3. During the 2012 presidential campaign, MITT ROMNEY committed numerous gaffes that put his extreme wealth in an unfavorable light, including his comment that 47 percent of Americans are "dependent upon government" and his offer of a $10,000 bet with a debate opponent.
Less publicized was a 2011 statement in which he actually misstated his own name. At the start of a 2011 debate, CNN's Wolf Blitzer said: "I'm Wold Blitzer, and yes, that's my real name." Romney then said : "I'm Mitt Romney--and yes, Wolf, that's also my first name." But Romney's first name isn't Mitt, that's his middle name. His first name is Willard.
Just trying to be a smart-aleck I guess.
4. And then there's the man who beat Romney, President Barack Obama, who has visited all "57 states" and suggesting that Charleston, S.C., Savannah, Ga.,, and Jacksonville, Fla. are on the Gulf Coast.
But perhaps his most painful gaffe came in a 2011 speech to the troops when he referred to Medal of Honor recipient killed in Afghanistan as if he were still alive. He later called the family to apologize.
