Mitt Romney decided to take his campaign to the point of negative but funny overkill on Monday when he compared President Obama to reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
During a campaign stop in Council Bluffs, Iowa the lawmaker revealed:
“I’ve been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama, then candidate Obama, going through Iowa making promises,” while adding, “I think the gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I’ve seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of ’til death do we part.”
This isn’t the first time that Mitt Romney has attempted to be in touch with modern day pop culture, he recently referred to the Twilight series which he says is his favorite.
In 2008 Mitt Romney drew slack from younger voters when he referenced the outdated “who let the dogs out.”
This isn’t the first time Obama has drawn odd comparisons, Romney compared him to Marie Antoinette.
His comment is still more pleasant than Rick Santorum who last January said President Obama should be pro-life since he’s black.
Romney’s President Obama comparison to Kim Kardashian arrived just in time for the Jan. 3 caucus in Iowa.
Do you think the comment made by Mitt Romney was warranted or a last ditch effort to gain some much needed attention as GOP voters take to the polls.
