Politico Suspends Reporter Joe Williams For Mitt Romney Remarks

"Politico has suspended reporter Joe Williams following incendiary remarks he made about Mitt Romney on Thursday. He later said that he was "done" working for the organization.

Williams, Politico's White House correspondent, appeared on MSNBC with Martin Bashir to discuss Romney's stance on immigration. When asked why Romney has trouble connecting with Hispanic voters, Williams said that the candidate appears "very comfortable" around "white folks"...".*

I am the Whitest motherfucker anywhere ad I can not see the problem with his OPINION he is paid for his opinion and if I found out that he said something other than his opinion then I would be outraged and I don't see a racial component here

Ana right Ben wrong!

Obama re-elected, unemployment is down, and he has a 54% approval rating.....Man, you must pissed XD

[Nicholas K Girard]

Yeah man, Obama's a black guy but he's better at town halls..

Uhhh.. Nah.

I'm glad that we're attempting to remove race from political discussion, but it's a normal thing to talk about white people among afro-american culture.

I think intention is much more important. This wasn't worth firing.

[Toni Tommasi]

Of course! I agree with Ana.=)

(Part II) Paul Ryan is already looking liking a buffoon. Insider trading caught red handed simply did not get in trouble because law makers are above the law. It has been proven that any of RMoney and Ryan's plans would simply gut the middle class more and give that 1% bigger tax breaks. Romney is afraid to show his tax returns in fact he gives his dad the big middle finger because his dad showed his with nothing to hide. You are delusional and for that I am sorry.

[Chris LeDoux]

OK so the GOP controlled Senate fillabustering for everything under the sun has nothing to do with why Obama has been extremely unsuccessful, throwing out the majority rule in votes does not allow a law to pass how many votes have there been where the majority voted for something but it was held up because of non-sense. You would deport a service member who has given a fair portion of his life to this country.that is awesome way to support a vet.

[LeonBelmont121]

No sir, I am the whitest person "anywhere".

(PART III) The fact that gas prices continue to rise, which - in and of itself - is a tax on the American people. I could go on, buy I feel like I'm wasting my time. Later dude.

(PART II).... of Americans receive some form of welfare. The fact that there has been NO BUDGET since No-Bama took office. The fact that more black Americans than ever before remain unemployed. The fact that this president is all about socialistic programs that are bankrupting this country when the American people clearly do not embrace such a government. The fact that Obama has abused his powers as a president. The fact that his approval rating is at about 43% and falling.
