Did Romney put on a fake tan to look browner so he could appeal to Latino voters on his Univision appearance?

I can't believe the cheap lows that Romney sinks to in an effort to pander to potential voters. Look at the backs of his hands in this picture; look how white they are, especially compared to his suddenly-brown face. Yesterday, Sept. 19, his face was the same pale white color as his hands. Disgusting.

It's disgusting. It's offensive. It shows that he thinks that he can reach potential voters via his physical appearance instead of through helpful ideas.

Here he is yesterday:

Here he is today, at Univision:

Mittzak needs another 5 or 6 percent of latino votes to become competitive. Painting his face brown only covers the color of his embarrassment, and wouldn't be suprised if he ends up LOSING more support from that community.

We don't care about your color, your religion, your money, nor that your Dad was born in Mexico. We want to know in detail what you are going to do once in the White House. Heck, any politician can go on stage and recite that they will reduce the deficit, create jobs, and help Israel. Any politician can promise to build you a bridge, and than you think, great, but we don't even have a creek or river. Pack it up Mitt!!

The problem with Romney is that he wants it too bad. He just WANTS to be President. He has no plan...he just wants it.

I can't speculate as to why Romney is wearing a John Boehner mask here... It's kinda silly. I'll just be glad when he loses so we don't have to keep looking at him. At this point, Obama would have to juggle live cats and bite thier heads off on TV to lose.

@ron: Ted Danson's behavior 10 yrs ago was definitely poor judgment. If you'll recall, he was dating Whoopi Goldberg at the time. He thought she would laugh at what he did; he was wrong. But that's a world of difference away from a candidate for President of the United States changing his appearance to pander to any group. Suppose he was talking on a TV show that caters to the concerns of albinos, and he put white pancake makeup on his exposed skin to look like them. Now do you get it?

@Marcus Clark: That judgment by you is not only wrong, it is inaccurate. A racist, according to my dictionary, is: "A person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others." My discussing the sudden physical change by a candidate to make himself look more like a particular segment of voters has nothing to do with racism. It shows only that I saw what Romney did and commented on it. Yes - and judged it - because it shows a blatantly sad and disrespectful attempt to reach people that he would otherwise be unlikely to gain support from.

That such a question would even be plausible just shows how the guy is perceived --as lacking any real character and willing to do anything to win votes.

I don't think he's that much of a commited person to anything. So I think tanner would be too commited. Its more likely pancake make-up. That way he can wash his hands of it when finished. Just as he will do to this country.
