Mitt Romney grudgingly offers two-sentence elaboration on his non-answer

First, Mitt Romney refused to say anything of substance about today's Supreme Court ruling against Arizona's immigration law, instead finding six different ways to say "Obama sucks." Then he sent his spokesman back to his plan to continue refusing to say anything. And now he's elaborated on his non-answer:

Now you probably heard today there was a Supreme Court decision relating to immigration and, you know, given the failure of the immigration policy in this country, I would have preferred to see the Supreme Court give more latitude to the states not less. And there are states now under this decision have less authority, less latitude, to enforce immigration laws.

And that's it—the full extent of his elaboration. The rest of his comments returned to his tried, true, and familiar "Obama sucks" refrain, but as for explaining what sort of latitude he would have wanted, and why he thinks it's bad that states have less of it ... not a word. But now he's offered two (to be generous) sentences of his view of the Supreme Court ruling: that he kind of doesn't like it. But it's still all Obama's fault.

I'm sure Mitten doesn't understand all these complexities., He will have a "briefing" tonight and be more on point tomorrow. You expect too much of this white shirt in the magic underwear.

More psycho babble from Romney. The man is showing his desperation.

We should all be trying to repair the massive economic damage and neglect of the unemployed done by Barack, Pelosi and Reid in the past 4 years. Attacking Mitt Romney will not solve anything now. Romney is not the GOP niomnee yet. He will probably be the next POTUS elected in 2012.
