Romney didn't really mean to say he wanted to hang Obama when he said he wanted to hang Obama

Those Bain consultants always have been known for making enormous gaffes. That's why they're paid the big bucks. CNN:

Using a commonly-said phrase as he was discussing the economy, Romney told the crowd, "You remember during that during the Ronald Reagan/Jimmy Carter debates, that Ronald Reagan came up with this great thing about the 'misery index' and he hung that around Jimmy Carter's neck and that had a lot to do with Jimmy Carter losing. Well, we're going to have to hang the 'Obama Misery Index' around his neck. And I'll tell you, the fact that you've got people in this country really squeezed, with gasoline getting so expensive, with commodities getting so expensive, families are having a hard making ends meet. So we're going to have to talk about that, and housing foreclosures and bankruptcies and higher taxation."

But Romney then said, "We're going to hang him with that, uh, so to speak – metaphorically. You have to be careful these days. I learned that."

Of course, this remark really could cause some serious competition among the Trump crowd who eat up his racist remarks. Trump can't be happy about losing such an opportunity.
