How Romney chickened out


Today Mitt Romney was asked by a crazy person at an event if President Obama should be tried for treason, and he stayed quiet.
Romney is proving today that he is not qualified to be president. If he doesn’t have the “cojones” to stand up to a loony in the audience, how do we expect him to stand up to any leader or non leader around the world.
Romney is so used to dealing in the board of directors, hiding from the workers, like most board members in corporations across the country, gutless members who hide behind dark windows in the penthouse of American large companies. 
He only knows how to fire people, send jobs overseas, but he has not guts, no balls to tell anybody that they are going overboard. 
He should be ashamed of himself.
During the Clinton Administration years republicans were fulling themselves with the fact that character is what makes a leader.
Where are those same republicans when we have a flip flopper  with the back bone of an ameba running for candidate of their party.

Let us look at the meaning of the treason:
Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]." In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aided or involved by such an endeavour.
 Outside legal spheres, the word "traitor" may also be used to describe a person who betrays (or is accused of betraying) their own political party, nation, family, friends, ethnic group, team, religion, social class, or other group to which they may belong. Often, such accusations are controversial and disputed, as the person may not identify with the group of which they are a member, or may otherwise disagree with the group leaders making the charge.

When I read this several things come to mind: One would be what the republicans in the house of representatives did with Clinton in the 90s; another would be what the republicans have done to bring down the Obama Administration and hurt the American people in the process; and third I cannot forget how the Bush Administration lied to the American people about the “Weapons of Mass Destruction”, that would include Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and others who orchestrated all kinds of lies about the threat of Iraq to the U.S.
Which leads me to believe that the people who say that President Obama should be tried for treason either don’t know the meaning of the word, and/or have lived in another planet during the previous administration.
That still doesn't take away the fact that Romney doesn't have the temper to put these people in their place.
