Barack Obama today coined a new term, “Romnesia,” saying, Mitt Romney is “changing up so much, we’ve got to name this condition that he’s going through — I think it’s called ‘Romnesia’.” The President, speaking at rally at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, added, “Romnesia is a curable disease. And good news: Obamacare covers pre-existing conditions,” and, ”Mr Severely Conservative wants you to think he was severely kidding.”
“Now,” he continued, “I’m not a medical doctor, but i do want to go over the symptoms with you—because I want to make sure nobody else catches it.”
“You know if you say if you’re for equal pay, but you can’t say if you’ll sign a bill for equal pay, you might have Romnesia.”
“If you say you think women should have access to contraceptive care, but you support legislation that would let employers deny contraceptive care, you might have Romnesia.”
“If you say you you’ll protect a woman’s right to choose, but you stand up in a primary debate and said that you’d be delighted to ban abortion in all cases, then you definitely have Romnesia.”
Of course, social media sites, like Twitter, were lit on fire.
POTUS is on fire this morning! “#Romnesia is a curable disease. And good news: Obamacare covers pre-existing conditions”#Obama2012

Loving the #Obamacare #Romnesia comments on social networking; a great bit of levity in the campaign and a clear energiser for the Democratic base (http://goo.gl/zCeDD), there will be some fallout for Romney over this. It may be a pithy bit of electoral work but the zingy comments coming from the Obama camp are getting the twittersphere (and other social networks: http://goo.gl/8FyZJ) all fired up.
