This pic to me is absolutely hilarious...and sad...and discouraging all at the same time...

Who thinks it was an intentional thumb in our faces?

Who thinks it was incompetence??

Or is it a Fruedian slip?

Or is it a deliberate thumbing of the nose to the world?

Or is just that the tallest two kids got confused?

Either which way, it seems the most appropriate statement of priorities that I've seen yet from either camp. At least this is an honest statement of what politicians care about.

The kids obviously practiced what order to stand in before getting on stage but once they were standing in front of all those people, they probably got flustered and nervous and just messed up.

Another late observation... phonetically it says "Our money".

Interesting.

Actually I noticed that as well, I was actually going to make the title thread "Our Money" but figured that wouldn't be descriptive enough...anyway yes "Our Money" and "Rmoney" very similar and very coincidental...

Anyway I bet hes hoping that soon our money is his money...

It's a photoshop.

So the only irony here is that Romney mistakenly assumed humanity was mature enough to not prank a family photo of his grand kids.

Interesting find, I'm actually kind upset I was duped but I guess thats a lesson in anything these days...you need to validate absolutely everything with your OWN eyes and ears because its so incredibly easy to fake things these days, especially pics...

Having said that...

the conspiracy theorist in me want's to point our the impossibility of actually validating which is right...they could have just of easily Photoshopped the original to say "Romney" for damage control...I guess we'll really never know.

In the HuffPo article are links showing the grandson in glasses was wearing the 'O' shirt.

I understand that is the claim but how can you validate that? Either pic is sus of photoshopping...so which is it? Was the original Photoshopped to say "Rmoney" to demonize Mitt? Or was the original Photoshopped to say "Romney" as damage control for what would be quite a embarrassing blunder...

I think this is equally appropriate for political madness as a faked picture of Mitt's family to say "Rmoney" is indeed political madness....I'm not trying to hoax anyone as much as I myself got hoaxed in this case...

Look at the shadow lines and creases on the edge of the M and O. Also, once HuffPo makes a statement of defense directed at any member of the GOP, it Becomes pretty obvious.

We are highly fallible. We are corruptible. We are susceptible to greed and bribery.

The reason why we are this way is because we want the very best for our families. We want the best things for our spouses and kids. We want them to have the very best medical coverage, the best doctors, the best education at the best schools, the most secure neighborhoods.

These things come at a grievous cost.

They come at the expense of other people not having them for their families. Make no mistake about it most of the time the other guy would gladly change spots with you and not lend a hand to help you out. It is a capitalist society. Capital. Money. Our bottom line as American's. We write the name of God on our money.

There is not enough resources to go around for every human to have top medical care. There is not enough to go around for every person to even have medical insurance. There are not enough good schools for every child to attend. There are not enough high paying jobs to afford to live in exclusive private gated communities nor the communities themselves for everyone.

When an extra few hundred thousand dollars is the difference between watching your child rot and waste away from Leukemia or affording to fly them out to the best clinic in the country to get care from the best surgeon specializing in curing it. Would any parent seriously sacrifice at the cost of their child's life? Or their spouse? Or even their own life?

I’ll select option “C” or “D”

"C" - He was behind them so he couldn’t see it, or

"D" - it was photoshop!

Sorry im not too familiar with HuffPo so I don't know their leanings/agenda etc...

Whoever did the Photoshop did an amazing job in my opinion as its almost impossible to tell either way which was the original. Shadows and lighting can be deceiving on wrinkled/creased surfaces so I'm not confident based on shadows and lighting...

Well I personally looked both images over in Photoshop and am comfortable enough to say that personally I agree that it was a Photoshop in which case this pisses me off...

As much as I agree with the sentiment of the Photoshopped pic I absolutely hate lies and deception/propaganda...and that is exactly what this is.

the pic still makes me laugh tho...

Yeah, shame on those immature political satirists! How dare they try to make commentary about a politician's economic policy by distorting an image for humorous and thought-provoking effect!?

It's dastardly, even.
