Most of the outraged people agree with what Romney wrote. They just are upset he wrote it.
Yesterday, Mitt Romney had an op-ed go up at the Washington Post in which he said what pretty much everyone except the President’s most ardent supporters think. The President has bad character.
Romney said nothing out of the ordinary for political conversations. In fact, some of the very people most outraged in public about Romney are, in private, open to saying the same thing Romney said publicly. That, however, is the problem. The outrage is not over what Mitt Romney said, but rather that he said it. By being willing to say publicly what others say privately, he puts the others in difficult positions. So they have to respond.
There’s also a bit of ridiculous court politics at play. The courtiers have to dance around and parade for the king, so to speak. The ones screaming the loudest about Romney are typically the ones who most agree with him, but also need the grace and favor of the President.
