1) While in Florida on MLK day, Willard says: "Who let the dogs out" as a form of saying cheese while surrounded by African American youth.
2) He then points to a baby with a little necklace and says, "bling bling." Yup that's right folks, Mitt "F-ing" Romney just said, "bling bling."
Though I know some have and may still, I am not going to go as far as to call this racist, you can be the judge of that yourself. However, I will comfortably point to it as a hilariously poor attempt on ole' Willard's part to seem "hip" with young African-American voters, and how unbelievably out-of-touch he comes across as.
What reality does he live in? Does Willard really think he can drop some dated MTV lingo and be "down" with the youth? Any of the other candidates would have at least come across as a normal human beings in this situation, only Romney could have possibly made it this awkward.
