Ahead of Final Debate, Obama Chides Opponent on “Romnesia”

HeadlineOct 22, 2012

President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney square off in Boca Raton, Florida, tonight for a third and final debate focused on foreign policy. On the campaign trail in Virginia, Obama debuted a new dig at Romney, saying his opponent’s alleged wavering on political stances can be explained as a case of “Romnesia.”

President Obama: “He’s forgetting what his own positions are, and he’s betting that you will, too. I mean, he’s changing up so much and backtracking and sidestepping, we’ve got to — we’ve got to — we’ve got to name this condition that he’s going through. I think — I think it’s called 'Romnesia.' That’s what it’s called.”
