Earlier today at a campaign stop in Fairfax, Virginia, President Obama rolled out his newest attack on Mitt Romney.
You see, it’s not that Mitt Romney is a pathological liar who’s willing to say or do anything to get elected. In fact, Mitt Romney is not a well man.
Mitt Romney has… Romnesia.
Rom·ne·sia [rohm-nee-zhuh] noun: a condition contracted by political candidates and their campaigns; primary symptom is contradicting the candidate’s previous statements, their advisors, or video or audio recordings of the candidate, occasionally within as little as 24 hours of making said statement or recording.
Origin:
Unfortunately, Romnesia is highly contagious, and is reported to have spread to the whole of the Romney/Ryan campaign. Contact with these individuals should be avoided at all costs.
Let’s turn to Twitter to see if we can get a good example of Romnesia:
If you still think the Iraq War is such a good idea that you hire everyone who planned it, you’ve got some terminal #Romnesia.

Fortunately for Mitt Romney, we’ve got some good news.
Good news: Obamacare covers pre-existing conditions—like “#Romnesia.” OFA.BO/GuVkG4

Unfortunately for the Romney/Ryan campaign, the only cure for Romnesia is to find a position and stick with it.
