He got a form from the federal government. This is so he can get reimbursement for the services he provides for the poor and seniors. The form he gets to change addresses is 33 pages long.”

As has been pointed out:

"Romney contrasted this tale of government inefficiency with the wonderously efficient WaWa ordering system. But Mediate points out that the relevant form, which allows Medicaid fee for service providers to change their addresses, is actually two pages long."

So really, Romney should be happy the media cut the tape after "It's amazing!" That just depicts him as being out-of-touch. His whole speech shows him to be a liar.

sorry, i disagree. to know a major media outlet is using editing to tilt a story is reprehensible. what do you think about what they did?

as for romneys tale, did he make it up or is that what the doc told him?
