    I don't get the 'Romney Hood' slur. (Isn't Robin Hood generally heroic? Wasn't he portrayed on the silver screen by Kevin Costner & others?)

        @mattklewis See the full quote in which Obama defines that as "like Robin Hood in reverse." cc: @jonward11

        @OKnox @mattklewis i saw that, but when an anecdote needs an explanation, it's not a great anecdote

        @mattklewis It's irony. Robin took from rich to give to poor. Romney wants to deny free cancer screenings while giving breaks to rich.

        @mattklewis that's why #RomneyHood is a REVERSE Robin Hood. "I steal from the poor and give to the rich." It's not complicated.

        @mattklewis So a Reversed Robin Hood would be forcing Citizens to Give even more of their wealth to the Government. 2/2

        @mattklewis It's that Romney is a _reverse_ Robin Hood, who would apply hardships to the poor in order to make the rich richer.

        @mattklewis Like all slurs the led tends to toss around, it doesn’t make any sense. It does to them, but they’re insane.
