Exclusive: Mitt Romney’s Message to Classmate in 1965 High-School Yearbook

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by greatauntoftriplets (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

One Kelli Allman, a high-school friend of President Obama, shared with Time magazine the message a young “Barry” wrote in her high-school yearbook. Obama, whose best friend Greg accompanied Kelli to prom, calls her “extremely sweet and foxy” and suggests they keep in touch. You hear that, Kelli? He asked you to be in touch. Call him up! Classmates.com this thing!

Hours after the publication of the Obama note a man who graduated from the Cranbrook School in 1965 e-mailed our offices to say that he discovered a message from his classmate: none other than Mitt Romney, noted teenage bully and future presidential candidate. A scan of Romney’s note to this man, who asked to remain anonymous, is below: [at the Vanity Fair link]

You will have to go to the Vanity Fair article link ( HERE ) - in order to see the actual picture of Mitt Romney's Gay bashing episode apology.

Evidently, even back in High School - Romney was a flip flopper training politico.

i tried to call them - but their contact number (212 286 8180) redirects you to another Conde Nast number (212 286 2860) and it answers that No one is available right now, please call back during business hours.

1. He apologized? Wow. Did not know he did or that he had it in him. I give him credit for that.

2. He put in writing the awful thing he did? Not too swift. His dad the Governor would have hot the roof if he'd seen that. (Never mind that Mitt said it was 'taken out of context.' That's some BS!)

Especially the "S" in Stay in Touch. That "S" is something that came about - I think - with skaters.
