If Romney is to stand a chance, he needs to start using a teleprompter or at least prepare a bit better. To be fair, the line “I like firing people” was taken out of context, the full speech discussed not being stuck with one particular health care provider, “firing” those who don’t offer good service. Fair enough? Mitt’s “I’m not concerned about the very poor” will be tough to recover from. Unfortunately, it leads to the conclusion that he is far from being in touch with the common man. He says the poor have a safety net. That safety net over a year’s time is about as much income as Romney makes in about an hour, give or take.
And anyone who thinks the sudden Christian in the white house today is in touch with the “common man” ought to have his head examined. Romney may not be concerned about the “very poor” (to be fair, it’s because they have a safety net) but I doubt his policies would create as many new poor as Obama’s have.
