\"17romney\"Mitt Romney sat at the head of the table at a coffee shop here on Thursday, listening to a group of unemployed Floridians explain the challenges of looking for work<\/strong>. When they finished, he weighed in with a predicament of his own.<\/p>\n

\u201cI should tell my story<\/strong>,\u201d Mr. Romney said. \u201cI\u2019m also unemployed<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

He chuckled. The eight people gathered around him, who had just finished talking about strategies of finding employment in a slow-to-recover economy, joined him in laughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you on LinkedIn?\u201d one of the men asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m networking,\u201d Mr. Romney replied. \u201cI have my sight on a particular job.\u201d<\/p>\n

The morning coffee hour at Buddy Brew Coffee here on West Kennedy Boulevard was interrupted by a conversation about small businesses and job creation as Mr. Romney finished a three-day swing through Florida. While his visit was largely focused on fund-raising<\/strong>, he spent more than an hour promoting his pitch that he would be a stronger steward of the economy than President Obama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But any of the bravado that accompanied him in the wake of his first presidential debate<\/a> on Monday in New Hampshire \u2014 he vowed to return to the state in four years, accompanied by a Secret Service detail \u2014 was absent. He took a humble, self-deprecating approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I had a job for everybody,\u201d Mr. Romney said at the end of his discussion. He added, \u201cI may be unemployed for longer than I\u2019d like<\/strong>.\u201d\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Give us a break, Newt.\u00a0 Your $hundreds of millions ensure that you don\u2019t have the slightest commonality with those people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, Romney is NOT unemployed.\u00a0\u00a0 His full time job is trying to become President.\u00a0 While in that role, his and his families luxurious living expenses are paid by those who contribute to his campaign.\u00a0 Therefore Romney is just another lying Republican hypocrite.\u00a0 If elected, he will govern exclusively for the benefit of millionaires, billionaires and corporate criminals, NOT you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
