Mitt Romney has demonstrated his inability to relate to Main Street Americans time and time again.  That is understandable, given his silver spoon.  He relates to Banksters and corporate criminals, because he was one.  But even in a hand-picked group of Pennsylvania Republicans, he not only could not relate, but also, was haughty and offensive about it.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"19cookie\"Mitt Romney\u2019s mainframe continues to be unable to handle such basic functions like PANDER 3.0. Earlier this cycle, we watched as Romney was unable to answer a simple question about whether he enjoys NASCAR racing, while at a NASCAR race, and instead essentially changed the subject to the tremendous wealth of some of his friends<\/a>. And as evidenced by Romney\u2019s appearance at a Pittsburgh-area picnic on Tuesday, his human technicians have yet to fix the bug.<\/p>\n

At an outdoor roundtable with some Pennsylvania voters<\/a>, Romney was offered lemonade and cookies. You can imagine what fresh public-relations havoc this offering wrought. \u201cI\u2019m not sure about these cookies,\u201d Romney said. \u201cDid you make those cookies? You didn\u2019t, did you? No. No. They came from the local 7-Eleven bakery or wherever.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Soooooo grossssss. Ewwww. These cookies are, like, bought at a store where people can get gas right outside? That customers pump themselves? What are you, competing with the service class? Grosssss. Get this cookie away from me before it insists I claim it as a dependent\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I suppose that the common foods Main Street Americans eat are not good enough for Switch Hit Mitt.  Neither are Main Street American Votes.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
