When Romney says what he thinks, journalist often say that he has stuck his foot in his mouth. I believe the problem is much bigger than foot and mouth disease. The problem is where his brain resides unhinged most of the time. Unfettered from his handlers, he says precisely what he thinks.
For example, during the Republican primaries, he voiced one of his joys in the strangest way, "I like firing people!" It is impossible for me to imagine how a responsible person could even think this way, let alone voice his bias. Even if he never had to labor for a living, common sense would dictate that a "wanna be leader" not dis those of us who do work for a living.
Now, "There are 47% of the people..." comment illustrates his disdain for almost half of the country. This group includes the elderly, students, veterans and just plain poor people. For a candidate who has only released two years of his own tax returns, paid only thirteen percent income tax, and hid the rest of his money off shore, silence would make more sense.
With this view, if you don't have money, you don't matter now, and you won't in the future. Sort it out, the elephant is in the room. One might say of him, "Politic, cautious, and meticulous: Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse." Is being extremely rich a qualification for leading this great nation?
