Dems hope to portray Romney as Monty Burns—with better hair
By Alexander Bolton - 01/09/12 06:35 PM ET

Mitt Romney has tried to portray himself as a regular guy in campaign speeches and meet-and-greet events with voters but his penchant for gaffes has undermined the effort, which Democrats plan to exploit in a general election match-up.

His remark Monday that he likes to be able “fire people” is the latest awkward statement that will haunt him if he wins the GOP nomination.

Democrats on Monday described the statement as one of several “silver bullets” they plan to use in the summer and fall, if Romney becomes the Republican nominee.

They hope to turn him into a caricature of a greedy capitalist, a Monty Burns with better hair and a stronger jaw.

1. I think way too much is being made about that statement. He likes to fire people who do not deliver

the services they're being paid to do. I understood that as what he meant. Grasping at straws here, there are so many other gaffes to choose from.

Book sales, investments, etc.

7. But Obama's family

Didn't have millions like Mittens did. Mittens was born with a silver spoon up his ass.

6. He's more like

Clark Griswald from the movie Vacation.
