The very poor gaffe = Romney's Bittergate?

It is important to me that we have a president who can identify with understand the plight of Americans who struggle every day to pay the bills and put food on the table; someone who knows what that is like.

only 300k etc.

it's a pattern with this guy. if it was just one time you can maybe say he just didn't speak well or whatever. but it always happens.

and of course when talking about the wealthy , his corporations are people, people are jealous of wealthy like him etc. free enterprise and all the other crap.

it goes something like: poor people do most of the living and dying in this town.

Yeah, Romney would have to step up to become a rotten banker like Mr. Potter. It's not about the meager safety net. It's about the heart of people. With men like Mitt, we are nothing but downtrodden peons whose pensions are fair game for millionaire's sons.
