Oh, puhleeze. The only obstacle Romney has ever really faced in his entire privileged life is the speed bump at the entrance to the Bloomfield Hills Country Club. That a freaking joke.

1. LOL

[4Q2u2]

2. There I was

Faced with possible poverty, I was torn by having to ask Dad for 1 million or 2 million dollars, just to get me over the hump.

[jsr]

7. It was pretty rough living off stock options:

"Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time." - Ann Romney, October 20, 1994

8. Born on Third Base

and still thinks he hit a Triple. The only options most of us have when it comes to stocks is how f-ed are we in our 401k's.

11. That must have been so scary for them!!!

[get the red out]

3. His car elevator

has ceased to go all the way to the top. If it ever did.

4. Barnacles on the yacht.

Those things can be just awful.

5. Sorry, the comments in that article made me almost vomit

I am sorry, that guy is insane.

6. Funny how Mitt doesn't like to talk about the secret to success...

Maybe it's because he knows in his case, it was choosing the right parents!

9. Did they ask him yet how he accumulated $200 million in his 401K?

It's not easy to do when the yearly maximum contribution is only around $15000.

Also ask him if he ever made personal investments from his 401K in companies his corporation was later going to buy.

10. President Obama sure placed an 'obstacle' in front of him. nt

[Agnosticsherbet]

12. The oobstacle that stopped him from getting his cars in the garrage was overcome by an elevator.

Thank the sweet lord Mitt was able to overcome that terrible obstacle by throwing money at it. How could he survive without it.

13. I know the pain of having your chateaubriand sliced on the bias instead of the diagonal.

And to make it worse, the shallots were not properly ground. How much must I endure, O Lord?

14. LOL

[LiberalElite]

15. What a tan -

rivals Boehner's!

[groundloop]

16. Try losing a parent as a youngster, then working your own way through college you Fuck

I have zero room to complain because I am doing relatively well now, but damn, when I listen to ultra-rich pricks who had everything handed to them talk about EVER having it rough it makes me puke.

[Ilsa]

17. Yes, because everyone thought he was a homely, short, fat female minority.

Gawd, save us.
