where the heck that statement came from and no one could come up with anything but I have a theory.

My guess is this is something someone who's rich and spoiled enough to live anywhere they want that they can be particular about tree height as a factor of where they choose to live. Obviously, other factors influenced which state he chose to live in but who would consider the minor detail of tree height but someone rich enough to live anywhere they want? This is a concern of the super rich and someone out of touch with the day to day lives of the 99%. This is something someone would say who can afford to have a hypersensitivity to "imperfections" because they can afford perfect. 99% of us can't afford perfect so we can't put our minds around this statement.

Not sure if I'm right but that was my initial thought when I first heard Romney say this.

How can anyone think we are supposed to take this tool as anything but a rich, spoiled grown kid.
