REAL PROOF - Mitt Romney Can't Even Change A Lightbulb !!



The summary at the video makes the point that if America is looking for a problem-solver to help fix the country's major problems, can we really look to someone who not only prefers to fix even small problems with the wrong tools, they then goes on to make matters worse by covering up their mistaken 'solutions' with even worse patches and band-aids.

It may only be parable of how Mitt operates, but it sure drives home the point. KEEP THAT MAN AWAY FROM THE NUCLEAR CODES - he may just enter his pin number in to see if it works -- he isn't just a man of wrong solutions, he's the last to correct his mistakes even when it is obvious to everyone else around him.

Or call his I dunno light bulb changer person. Geez with all that money you would think he would have people on payroll to do those things for him.

One splatter of hot grease on a lightbulb not designed for being used near a stove -- exploding glass, an electrical fire, a startled wife dropping a pot of boiling water on a small child?

Is this someone who is using their brains?

Not any. They all give up and call an electrician...

5. A. One. They stand holding the bulb and wait for the world to revolve around them.

Just in case anyone had any doubts...

6. What's scarier -- the scary repair or the family pride in the scary repair?

I'm so glad there are others who are as mortified at this repair as I am. I don't know what's scarier -- the potential for an electrical fire because it's the wrong type bulb, the tin-foil/duct tape combo, or the family pride. Let's just be grateful he's not responsible for the levees in Louisiana.

7. I'm scared that his family thinks it is genius -- or that being stupid should be celebrated

I wonder if the idiot even knows those bulbs don't come from a garden, despite him seeing a sign 'plant your bulbs early' at the nursery

8. This video is a little too meme-heavy for me.

I believe Mitt refers to the blinding glare of that light bulb as "negative campaigning"
