Mitt Romney went to the Daytona 500 NASCAR race Sunday in what should have been a chance to show hes one of the guys. Instead, in casual conversation with an Associated Press reporter at the Florida track, he reminded people once again that he is not exactly a regular Joe.
Asked by the AP reporter if he follows NASCAR, Romney responded, "Not as closely as some of the most ardent fans. But I have some great friends who are NASCAR team owners."

It was the second time in three days that Romney, a former CEO and former Massachusetts governor who is worth up to $250 million, stepped on his message with an offhand remark that backfired. After giving an economic speech at Ford Field in Detroit on Friday, he ignited a media eruption by mentioning at least four cars he owns and saying his wife Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs.
Governor, can you understand why some voters would be put off by those things? Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked Romney on Sunday morning. I cant be perfect. I just am who I am, Romney responded.
What? He is not a community organizer?
Most people have some black friends, Romney has friends that own them.
That’s nice Mittens, I have friends who own NASCAR hats
Myth probably knows some real conservatives, too. Just not on a first-name basis.
oh geeeeeeeez... can you imagine this dweeb debating Obama?
Obama: “We have done more to make this economy better than what I inheritted from my predecessor than any other President in History”
Romney: “Oh Really? I betcha $10,000 it’s not better than it used to be, huh? c’mon- you wanna bet?”
Obama: “Well we used Romneycare as a basis for implementing Obamacare to do the same thing you did for all 50 states”
Romney: “Well.. Oh yeah? I betcha you didnt- c’mon heh heh heh - wanna bet?”
Most minorities are hired by the government so since Romney is not a government hack, that would not be a true statement. They be owned by government.
Nice Mitz. Now all you need is a fake southern accent asking “Where can I get me a huntin’ license”.
Schmuck!

I know I shouldn’t have laughed at that, but I did.
C’MON Mitt! Name them so we can boycott them and their sponsors. Let’s see how long they remain your friend. If they ever were and you didn’t lie about it, Which I suspect.
