Democrats and liberals quickly ridiculed the remark on Twitter. “I don’t know people who fish but I know people who own yachts,” tweeted Brad Woodhouse, communications director of the Democratic National Committee. Ari Melber, a writer for the liberal Nation magazine who apparently was watching the Oscars, tweeted: “Do I like movies? Well I have some friends who own movie companies.”

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 can’t be perfect. I just am who I am,” Romney responded.

Myth probably knows some real conservatives, too. Just not on a first-name basis.

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?”

The choice this Fall likely to come down to an America-hating Marxist usurper versus an out-of-touch RINO-rich liberal knothead. How could this happen? Ronald Reagan, where are you?
