Mitt Romney feels your pain.
The former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate shared a laugh Thursday with a group of jobless Floridians as he told them, "I'm also unemployed."
Technically, that's true. Running full-time for president of the United States is, alas, not a job.
But coming from a successful businessman and multimillionaire who surely has substantial investment income, the remark quickly became fodder for Democrats -- particularly amid a partisan fight over who's more serious about the economy.
"Out of touch much ... ," declared an email from the Democratic National Committee.
What a boneheaded comment that denigrates the rest of Americans who are REALLY suffering and struggling with house payments (how many houses does HE own???) and eletric bills, not to mention feeding their families. Those kind of thoughtless comments, trying to be funny about something which is never funny, can sink a candidate.
