Barack -- "Shovel ready wasn't as shovel ready as we thought."
Mitt -- "I'm also unemployed."
Both are fucking idiots who have no idea what the 20+ million un/deremployed in this country are dealing with every goddamned day.
Mitt Romney to voters: ‘I’m also unemployed’
By Holly Bailey
It's a line that's sure to come back to haunt Mitt Romney.
At a campaign event in Florida today, the 2012 Republican frontrunner met with a group of unemployed workers who talked about their challenges looking for jobs in the struggling economy.
After they concluded, the former Massachusetts governor suggested he should tell his own "story," according to the New York Times' Jeff Zeleny.
"I'm also unemployed," Romney replied, with a smile.
The comment was clearly meant to hint jokingly at Romney's bid for the presidency, but it was also an odd statement coming from a candidate whose financial situation is so far removed from his audience's. A former head of Bain Capital, Romney is said to be worth at least $200 million--wealth that has enabled him to concentrate on running for president full time for the better part of the last five years.
But Romney's audience was in on the joke. According to Zeleny, the group "chuckled" along with Romney, with one man asking, "Are you on LinkedIn?"
The former governor replied, "I'm networking. I have my sight on a particular job."

the problems in the USA are primarily caused by inequitable wealth distribution engineering and inequitable taxation.
richest 1% holds 42% of Americas Financial Wealth --that is 6 Tines what the bottom 80% hold--, top 5% holds 72% --10 times the bottom 80%, bottom 80% holds only 7% of americas Financial wealth..so 93% of Americas Financial Wealth is horded by the top 20%.
the top 20% do not pay their fair share of taxes, what is quoted is before loopholes. the majority of income to the rich is capital gains Income. if the lower 80% wins the lottery they pay BEFORE THEY SEE A PENNY, MINIMUM OF 28%, BUT ~40% TO 50% for less than what the top 5% can make in a day and pay 15%, so how did the rich Vaccinated against taxes.??
the GOP believes that wealth/power is proof of gods favor of a man so it is a sin to tax them, and the poor are being punished by god so it is a sin to help them and not torment them. this Anti-Christ crap is a product of Doug Coes "the Family, AKA: the Christian Mafia, they call themselves that.
their organization was started by a Nazi, Abraham Vereide in 1934. Vereide started the popular Prayer Breakfasts that Politicians are always going to.. Doug Coe, who picked up Vereide's torch/cross personally draws up the guest list and chooses who speaks. Coe and 'Family' members call themselves the Christian Mafia the organization is constructed of secret prayer cells. they have taken over the leadership of the GOP, and the Evangelical movement to create a Theocratic government without the present Constitution.

It was a dumb comment by Romney, but at this point in the campaign I'm supporting Romney for President.
