The fact that Romney is a millionaire and that his “job search” expenses are being paid out of a multimillion dollar campaign fund was brushed aside as irrelevant. “Corporate executives who are downsized are still counted as unemployed even if they have millions in the bank when they’re let go,” the spokesman pointed out. “So, based on the facts, the Governor’s statement is correct.”

Poor guy will be unemployed for another six years, at least, I expect.
Sure, I’ll buy into that!
I’m sure glad I read beyond the headline...for a moment, I thought he might be going to the Big House for forgery.
I know. What an idiotic headline.
I will do my best to ensure that he stays unemployed. Maybe he should move back to Detroit and draw unemployment, welfare, Medicaid, housing subsidies, etc.
G DAMN IT TO HELL THEY”RE AT IT AGAIN ARRGGGG!!! The liberal media is picking our canidate again. If this flip-flopping f’ing RINO is it then Obama has already been re-elected, the election is over before it began.
