Addressing the Detroit Economic Club Friday afternoon, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R) reprised his familiar line that “the trees are the right height” and “the streets are just right” in his home state.

But he also made another statement that could draw him some unwanted attention: he told the crowd that his wife, Ann Romney, drives “a couple of Cadillacs.”

If he was a democrat senator he would have said “She drives a Prius, a Volt a BMW and a Lexus.”

I don’t care about the Cadillacs.

What the hell does “the trees are the right height” mean? Doesn’t even make sense. Its obviously intentional ... he keeps repeating it.

Don’t most families have two cars these days? If people with money aren’t going to buy those “Cadillacs” then there wouldn’t be any reason to make them now, would there?

why would we want anyone to be a pretend pauper?

If can afford it, good for him. It certainly beats the way obama scammed his way to riches.

“...drives a couple of Cadillacs...”

I just want to know how Ann Romney manages to drive two cars at once...

It has to do with the strawberries, but someone keeps taking them.

It’s his version of the “Chewbacca Defense.”

” I’m talkin’ about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you’re in that jury room deliberatin’ and conjugatin’ the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must vote for Mitt!”

We just don't understand how the Super RICH live and they think it is normal for all of us. Don't everybody have .......(whatever)? Peasants!, my Oh my, how do they live?/s

CAVEAT: this is not class envy on my part. I truly think this is they way they think.

I think you are missing the point. By saying his wife drives a couple of Cadillacs rather than Mercedes or BMWs (or Rolls or Maybach) he thinks he IS being a pretend pauper.

Why repost an old article that has already been hashed out here?
