Mitt Romney spoke to several empty seats Friday in Detroit, in a speech that offered Democrats more fodder for their attacks and failed to deliver the major economic address his campaign promised.
Television cameras showed rows of empty chairs as Romney rehashed many of the policies and quips he’d used in previous speeches, made a few jokes that appeared to fall flat with the audience and said that his wife, Ann, drives “a couple of Cadillacs,” which will likely give Democrats more ammunition for their depiction of him as rich and out of touch.
The former Massachusetts governor also repeated a line that has been the butt of jokes by late-night comedians — that Michigan has good-sized trees.
“This feels good, being back in Michigan,” he said. “The trees are the right height. The streets are just right.”
Romney then listed the various cars he and his wife own.
“I drive a Mustang and Chevy pickup truck,” he said. “Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs, actually. I used to have a Dodge truck, so I used to have all three [Detroit manufacturers] covered.”

You my not so much friend, are the one talking about money. Once again, you also use liking money in a negative connotation. Please, continue to call me a liberal as you say such things....smh
So, we must all bow-down to the silver-spoons??
It’s obvious liberals and Dems tended to be the richest, and it’s us against the elites.
I really couldn’t care less about how many cars the Romneys have.
This probably wouldn’t be a major issue with most Democrats either. What would be is either perceived “extreme right wing” policies (i.e. anything “normal”) or waffling. Romney should really open a nationwide chain of breakfast restaurants with all his waffles.
So you’re against them because they’re rich, or the policy positions they take?
“How does he transport his dog if he doesn’t have that anymore?”
I heard the dog ran away as soon as it arrived in Canada
The policies. But I figure the fact that Romney was born with a silver-spoon in his mouth, without having ever earned it, is just as good as any bit of ammo to use against him.
We need to defeat Romney every bit as we need to defeat Obama, any and all ammo helps.
If Milt becomes President, I’ll be joining the dog too. LOL.
“I’ll be joining the dog too”
I’ve heard Australia is the 3rd happiest place to live. I think I might look around there.
I read it twice and I still don’t get it.

Cadillac. GM cars. Nuff said.
Obama drives a Canadian Bus.
You’re nuts! And obsessed about other peoples’ money. Get help and I can’t help you. I have no patience for stupidity/liberals.
Not for nothing, but should the rich stop buying cars? That’s a sure way to put them out of business. I can’t believe how the “hate the rich” mantra has creeped into the FR mentality.
“drives TWO Cadillacs”
Well as long as she does not try to drive them both at the same time, what’s the problem?;)
“Obama will eat his lunch come election time.”
I have my doubts whether Mittens will be nominated...they will probably both be sharing a sandwich on the unemployment line;)
Mitt Headroom is Obama with better hair.
