Romney has no clue what the average, everyday working American goes through. He doesn't even know how much a gallon of milk costs. Romney is for corporations because "they are people too." Romney's foreign policy hinges on starting a cold war with "the Soviets" as if we are re-living 1982. Mark my words, he will lose in November. He has to win too many swing states to even squeak out a victory. It's not gonna happen.
Do you remember this from the 2008 election?
“Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?” Obama asked an Iowa crowd in 2007. I had to Google “arugula” to discover it’s a leafy substitute for lettuce in trendy restaurant salads. Most people don’t shop at Whole Foods (which specializes in “organic” foods and other environmentally-fashionable products). And most women, I suspect, aren’t looking for a presidential candidate who reminds them more of their high school French teacher than of John F. Kennedy."

I don't understand your line of reasoning regarding arugula. Is it that you are saying that if Obama eats trendy foods he must be for the fat-cats? For me, determining how a candidate comes down on the actual issues is a far better predictor of how that candidate will form policy than using food as a measure. GW Bush was thought to be a guy people would like to have a beer with. Yet, his policies were tilted far towards the wealthy and corporations.
Obama might like arugula (and JFK owned yachts) but both clearly put in place policies that favor the working person over elite interests.
So what if a president comes from money..So did GWB and look what he did. If Romney can help turn around the economy I dont care how much money he has. I dont think he has ever done / said anyting to imply he does not support working people..

Romney can't turn around the economy any more than Obama can. What is he going to do, bail out European economies that are in trouble? It is simply ridiculous to expect that the president of the US can change global economics substantially. What one would vote for Romney for is that he stands (we think) for smaller government and fiscal discipline while the Dems see a larger role for government in dealing with the nation's problems. Neither man can do much for the world's economy but talk about it.
Conservative voters will have to mull over the one pressing question they will have in November.
That question is "Who do I hate more, a black president or a Mormon?
Born into a family of multi-millionaires. Spent his entire life living in luxury and privilege. Was strongly in favor fo the Vietnam War as long as "little people" were being killed, crippled, and blinded. Now speaks strongly in favor of action against Iran, as long as none of his five strong healthy sons is at risk of serving.
Made a career of shutting down American manufacturers and laying off thousands of workers, but touts this business experience as just what America needs right now to get the economy back on track.
Yeah, Romney...
Another richy rich boy who was given every advantage in life and continually speaks disdainfully of everyone who's less fortunate as though they exist solely for his amusement.
Go ahead, GOP. Convince me that he should be president. This is all you've got?
The more we see of Romney, the better Obama looks.
Obama is taking heat for things beyond his control from his name to the problems conservative economic "solutions" are causing in Europe. If the world economy does not improve in a few months, he will be in serious trouble. Should that happen, he should step down at the convention and call on the delegates to support Hillary Clinton as the nominee. Clinton would be a lock. We simply can not afford to have the tea partiers, evangelicals, war mongers, and racists take over this country as will happen if Romney is elected.
Neither Obama nor Hillary are going to reverse the downward spiral of this country's government. They are both corrupt tools of Wall Street.
