So the state is liberal, so they voted Obama, do posters here thing there are no Republicans living in Ca?
Oh, I don't know....perhaps the chaffuer?

I wouldn't expect to see Donald Trump pumping his own gas either.

So yes, it is comment worthy.

Do you think Mitt mows his own lawn, shovels his own driveway, washes his own windows, cleans his own pool, washes his own car like most of those 47 percenters do?

He obviously didn't have a chauffer taking them out for pizza, did he? So yes, I would think he would be pumping his own gas. Did you know Barack Obama is rich too? Are you going to freak out if you see him pumping gas after he is out of the White House?

Looks like Ann's concern for Mitt's mental well being was well founded.
He looks insane, doesn't he? I hope he does not go postal on some black or Hispanic people.

Obama's wealth is miniscule compared to Mitt's.....and Obama wasn't brought up in privilege like Mitt.....there is no comparison between the two in this aspect.

Doesn't matter. It's all relative;both of them are way more wealthy than most of us will ever have, I'm sure. So what if Romney grew up with money? Does that make you mad? The money was earned honestly. Why have an attitude against someone just because they have money? From what I have seen he has never acted like he was too good to pump his own gas.

But once again, here goes a thread trying to trash Romney EVEN AFTER OBAMA WON. I don't get it.

OMG.....people simply find it unusal to see a man of Mitt's wealth pumping his own gas....because guess what.....most do not.

And yes, I do dislike Mitt Romney.....and it isn't because of his wealth. I don't like him becasue he is dishonest and self serving. He wanted to be president not to serve the people, but to feed his own ego. Plain and simple.

"Mitt Romney seen pumping gas in La Jolla"

Maybe he could get a job at the gas station. He's been unemployed for an awfully long time.

i'm confused.

bush senior was vilified 20 years ago because he was supposedly clueless about how upc codes on grocery products worked. the take-home message being that he was so insulated from everyday life that he didn't know any better.

yet romney is vilified because he puts gas in his vehicle?


someone explain this to me.
