Mitt Romney says he feels your pain because he lives your pain (Larry Downing/Reuters)
Debbie Wasserman Schultz sounds off on Mitt Romney's "joke" to unemployed Floridians that he's "also unemployed."
“Mitt Romney’s comments today at an event with unemployed Floridians that he’s ‘also unemployed’ is inappropriate and insensitive to the millions of Americans looking for work. This comment shows that Mitt Romney – a man who wants for nothing and whose only occupation for more than four years has been to run for President - is incredibly out of touch with what’s going on in our country and around the dinner tables of those who are out of work.
“Being unemployed, Mr. Romney, is not a joke ... The fact is, the failed policies of the past, that he is advocating for, got us into the situation we’re in the first place and Americans want neither a repeat of those policies or the type of out-of-touch and failed leadership Mitt Romney represents.”
Apparently Romney has said this before. If this is the kind of stuff he's going to spew on the campaign trail, maybe he isn't the GOP's "strongest" candidate after all, no matter what the polls say.
