Mitt Romney , 'the plutocrat from central casting' (h/t to Frank Rich) makes another faux pas with his version of 'let them eat cake'.
Asked whether he was aware of Occupy Wall Street and what could be done to close the wealth gap, Mittens responds with an empathetic, "I understand how those people feel".
Those people. Those little, 99%'er, much poorer than me, people. Could he isolate himself any further into the very narrow band of 1 percenters than by calling everyone else those people'?
Tell us how those people feel Mitt, because you have such vast experience with the 99 percenters.
Are you sure you really want to be President of all 'those people', Mitt, those great unwashed masses?
"I worry about the middle class. I understand how 'middle Americans' feel. (ha ha don't you love being called a middle-American?) And there are a lot of people casting about looking for answers".
But, Mittens doesn't suggest any answer at all.
