The sheer audacity of Romney is breath taking.

To immagine a candidate for the Presidency of the United States would go off shore to raise funds for his campaign is very difficult to understand, I simply can not fathom that he had the audacity to do that. Just who's interests does this man report to represent? Fer christsakes, this is an insult to the entire country.

spending a week or so overseas while campaigning four years ago. And he's having huge fundraisers in Paris, Switzerland, and a few other places around now.

It's not problem campaigning and fundraising amongst Americans, even if they live overseas, but the President, being President and all, can't take the time to do it this year.

Romney's real problem is, well... he's Romney, and he can't change that.

Now I know why he's so vague. It's because his handlers know that to know Romney, is to not like him.

I used to think he was okay. An honest looking, somewhat likeable man.

Now I see him as an arrogant bully who has lived a privileged life and not only has no idea what it means to be a normal human being, but he cannot even relate to normal human beings. He lives in a different world. A world of dancing horses, of not paying taxes, of car elevators, of bullying other people, of enjoying firing people, of being all about himself and himself and his family and himself and his church and himself.

Wow, I really like that last paragraph. You nailed it!

As a writing teacher, I just love it when somebody can do what you just did.
