In the last day or two we've gotten a taste of Mitty Romney's sense of humor. He started by telling us that he "enjoyed" being able to fire people whose services didn't meet his needs (he was discussing health care). Romney was half-smiling, being daring. Many of us have changed doctors or dentists at one time or another, of course, but how many of us actually "enjoy" firing people? How oblivious do you have to be in order to take pleasure in crushing care providers?
In Romney's circle everyone who counts is rich. They might get his jokes. (Romney ranks as about the 3,000th richest person in the USA.)
For his next joke, Romney told us that during his senate campaign against Ted Kennedy, he spent so much money that he forced Kennedy to raise opposition money by mortgaging his house. That anecdote, a real knee slapper, was meant to endear Romney to the Republican primary voters by mocking the departed Massachusetts liberal.
Have we ever seen a major Presidential candidate with less ability to relate to voters with ordinary incomes?
