Mitt Romney visits Disneyland today...

“Public figures usually go to Disneyland when they win.
Not Mitt Romney.
Just two weeks after losing the election, the once presidential hopeful visited the Happiest Place on Earth in Anaheim, according to reports on social media.”…

It looks like he wore the same shirt that he had on at the gas station.
What a maroon!

I'm thankful that President Obama has been re-elected...I don't need to wish further ill on the man he defeated. Let him be a grandpa and have fun, and be thankful that we don't have to watch his inauguration in January.

doesn't have to pretend to be astute looking with all that makeup and spray on tan anymore... Look at how disheveled he is in the gas station picture. The only thing that surprises me is that he actually pumped his own gas and not some lackey doing it for him... oh yeah, he probably fired them all on election night when he canceled their credit cards. In SoCal, I don't think there is anything but self serve anymore. I hope he doesn't still have a secret service detail at our expense.

There was a point, early in his first term, where I had an opportunity to be in the SES under bu$h... I just couldn't do it. Was totally against my moral fiber. And a lot of the SES corps resigned shortly after he took office. I can also imagine that the R$ SS detail were thinking they'd dodged a mortar sized bullet that night...

I can't imagine having that many people genuinely despising me like that.

(I think there should be an "ewwe" as in cringe face)

Seriously, can you gain enough weight in two weeks to make your face look wider?

No disrespect for Disneyland saying that.

It looks like he is not wearing his Mormon Garmies (Temple Garb), he has stopped using Grecian 2000 or whatever other hair darkener he prefers and, like Gately said above, he looks like he has packed on the pounds or, more likely, stopped wearing his corset.

Don't like the guy as a politician, but is he really a "maroon" for wearing the same shirt the entire day? Even if it was the same shirt a few days earlier, is that so bad?
