Romney Spends Labor Day at Home

By JEREMY W. PETERS

BOSTON — On Monday, the traditional start of the general election campaign, President Obama rallied a crowd of thousands in Toledo, Ohio. Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. drummed up support in Detroit. And Representative Paul D. Ryan, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, spoke to an overflow audience in North Carolina, the state where the Democrats were set to open their national convention this week.

But Mitt Romney lay low at his summer vacation home.

Mr. Romney, who spent the two days after his party’s convention last week campaigning in front of large and enthusiastic crowds in Florida and Ohio, hit the waters of New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee with his wife, Ann, on Monday. He captained a boat; she rode a Sea-Doo water scooter.

The only sighting of Mr. Romney on Monday was when he stopped by a marina in Wolfeboro, N.H., to pick up a Sea-Doo that had been serviced.

According to a pool report provided to other news organizations on Monday, Mr. Romney, wearing a white polo shirt, checkered swim trunks and no shoes, stopped to chat with an NBC News reporter who was renting a boat. “You won’t catch me,” Mr. Romney said playfully.

1. Now we must remember,

Romney is not used to working long hours. He probably delegates the work to others.

2. If he went out today people might expect him to celebrate labor

He can't get caught saying anything nice about workers, the Koch brothers forbid it.

5. Can't have that.

He'd have trouble with his "build that" lie.

7. He probably gaave the kitchen staff an extra dessert,

big pro-worker guy that he is.

8. Let them eat two pieces of cake

3. I heard he was practicing for the debates

4. "summer vacation home"

wow, must be nice being part of the 1%.

No way can this fool relate to the average American.

He's already taking vacations and he hasn't even been elected President yet -- wonder how many he will take if, heaven forbid, he is elected?

6. When he was governor of Massachusetts

he spent more time in Wolfeboro than he did in Boston.

This sorry fool must think he's going to be president from his lakefront mansion.

If you thought Bush 43 was an absentee president, you ain't sen nothin' yet.
