Mitt Romney-The Wooden boy who wishes he was a real man...

From Meet The Press this morning -

GREGORY: As a candidate now when was the last time you really got to spend some-- some quality time with somebody who is out of work and what did you get from them?

MR. ROMNEY: Well, actually, just last night it was I was with a person who is facing some challenge. We spent some time together and shared our personal experiences in an effort on my part to point out that we can make it through tough times. Look, that’s part of everyday life for mo-- most people. You have friends and you have acquaintances that have challenges and you talk about them.

----------------------

This is the most empty statement I've ever heard. There's absolutely no soul in this man.

Who was this "person?" Since he believes corporations are people, it is suspectful that it was actually a real live people person. Ever see a politician who didn"t describe WHO the regular people were/are that they talk one-on-one to? The man was lying - it wasn"t a "person."

I don't think Mitt would sully himself by speaking with the unemployed.
