Romney tells homeless to move in with their butlers (satire)

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney stepped into a political pothole during a campaign appearance in Toledo, Ohio on Wednesday when he told a group of homeless protesters they should move in with their servants rather than live on the street.

The protesters, a mix of permanent street dwellers and those who recently lost their homes through foreclosures, confronted Romney as he left a campaign appearance and asked if he had a plan to help them.

“You lost your home? Wow, you have my sympathies. Do your servants have their own homes? Maybe you could live with them?” Romney said to the protesters. “No one wants to have to move in with their butler but these are hard times, my friends. That’s why my I’m running for president, so the upper classes don’t have to associate with those who are beneath them.”
