Mitt and Ann Romney: hardest working people in America!

[kpete]

Just a few hours after telling reporters the jobs report today was a “kick in the gut” for Americans, Mitt Romney returned to his vacation, driving his high-power speedboat, filled to the brim with his kids and grandkids, to a nearby home for a dip in Lake Winnipesaukee. ABC News

Far be it for Mitt Romney to deny himself a vacation when he’s worked so hard over the years at leveraging and cannibalizing healthy companies, brutalizing American employees, and walking away with all the money. Not to mention the energy it takes to campaign for almost five years straight, lie constantly, reverse your opinions (and then reverse them back!) on anything and everything on an almost daily basis, while trying to convince voters to trust you as you’re fighting to hide your true wealth, tax returns, and offshore accounts from them.

1. He put the dog on the top of the car

and the adult that I think should be watching the children ( even with life jackets ) has his back turned ~ he would rather chat with the adults.

As a parent/grandparent I would tell that fool to keep his eyes on the CHILDREN!!!!!

Seems that the grandparents would have enough smarts to tell him to "watch the Kids, we can talk later!"

2. An evil portent...

The fact that this guy even has a chance of winning speaks volumes about the condition of Our Democracy...

3. I count at least 15 people on that boat.

It's not a very big boat. I wonder what the rules are on Lake Winnepesaukee?

4. Don't be ridiculous. There are only 14.

[Atman]

8. 15

You can just barely see the woman sitting in the port front seat (opposite Rmoney). The reflections in the glass mostly obscure her.

12. Whoopsie. My bad.

6. Boats do have occupancy ratings

Wasn't there a boat accident near Long Island this last week blamed on over loaded boat?

7. rules don't matter to Mitt-

I'm sure you've heard the story about him and his boat?

9. No Mitt, the officer did not agree...he knew you would ruin his life with your lawyers...

"He did not have the right to arrest me because I was not a disorderly person. This was an obvious case of false arrest," Romney said. "The officer obviously agreed because he agreed to dropping the case."

5. I kept hearing about the jet ski

That didn't bother me. I know people who own those. I don't know anyone who owns a boat like that. It probably cost more than most houses in my area.

10. "they've never known want, and

will never know need,

their shit don't stink and their kids won't bleed

their kids won't bleed in the gauddam wars

and we can't make it here anymore"

Thank you Jim McMurtry for "We can't make it here anymore"
it sums up the rmoney/bain capital scheme immensely

11. of course they are ...

[Skidmore]

13. Seriously, how many people are allowed on a boat that size at one time?

There has been such an outcry about that guy who took too many out on his boat on the 4th which sunk and had several of the kids on it drown. Picture just brought it to mind. But then, if there is a law, I'm sure the Mittster doesn't think it applies to him.

14. Romney was arrested in 1981 over a violation of boating law

His boating license wasn't in order and a Park Officer told him not to put his boat in the water. Romney ignored the Officer and put his boat in the lake anyway. He was arrested, handcuffed, and booked.

15. Yeah, put the kids out front to protect the rest of the boat when he crashes.
