(27,630 posts)He never needs to even see the "real streets of America" if he so chooses. He can afford a chauffeur to whisk him away to the elitest of the elite places. He was always well-to-do starting as a child, thanks to his dad.
But then, here we go with semantics. "Real streets of America" include the fanciest and wealthiest places, gated communities, extravagant resorts, etc. They exist so they are real. He's not technically lying.

(47,675 posts)He'd soil his pants. I've walked through there (and all of the "rough neighborhoods" in Harrisburg) and never had a problem because nobody there has a grief to settle with me. They may not with him either, but the trail of crap he'd drop out of his pants legs onto the sidewalks would violate city ordinances for "cleaning up after your dogs."
Hypothetical exchange on the street....
Romney: So, just how many millions do you make each year?
Average Citizen: Say what?
Romney: Well, that's just poverty level income. You look like someone who could be a successful white guy like me. I want your vote.
Average Citizen: Fuck off man.
Me: Dude, chill out - he's just a clueless Republican.
Average Citizen: Fuck that. The closest whore house is two doors over. Send the shithead over there with his money.
Me: Yo, Romney - pussy factory two blocks over on the left. Look for the red light. So, dude, can I buy you a beer?
Average Citizen: Nah, man, I gotta go to work. They do piss tests all the time. And look at that asshole runnin' down the street toward the bar.
Me: I forgot to mention that it was a gay bar, not the whore house.
Average Citizen: You are bad, man, like REALLY bad.
Me: Somebody has to be.
Average Citizen: What the HELL was that scream all about?
Me: Mittens found at least ONE of the houses.

(45 posts)Mittens is the poster boy/whore for Wall Street. He never has to worry about choosing between food and medicine. He never has to choose between lights and house payments.
He should be (accurately) painted as such.
