... The latest: Over the weekend, the Republican presidential candidate compared California to a failing European nation. And this was during a trip to ... Beverly Hills and San Diego to beg rich people for campaign cash:


At the Grand Del Mar Hotel in San Diego's Carmel Valley on Saturday he said Obama's economic policies were making the rest of the United States more like the place where he was hanging out with his hand out:

It's a pathway to become like Europe. And Europe doesn't work there. It's never going to work here.

It's even possible we could be on a pathway to become California. I don't want that to happen either.

California represents 13 percent of the GDP of the US.

4. Before Bush

California was the 5th largest economy in the world.

2. It's like anything that goes through his brain comes out his mouth.

It's strange, it makes you wonder how he got this far out in the real world.
