Leading GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney cannot stop flaunting his wealth and finds new ways to show how out of touch he is with average Americans. In a speech on Friday in Detroit, Michigan, the city home to the auto industry that he wanted to go bankrupt, he said that his wife Ann drives two Cadillacs. Mitt said he has a Ford Mustang and a Chevy pickup truck. But, in a recent poll, 71% of registered voters believe Romney cannot see the economic realities that average Americans currently face. He lived in Michigan in his youth and his father successfully led this state as its Governor. But, that is meaningless to unemployed workers in Michigan, which has one of the highest rates of unemployment in the country. While someone pursuing the Office of President should be very successful, a man of his wealth ought to do much more in terms of charity or philanthropy than he does in order to connect with people of average income.
