(CBS News) -- What does a guy who just lost a presidential election do in the weeks after ending a long, hard-fought campaign? In Mitt Romney's case, it seems he's trying to move on and enjoy his newfound downtime.

Yesterday, Romney posted on his official Facebook page a photo of himself and his wife, Ann Romney, in which he looks more the part of a guy on vacation and less like the buttoned-up businessman/presidential candidate the public saw during the campaign.

The photo features Romney, hair tousled and t-shirt clad, hugging Ann Romney with the caption, "Hope everyone had a great Thanskgiving! Much to be thankful for this year."

On Tuesday, Romney and his brood were spotted at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., by dozens of people who posted pictures and comments on Twitter.

[WinkyDink]

1. I think he DOES look genuinely happy (even relieved?) there.

[Cirque du So-What]

3. That makes two of us

I'm genuinely happy - and, yes, relieved - that he's puttering around one of his kitchens instead of putting together a cabinet.

[Coyotl]

30. I'm so happy they have a walk-in refrigerator

Damn, that thing is big

[Hayabusa]

36. I'm glad the only cabinet he gets to put together...

would be an actual cabinet.

The photo's weird. He looks so human...

[shireen]

61. lol! I was thinking the same.

He really does look so human.

[WinkyDink]

37. His loss was a win-win! :-)

[pnwmom]

80. She's not snuggling. She's being half-strangled.

But she's trying to be a good sport about it.

[HiPointDem]

19. yeah, it's a nice picture & looks relatively unstaged. i don't see the point in

posting it, even. who *cares* about mitt romney now?

[WinkyDink]

38. Don't look at me!

[HiPointDem]

43. no, i wasn't. just my two cents.

[shireen]

62. i'm guessing the people left on his FB page care ... nt

[HiPointDem]

64. doubt there are many who post at du.

[The Wielding Truth]

23. Yea, He looks like he just dodged a horrible situation. He does look relieved.

[ecstatic]

79. hate to sound mean...

but he still has an "unhinged" look, IMO. And Ann looks depressed. Fake/forced smiles. I hope they get over it soon.

[Incitatus]

2. pumping his own gas, going to Disney, hanging out with his wife in the kitchen

Is he trying to change his image and look more normal for a bid in 2016?

[ProSense]

7. "In an attempt to overcome the image...

In an attempt to overcome the image that had damaged him in the 1994 Senate race – that of a wealthy corporate buyout specialist out of touch with the needs of regular people – the campaign staged a series of "work days", in which Romney performed blue-collar jobs such as herding cows and baling hay, unloading a fishing boat, and hauling garbage.[175][177][178] Television ads highlighting the effort, as well as one portraying his family in gushing terms and showing him shirtless,[177] received a poor public response and were a factor in his Democratic opponent, Massachusetts State Treasurer Shannon O'Brien, leading in the polls as late as mid-October.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_Romney#2002_gubernatorial_campaign

It's this loser's perpetual con job.

[onecent]

83. It won't help!!!

[OKNancy]

4. He does look happy.

and should I say it? They look like they just had a good time.. you know...
LOL - I can't, I just can't.

[madinmaryland]

8. Dammit. You just had to go there, didn't you!

[WinkyDink]

39. They ain't dead yet, as the saying goes.

[madinmaryland]

45. Just for that...

[jmowreader]

65. Asshole

Gordon Liddy in a Speedo will keep me up all night.

[Pool Hall Ace]

84. alerting

[FirstLight]

12. *snort!*

I hate to say it, but without reading anything but the line "what has Mitt been up to?"

I thought ...that looks like breakfast snuggles in *my* house after a nice long night.... :zoinks!:

so that's where they have been for the last 2 weeks!

[Arugula Latte]

17. The magic undies did their job, apparently.

[ProSense]

5. Mitt is a calculating asshole

This looks like the "doing laundry" photo. He appears to want to convince the idiots who voted for him that he is really, after all, now that it's over...a regular guy. Of course, he's the regular guy who continues to diss more than half the country, you know, the recipients of President Obama's "gifts."

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. You are SO right. Nothing is real - so do not be fooled and stop here. I know you are

right because just had TG with my wingnut FIL....He went on and on about how much he admired MR. And, "He is the finest, probably the finest man to ever run for president. It's such a shame he lost to Obama who is a liar and all he did was lie over and over till he tricked everyone into voting for him." Gag. I just looked at him a laughed.

All I have got to hope for is that Romney keeps his promise and never runs again.

[Botany]

52. totally staged photo ...... (at least to me) .....

..... thankfully Mitt and Ann can move on a live the good life off of
all that money Mitt made screwing working people out of their jobs,
health care, and pensions.

BTW Queen Ann seems really pissed off.

[Turbineguy]

6. Good! He should relax and enjoy

all those other people's retirements.

[Snotcicles]

9. Looks like he's coming off a binge, to me. nt

[malaise]

10. It's a response to this fabulous photo - what an epic fail

[renate]

47. oh my gosh, you're right!

Nice catch!

[sheshe2]

51. Yup an epic fail! Thank God!

[url=http://postimage.org/image/ko9ewgvl9/][img][/img][/url]
The Winner!

[url=http://postimage.org/image/6j3lunmjx/][img][/img][/url]
The Idiot that Lost!

[malaise]

68. You're cracking me up

[sheshe2]

91. That's what I was aiming for!

[femmocrat]

11. I think he looks drunk and trying to lure her into the bedroom.

She looks like she is just putting up with him for the camera.

[dflprincess]

13. I think the meds kicked in

and Ann doesn't look all that thrilled. There's an "Oh shit" vibe to the look on her face.

[elfin]

14. He looks creepily manic - she looks TRAPPED in Mitt Hell

"PLEASE, get him OFF OFF of me! Anyone? Omigod, the rest of my LIFE? Damn you Obama."

[DakotaLady]

40. We are on the same page ...

I thought the very same she just looks uncomfortable.

I'll bet he is a real piece of work to live with 24/7.

[hibbing]

42. I agree..creepy

Hey,
I don't know what it is about the guy, but he really creeps me out, and this picture does so also.

Peace

[bluestate10]

15. I want that fucking guy to vanish into the sunset as quickly as possible. The eternal fucking

fascination of some on DU with Romney won't let that happen soon enough.

[tarheelsunc]

16. Campaign's over, Mitt. Stop trying so hard to look like an average Joe.

[hlthe2b]

18. Meow.. I will be the "catty" one... First, does he ever shower and comb his hair now?

and second, does no one want to comment on how gawd-awful ugly that kitchen is? It looks like white appliances thrown up against cinderblock...


ok, that is out of my system and I feel much better. May these two lovebirds sink into much deserved obscurity....

[cilla4progress]

21. I know - that was my 1st reaction!

Hideous bland kitchen! Like something a robot would have! Wait a minute ...

I always contended Mitt didn't actually want to be Pres.; goes without saying about Ann.

He just wanted to notch his belt for Repub candidate.

I mean, miserable campaign he waged; obviously he didn't actually believe in his gut he would win?

Wait a minute - I get it: "W-I-N-N-I-N-G!"

[mchill]

78. I would assume this is the house that is yet to be remodeled

So what I found was curious, yes, the cabinets look almost Ikea circa 1990, but yet the counters are some sort of granite or engineered stone and the backsplash tile is very current (and not low end). So, probably, to please Ann, until the wall bashing could happen, Mitt let her spend about $10K on counters and backsplash in the interim.

[Angry Dragon]

26. I also thought that is an ugly kitchen

[Aerows]

48. And what's with

All the fruit piled up in the corner in bags? Have they never heard of putting things away?

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

66. Here's another view:

Everything's way over-sized.

But don't forget, they're planning to tear that shack down

and build something more palatial to suit Queen Ann.

http://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/celebrity-homes/mitt-romneys-beach-home-plans-tear-quadruple-size/#!/mitt-romney-living-room_88/

[hlthe2b]

70. Where is the grey backsplash that looks like cinderblock in the original picture?

I still think it is ugly, but that view with them in the photo is horrendous.

[rocktivity]

20. They're smiling

but they don't look happy.

And that kitchen looks supiciously small, too. Are they hiding out in someone's guest house?


rocktivity

[JSK]

22. It's not small

They are obviously standing at the center island. That's a giant Subzero fridge behind them and what looks like a huge oven to the right of the fridge. But it is definitely ug-LEE.

[zbdent]

24. Her smile says "yes ... okay"

but her eyes say "help me ... help me ..."

[SmileyRose]

27. staged

Yeah don't we all just happen to have a photographer there while we putter in the kitchen.

Ann Romney cooking.....snicker

[Coyotl]

28. OMG, he's already running again!

Can't take a hint, still thinks the Lord is right and the people were not ready yet

[diabeticman]

29. My wife always had a theory that Mitt himself didn't want to win. He figured he'd do his thing

during the Primary and expected to not win.


He probably is breathing a huge sigh of relief.

If you look at Ann's eyes she's the one who seems to still be upset at the lose.

[NJCher]

31. how the hell

do you get a Subzero refrigerator to look like some cheap ass particle board Ikea cabinet?

Only Mitt Romney could pull that off.


Cher

[Blue Owl]

32. He has become the binder

n/t

[BeyondGeography]

33. Two totally different vibes there

I wish they'd just work it out in private.

[hrmjustin]

34. I hope they are happy and I am drilled he is not going to be my president.

[madrchsod]

35. he looks half way human......

[Warpy]

41. She's much prettier without makeup

I honestly don't care what they're doing as long as they stop preying on the working class to get richer and they stay out of public office, elected or appointed.

[jmowreader]

77. You can't tell from that picture, tho

Both of them have about an hour's worth on. And their hair was professionally mussed in a procedure lasting twenty minutes at least...and the wardrobe stylists...and the set designer hired to give the place that perfect "just got back from the store" look...

Oh, and Mitt? No one's kitchen is really lit that well.

I see the fakery continues. Very few people would have a $2500 professional location photo shot then try to pass it off as a casual snap.

[Politicub]

44. He looks hung over

What a weird photo to choose to post.

[Liberal_in_LA]

46. no amount of post-loss snuggling will wipe out those race baiting welfare ads he ran against Obama

[Skip Intro]

49. Seems like a nice pic to me.

I don't begrudge anyone happiness. And I don't hold a seething hatred for political opponents. I hope they had a nice holiday and I wish them all the best, as I do for everyone.

[catbyte]

59. You must be a man, Skip. I have seen the look that Ann has on her face before & it's

"Oh, God, somebody help me. Get this thing off my back. Now I'll NEVER get him out of the house."

That ain't "nice", that's quiet desperation.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

67. It's not just that. There's something creepy in the way he looks at her a lot of the time.

I love it when a man looks at his women admiringly, but he looks at her with a kind of simpering look. He gazes at her like she's his mommy and/or like he's about to burst into tears or something. Granted, it could just be that I have a negative opinion of them anyway, but just look at a few examples:

[catbyte]

72. Ewwww, you're right. That man is creepy beyond belief.

[noamnety]

50. Moments after the photo was taken

Paul Ryan showed up to do their dishes.

[LuckyStrykes]

53. Looks like she has a monkey on her back

He looks like he is on meds, and she looks strained.

[flamingdem]

54. I'm supposed to react positively to this picture after the SHIT Rmoney spewed?

No thanks. I don't know what they're trying to sell here but I'm not buying.

So they had every hair in place and tried to project a certain image and now that goes to shit, with what purpose? As usual no rhyme or reason but what has always been there is superiority, priviledge and not giving a shit about other Americans.

They can rot.

[tavernier]

55. Staged.

Conversation after the photo shoot:

M - Alright now, how do we get back to the main wing of the house? Do we turn left at the billiard room or right at the bowling alley?

A - It's up the stairs, darling. Past the servant's quarters. Honest mistake... I don't think you've ever been down here before.

M - *incredulous* And you have??

A - Why yes. I have to speak with Cook and Jeeves daily. How do you think anything gets done around here?

M - Oh my darling, always slaving away. The help should pay you.

A - Come dear. The photographer is waiting for you in the garage. He wants to get a picture of you checking the oil in the pick up truck.

M - Oh, that's right! Now do you suppose I will have to crawl underneath the vehicle to do that?

[LuvLoogie]

56. This is the kitchen in Tagg's basement,...

...the one where Mitt claimed residency when he voted in Mass. in 2010. He is trying to establish presence. He will even show you all of his mail back to November of this year as supporting evidence. I mean doesn't that kitchen look so lived in? Ann sure knows her way around a virgin stainless tureen. I guess you can cook in it.

Relax, Mitt. Nobody in the DOJ has the time or the guts to go after you.

[Mr.Bill]

57. Fuck You, Mitt.

Just fuck you.

[cecilfirefox]

58. They look so happy! ;) nt

[Gabi Hayes]

60. zat the angel Moroni-induced JFL?

and is she showing her magic undie top beneath that black thingy?

[aletier_v]

63. We change the world now.... not Mitt.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

69. Speaking of Queen Ann, where's the magic undergarments?

They're meant to cover up just the sort of flesh flashing we see here:

[TheCowsCameHome]

71. Sweet. They've become part of Sheldon Adelson's kitchen staff.

Working off $100 mil could take a while

[Spirochete]

73. lol. "so, Mr. Romney

now that you've blown the better part of half a billion dollars of the right wing's money, losing a presidential election that was way far from close, what are your plans?"

"I'm going to Disneyland"

[lunatica]

74. Frankly, I don't give a rats ass

They're still vultures. Only there they look like they gorged themselves into semi-torpitude.

[Shankapotomus]

75. Well, I guess they had to release a

proof of life photo...You know, so everyone knows they're still alive and all.

[yurbud]

76. Romney looks like an unemployed guy who just woke up and is surprised his wife hasn't left him

[agent46]

81. Good news fans!

The antipsychotics are kicking in.

[cynatnite]

82. Who cares?

Seriously, why should anyone care? He lost and he's home with family at Thanksgiving. What is the big deal in that? Most folks are.

So, I don't care what Rmoney does and no one else here at DU should either. These type of postings really have no place here.

Rmoney is old news.

[tanyev]

85. Mitt not only lost the election, he seems to have lost his tube of Brylcream.

[Initech]

86. I really think Ann wanted to be first lady more than Mitt wanted to be president.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

87. Agreed...

...with Mitt, it seemed like a guy who was "legacy building," but I don't think he really wanted to do the work that came with the job. Ann, on the other hand, seemed primed to stand in the spotlight for four years. Oh well...life is what happens when you're making other plans.

[Initech]

88. Yeah Ann is definitely a status queen. And what greater status could be reached for a house wife?

Oh well! So much for that!!

[tinrobot]

89. The more happy people in this world, the better.

Good for them...

[LeftInTX]

90. Bob Dole was his Thanksgiving guest

And she is wondering if he had an OD
