Why Mitt Isn't It

A Mitt Romney presidency would greatly worsen America’s moral decline. It is not about his money, but about his moral sense. It is not about his worth, but his views on other people’s worthiness. Not about his inheritance, but his attitude toward the disinherited. Not about his fortune but his inability to identify with the unfortunate. Not about his effects, but his affect. Not about his Mormon religion, but his faith in force against Iran. It is not about his estimated value, but his values.

How can Mitt Romney be the president of all Americans when he has repeatedly demonstrated his inability to identify with the financial and emotional realities of 99% of them? The tell-tale signs of his insulated bubble of wealth and privilege are seen in this purely 1%er’s unconscious slips on the campaign trail.
