Don't know much about comedy

Mitt Romney has a personal net worth of something north of $250 million. Visiting a coffee shop in Tampa, Romney told a group of unemployed Floridians that he feels their pain after hearing their stories. He should have stopped there. But attempting to be funny (always a potential minefield for Mitt), Romney confessed that he had a problem, too. "I should tell my story," he said. "I'm also unemployed." Charming. And this from the rich guy who made his fortune as a Gordon Gecko-like takeover artist (he bought bankrupt businesses, fired everyone, and quickly sold them at a profit). One can only imagine the pained eye-rolls of his staff. We need to work on our stand-up comedian skills, Mitt.
