Rich Folks to Mitt Romney: The common person don't get it


During the Romney's super rich fundraiser in the Hamptons, Mittens got some interesting feedback from his supporters.

LA Times reports:

A money manager in a green Jeep said it was time for Romney to "up his game and be more reactive." So far, said the donor (who would not give his name because he said it would hurt his business), Romney has had a "very timid offense."

A New York City donor a few cars back, who also would not give her name, said Romney needed to do a better job connecting. "I don't think the common person is getting it," she said from the passenger seat of a Range Rover stamped with East Hampton beach permits. "Nobody understands why Obama is hurting them.

"We've got the message," she added. "But my college kid, the baby sitters, the nails ladies -- everybody who's got the right to vote -- they don't understand what's going on. I just think if you're lower income -- one, you're not as educated, two, they don't understand how it works, they don't understand how the systems work, they don't understand the impact."
I love how some of them won't give their names because it will hurt their businesses.

"Common" people?
Oh, those who don't drive their Range Rovers to the Hamptons every weekend.

That's Mittsy's base.

What the donor really means is that the "common people" are not sufficiently brainwashed. This donor doesn't understand the meaning of the word "educated."
