 The vibes she's been sensing turned out to be the tremors of Romney's campaign finally dealing with gravity while denying its existence at the same time. It's gotta hurt! This lady needs to eat a truckload of crow.

Mitt Romney's Bailout Bonanza | The Nation

Mitt Romney's Bailout Bonanza | The Nation

Mitt Romney’s opposition to the auto bailout has haunted him on the campaign trail, especially in Rust Belt states like Ohio. There, in September, the Obama campaign launched television ads blasting Romney’s November 2008 New York Times op-ed, “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.” But Romney has done a good job of concealing, until now, the fact that he and his wife, Ann, personally gained at least $15.3 million from the bailout—and a few of Romney’s most important Wall Street donors made more than $4 billion. Their gains, and the Romneys’, were astronomical—more than 3,000 percent on their investment.

Rage against the machine

There is this classical  definition of insanity,  that is, to expect different result while doing the same thing.    From what Romney  allows the public to see,  his economic  vision is  a steroid enhanced  version  G.W Bush's.     Maybe  he  hopes  that there  are enough insane  voters   think  that this time the outcome will be different.  Or maybe he's hiding the details because   if people took a serious look at them    they would freak out.      Romney seems intelligent enough   to make me believe  that he   is a  demagogue  in the sense of  Mencken, i.e.,  one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.  The dunces that voted for W the second time    have short memories and may be buying   the nicely packaged  lotta nothing  Romney is selling.
