Americans Losing Jobs is a “Humorous” Story for Mitt Romney

In yet another weak effort to try and connect to the voters, Mitt Romney yesterday told an audience in Wisconsin of a “humorous” story involving his father as he ran for political office. According to Romney, his father shut down a plant in Michigan – ha ha ha. People lost their jobs – lol stop, you’re cracking me up.

Let’s all sit back and enjoy the humor as told by Mittens.

“One of the most humorous I think relates to my father,” Romney said on a conference call with Wisconsin supporters on Wednesday. “You may remember my father, George Romney, was president of an automobile company called American Motors. … They had a factory in Michigan, and they had a factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and another one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

“And as the president of the company he decided to close the factory in Michigan and move all the production to Wisconsin. Now later he decided to run for governor of Michigan, and so you can imagine that having closed the factory and moved all the production to Wisconsin was a very sensitive issue to him, for his campaign.

Romney then said his dad later marched in a parade with a school marching band that only knew the University of Wisconsin fight song, not the University of Michigan’s.

“So every time they would start playing ‘On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin,’ my dad’s political people would jump up and down and try to get them to stop, because they didn’t want people in Michigan to be reminded that my dad had moved production to Wisconsin,” said Romney, laughing.

Way to connect with the average American worker Mittens. Now we know why it was so easy for you to recommend a Detroit bankruptcy as your economic solution to the troubled auto industry.
