I would never presume that I'm presidential material…

Frankly, I know for a fact that I'm not fit for any elected office at all, that even goes for dog catcher.
However, I've never had the benefit of being a rich white guy who's the son of a rich white guy, and I didn't grow up being a creature of abject privilege, someone who only thinks of himself, without the willingness to work for the benefit of others.
I do, on the other hand, recognize the problem with someone like that obtaining elective office.
Romney was born in Detroit's Harper Hospital, as I was born in Herman Kiefer Hospital, just a few short miles away. But, unlike most other people born in inner city hospitals like we were, his formative years were coddled in the monied confines of Bloomfield Hills. Now, if you know anything about this area, then you would know that Bloomfield Hills contains one of the highest concentrations of rich, privileged white assholes this side of Hell… Michigan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell,_Michigan.
He was given the best that this country had to offer, the best schools and opportunities, all because of who he was born to and where he was raised.
Somehow, he got it inside of his empty head that all of this shit makes him fit to be president. He was lied to and was too fucking stupid to see that lie for himself. He never will see it. I suspect that he'll go to his grave thinking that he deserved to be president and was unfairly kept from office. If someone had ever told me that I could be president, I'd tell them to go fuck themselves.
Now, I'm going to tell you an observation I've had about Mitt that I think should be obvious to anyone reading this. Mitt Romney's chief character flaw; that as long as it's something that could be used to inflate his already gargantuan ego, he would swallow ANY bullshit that's fed to him. This very aspect of his personality is the single most important factor as to why he should never become president. I think that in the backs of most other voter's minds, they recognize that in him as well. It makes him completely inadequate for the job.
Which begs to question as to how he's found himself as his party's presumptive nominee in the first place. A Romney nomination makes absolutely no sense at all. Apparently, Mitt's only qualifications for elective office are based on two things; his unabashed willingness to lie and pander for votes and his ability to hoard a crap load of money from his halcyon days as a vulture capitalist. Money made on the rotting bones of lost American businesses and jobs.
As a politician, he is by far, the MOST incompetent campaigner I've EVER seen in my fifty short years on this planet. He doesn't take advice, he fails to research his audiences, he knows nothing about the lives of ordinary people, he takes stands that most normal people find reprehensible, his moral compass is haywire, he lies when it would to his advantage to tell the truth and blurts out factual items that would cause him political harm, he's utterly failed to prepare his financial records for the scrutiny that would be expected by any other politician running for ANY office, he's smug, arrogant, obtuse, intellectually lazy, supremely privileged and about as useful as tits on a bicycle.
In other words, he's the ultimate in Bloomfield Hills rich, white asshole technology. All of this points to the indisputable fact that the Republican Party, as we know it today, is completely hosed as an organization for allowing this bean bag to matriculate to the position of nominee.
I have no idea how or why this guy thinks that he's fit to be President of the United States. However, I don't blame him as much as I blame all of the people walking around in this country who knows ANYTHING about this guy and they also feel that he's fit to be President. I blame the broken behemoth known as the Republican Party and the media hacks who know better, yet who steadfastly refuse to admit to the truth.
Are they fucking nuts? Couldn't they buy a fucking clue after his laughable foreign country fiasco?
Say what you will about Richard "Tricky" Nixon, at least that underhanded, paranoid motherfucker was QUALIFIED for the job.
I wouldn't hire Mitt to wash dishes.
Of course Mitt picked a lame, self-obssessed, brown-noser dipshit, like Paul Ryan as his running mate. He's a son of privilege too, rich from his inheritance and ability to inside trade from his position in the Gubmint to keep himself rolling in greenbacks. These two know-nothing assholes are two peas in a gilded pod. Why didn't I figure that out to begin with? Who knows, I guess I made the mistake of thinking that Mittens wouldn't pick some guy who would have the instant cumulative effect of tossing the election, even BEFORE the national convention.
Silly me, what do I know? I guess that I forgot that Mitt is utterly in-com-pe-tent!
In spite of the efforts of state house Republicans to steal this election, I am confident that the President will win by a landslide in November.
Everyone hasn't heard of Bloomfield Hills, but most people know an incompetent, privileged asshole when they see one.
The people who recognized a person like that will always vote for the other guy instead.
Thank any non-specific mythical deity.
= new reply since forum marked as read
I'm bookmarking your OP and with your permission would love to send it to the repukes in my life who are priviledged enough, not to the degree of Mitt but, like Mitt in that the priviledge was not of their making. Love this!
