52. what he knows

Tue Sep 25, 2012, 02:30 PM

Sep 2012

I am very concerned about the complete lack of campaigning in public by Mitt Romney. I humbly submit that others also should be concerned. I have never seen anything like it in all my years. He's behind in the polls and disappears? What does he know that we don't?

I thought he knew what we knew that everytime he opened his mouth he stuck both feet in it....so he decided to lay low.
