I just heard the clip on MSNBC.

You can't make this shit up, folks. He's got to be the single most tone-deaf prick to come down the pike in a LONG time.

Bain money, investments, tax shelters. As they said on MSNBC today, his work since 2008 has basically been "preparing for a run for President." Oh, and those speaking engagements that "don't pay much" ($375,000).

How out of touch can a person be? He is clueless about what real working people have to live on to get by.
