In case you forgot, yes, Romney is still a tool.

I'm not sure if reading these make me happy or sad, happy that he wasn't elected or sad that such people have power in this world.

On Election Night

"I think at 6:00, I was really worried," Ann Romney said. "By 8:00, I think we knew it was - it wasn't going well."

"We were together," Mitt Romney added. "And I said, boy, the exit polls are not good. And Ann said don't worry, we're going to win. And I said, well, we'll - we'll watch. And the numbers came in and you don't know immediately, because the numbers were close. And you don't know until the last counties are counted."

I don't know if I was watching the same election because the polls leading up to the election weren't close and neither was the election.

On Hurricane Sandy:

"I wish the hurricane hadn't have happened when it did because it gave the president a chance to be presidential and to be out showing sympathy for folks," Romney said, looking at the storm through a political lens. "That's one of the advantages of incumbency. But, you know, you don't look back and worry about each little thing and how could that have been different."

Yes, because if Romney had his choice, Hurricane Sandy wouldn't have happened so he had better chances at being elected.

On Self-Deportation

"It's interesting how the opposition campaign made a big deal of that. Self-deportation is as opposed to government deportation. The government deports people. Now, my view was that people should make their own choice. And so, people say, oh, he's for self-deportation, it sounds very, very, unkind."

So he's defending his stance on letting immigrants go back home as a policy? Don't they have that choice now? Not to mention most people who came here illegally risked their lives to do so and did so for a reason.. etc. Additionally, the only way for this to work is to make America worse than the developing nations many of these immigrants are coming from; which co-incidentally is the GOP slogan. I think.

If there's one thing I can say about this... yes, Romney is still a tool. He's still definitely out of touch. And what Romney is symbolizes the right wing in our country.
