Mitt Romney... working-class hater..?

Saw Mitt Romney announce on C-SPAN tonight. Lots of platitiudes about America, land o' opportunity. Of course that would be opportunity without decent healthcare, education, and a fair chance at retirement. Mitt sure did seem to understand that these were the primary troubles facing our nation... especially if you happen to work for an auto company on life support. Which makes since, seeing as he was announcing at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. What makes less since are his remarks denouncing the failure of the Welfare State (especially in Europe, where he missionaried for 2.5 years), considering the fair amount of African-Americans in the audience. Of course, since the entire contingent seemed consigned to the back of the crowd, maybe he figured their silence wouldn't matter. And it mightn't have, except for the fact that C-SPAN's camera focused on that segment of the crowd right before Mitt hated on the so-called welfare state. I'd imagine that his people might also be backpedaling from his assertion that, basically, those who hate on globalization and free markets are a bunch of unAmerican pussies. Let's just say I wasn't shocked that that particular applause line flew about as well as a lead balloon. For Christsakes Mitt, this ain't a Toyota preseason NASCAR rally, it's a museum named for THE captain of the American automobile assembly line. One could make the argument that his 5 dollar day led to the entire working class getting a fair shake from industry. Seeing as globalization might well be leading the Ford factory worker to reduced pay and benefits I'm baffled as to why you and your cronies would try to make this phenomena an applause line.
