President 2012: Mitt Romney Says He is Unemployed Too

I think Mitt should stay away from the jokes.

Mitt Romney sat at the head of the table at a coffee shop here on Thursday, listening to a group of unemployed Floridians explain the challenges of looking for work. When they finished, he weighed in with a predicament of his own.

“I should tell my story,” Mr. Romney said. “I’m also unemployed.”

He chuckled. The eight people gathered around him, who had just finished talking about strategies of finding employment in a slow-to-recover economy, joined him in laughter.

You know, Mitt is just awkward in mingling with regular voters. He probably should avoid the chit chat and the joking type banter.

Remember this from 2008?
