Mitt Romney Can't Help It If His Friends Are Rich, Too

You know what Mitt Romney's biggest problem is?

He just can't help the fact that he's Mitt Romney.

Forget how much he likes to fire people. Forget that he doesn't care for the "very poor." Forget even that he's so supportive of the American auto industry that he owns four cars -- two of them Cadillacs.

This is just priceless. On a Sunday trip to Daytona before the race, Romney was asked whether he was a big follower of NASCAR (hopefully soon to be Florida's official state sport, by the way.)

"Not as closely as some of the most ardent fans," he said. "But I have some friends who are NASCAR team owners."

Isn't that beautiful? He has friends who are team owners.

And I know a guy whose brother owns a half of a share in the Green Bay Packers.
