Democrats: Romney’s “joke” not funny

Republican Mitt Romney drew criticism from Democrats when he told an audience in Florida that he, too, is unemployed. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who chairs the Democratic National Committee, says the multimillionaire’s comments indicate he’s out of touch with voters.



         Mitt’s Wit

Mitt says he was joking
About being unemployed,
And wonders why opponents
Appear to be annoyed.

Democrats aren’t laughing
And feel his “joke” as such
Shows the multimillionaire
Is simply out of touch.

Florida’s Debbie Schultz, for one,
Sees his comment as a gaffe.
She says that being out of work
Should hardly make one laugh.
