Rising Hegemon
“I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Michelle wasn’t..."So remember no silver spoon's available in that madrassa.
But silver-spoon emanated Mitt Romney was ready with his most pithy reply:
Damn straight, during a recession a person should be more focused on pursuits with a more common touch:
“She [Ann Romney] has Austrian Warmbloods, which are – yeah, it’s a dressage horse, it’s a kind of horse for the sport that she’s in. Me, I have a Missouri Fox Trotter. So mine is like a quarter horse, but just a much better gait. It moves very fast, and doesn’t tire, and it’s easy to ride, meaning it’s not boom-boom-boom, it’s just smooth, very smooth.”But Mitt is making sacrifices:
The World Cup finals for the elite sport of dancing horses, known as dressage, opened today in the Netherlands without the presence of two of its most prominent wealthy devotees, Mitt and Ann Romney. The Romneys' horse, Rafalca, will compete, however, performing to music personally selected by the Republican presidential candidate.That's not losing focus on the important things in these difficult times.
Keep up the high-brow fellas.

Ah, well, at this point, it's one millionaire dissing another millionaire, so "silver spoon" japes are less effective.
Besides, "silver spoon" just doesn't have the immediate impact of Ann Richards saying that GHWB was born "with a silver foot in his mouth."
Come November, Mitt will get the boom, boom, boom.
I heard a rumor the Obama is having an elevator built to get his golf cart to all levels of the Whitehouse and a sub-surface tunnel to his favorite Chicago golfing establishment. At a cost of 10 Billio....100 Trillion Bizilion tax payer dollars.
And, by "heard a rumor," I mean starting a rumor.

Come November, Mitt will get the boom, boom, boom.
