How Smart is Mitt Romney Really?

In my opinion Mitt Romney is not as smart as the average person that runs for president. He wanted to open windows on airplanes. I think that is not a great idea. He wanted to do this for a reason that I don’t know. I don’t think that anyone knows the reason. Good thing that he didn’t win the presidential election, that would’ve sucked for everyone. The thing is if he didn’t win,  I don’t think that anyone would want to ride on that plane. I know for a fact that I would never ever want to do that. And I am pretty sure that anyone that was sensible would agree with me, Marlowe, Jack and Gus. I can tell for a fact that they are smarter than Mitt Romney in many ways.

 

According to the Los Angeles Post, while campaigning for President,  speaking about his wife’s airplane accident, Romney said, “‘I appreciated the fact that she is on the ground, safe and sound,’ he said, ‘And I don’t think she knows just how worried some of us were. When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she’s safe and sound.’ I know, it sounds stupid. And I agree with you if you think that. He literally said,  “You can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous.”

 

Yes, I see his reason for this, he doesn’t want people to get killed and if he would have listened in physics class he might have gotten elected. He had other dumb ideas like to put your pet on the top of your car. What do you think he would’ve thought of next? This is what Alexandra Petri came up with:

“It would be so much easier to get people out of wrecks if it weren’t for those durned seat belts they have in cars now. I don’t know why they have them.”

“They should make it easier for you to use a hair dryer in the bathtub.”

“Why do we need so many stoplights? I’m serious, now. They take up so much space and they’re so easy to walk into when you aren’t paying attention.”

“Forget airplanes. Why can’t you open the windows on a space shuttle? This is America.”

Yes it’s america but we can’t open windows on a spaceship, that’s ridiculous. There is no oxygen in space.

What I hate about NYC

1: I hate that all of the tourists think that NYC is so great but, it’s really boring if you have lived there for 11 years because by then you’ve seen almost everything and there aren’t many new and interesting things to go and see.

 

2: I hate the subway. There are all of these little boxes that have stairs going down them and they are so unsanitary, they are filled with rats and the whole deal. It is gross!

3: I hate the winter. I hate the winter in New York City because it is always so cold that it’s about to snow but not quite cold enough and when it does it doesn’t stick to the ground. And on the rare occasion that it does snow they are always shoveling up and the snow gets all brown and disgusting.

4: People who are just loud and obnoxious. It is just annoying when you are trying to focus and when I get a phone it’s going to be annoying when I try to make a call that is important.
