More GOP Hard Times...


During the next year or so, watch all the functionaries of the American Taliban run crying to Barack Obama, "Please help us, Barack! Has anyone noticed there's a bad economy???? I'm not as rich as I was! Is anyone paying attention??? Help us save our humble abodes!!!!!"

Mitt Romney is the latest to have the anvil of reality drop on his head, and is looking to unload two of his mansions (mansi?).

Just the little ones, mind you. Gee, what a trooper. One of those now on the market is in his former quasi-home state of Massachusetts (worth $3.5 million before the market tanked).



Another, a tiny petite cabin, a lean-to maybe, on the ski slopes of Utah is priced to move at $4 million, down from $5 million.

Maybe even Mitt couldn't stand to hang out in such a still-Red State.





























In any event, showing that Mitt Still Believes In America, he's steadfastly holding onto the slightly bigger domiciles, which curiously also happen to be in states that would be heavily contested in 2012.

This one is in New Hampshire (worth $10 million), Mitt has been quoted as being thrilled to hear the sounds of the lake water through their bedroom window.













Romney also has shown the courage to hang onto their brand new digs in La Jolla, California (worth $12 million).

Just to show he still has hope!


That all of home-owning America has hope!


What a leader that Mitt is!










Now, if that Barack guy can just bail us all out now...

Here's a calculator to help you get a clearer picture of just how you'd make out under Obama's tax plan, rather than just extending the Bush tax cuts which is all that McCain is proposing.




Stop the heartbreak of catalog glut.
