I don't think you guys are fully appreciating this enough...

Ladies and gentlemen, the definition of socially awkward.



P.S. I'm looking for the full video, I heard he keeps going saying he "likes the grass here it's just the right shade for this time of year" and other stuff as well. What a strange weird guy.

Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. The trees are all the right size. I can feel it. My mind is going. I love cars. There is no question about it. I love the little lakes dotting the place. I can feel it. I love whatever state I'm in. I can feel it. I can ...

I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.

I am myself probably a "strange, weird guy" (I'm autistic, diagnosed with Asperger syndrome as an adult) I also wouldn't seek out and would in fact probably run like hell in the other direction from a career in politics or anything else that placed a high emphasis on social ability, but at the same time I don't really see not being naturally gregarious and not having any small talk as things that should bar anyone from serious consideration for the presidency or any other leadership position.

Romney is only awkward when he is trying to ingratiate himself with those not in his class. What I see is a person patronizing his audience.

I'd actually feel sorry for the man.

Love that he's speaking here in MI. The more they hear him the more they will vote for someone else, the more it screws up the primary (even more than it is). I love it!
