You should know that Mitt Romney considers you a "fool" if you are even considering voting for the policies of President Obama.  That according to a recent political ad here in Minnesota. You would expect that kind of ad from one of his many, well financed, Super PACs but this was authorized by the Romney campaign itself, and endorsed by Mitt Romney.  "You fools"....I bet that will get him a lot of votes!  So, if you are not part of the 47-49% of slackers in the United States, you may be in the 50% of fools who are still considering who to vote for on Tuesday, or who have already decided to vote for President Obama.
