He was speaking yesterday about his anxieties he felt as his wife Ann was a passenger in a plane forced to land because of an electrical fire:

“I appreciate the fact that she is on the ground, safe and sound. And I don’t think she knows just how worried some of us were,” Romney said. “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 guess that makes you just another sucker for the Leftist Press in the USA.
Romney was speaking to people who have said that he was clearly joking...

Your call...

Dont use irony or sarcasm in the us....it doesnt translate well, and if you are a presidential candidate, be very careful that what you are saying cant be misinterpreted.

Come on let's face it. Romney resembles an escaped mannequin from Disney's Hall of Wanabee Presidents.
