Romney has not walked in those shoes of the ordinary Americans and frankly I don't think he has the capacity to quite understand the struggle that the 98 percent of Americans go through every single day.”
“The city of Cork - the urban center, where all the shops and bars and everything are - is actually an island, a river island.”
