I just read a post that claimed Romney was out of touch like Marie Antoinette. I object.
Yes she was the Queen of France. However, political forces in her day were doing anything they could to bring down the monarchy. Lies about her led to her reputation.
Check into her history to read about the death of her child and tragic life. She was the victim of a high birth that forced her into the role of being a monarch with no choice. She was a pawn married off into another family and different country to help establish peace. She didn't even like to live in the Palace and established a modest residence in the gardens that is she is said to have preferred.
Romney also came from high birth to a degree. Son of an auto executive and Governor of Michigan his early girl friend was a billionaire's daughter and schooling exclusive. However, similarity stops at that point. Romney is someone clamoring to become the leader and striving for the White House. It is the truth about him that established his reputation as someone out of touch and a bully.
Let Marie Antoinette rest peace.
