"Romney’s problem is that his own wealth insulates him from the realities of so many Americans. His father grew up poor, but he didn’t. He may not have inherited his wealth, but his father was able to give him the foundation educationally, socially, culturally, and economically that allowed him to succeed. His father was, in many ways, a self-made man, but it’s difficult to say the same about Romney. That tone-deafness underlines what has the tinge of a “Freudian slip” to it."
