Mitt Romney's Bankruptcy (A Political Fable)

Now that president Obama has clearly painted Mitt Romney as out of touch with ordinary Americans something dramatic needs to be done to change the course of events in this race. Something that will show the American people that Mitt is one of them. Most are calling for a game changer or a knockout blow in the debates. I have another idea. This will most likely not happen and I do not wish this upon anyone. But for the sake of satire I will give it a go. Mitt Romney needs to lose it all. The houses, the investments... everything.


Mitt Romney Claims Bankruptcy

Oct. 3 2012 - In a shocking development just hours before the first presidential debate, former governor Mitt Romney has filed paperwork to claim chapter 7 bankruptcy. Despite the recent release of his 2011 taxes showing an income for $14 million Romney has seemed to have lost it all. While meeting the press earlier today Romney explained the situation in detail. "I bet on America, I put my hard earned money in the hands of good hard working people. The products just didn't pan out. We have been under constant pressure due to regulations that the Obama administration has imposed on us."  When asked how this will affect the presidential race Romney stayed positive. "At the beginning of this campaign I was fighting for the American people. Now I am truly fighting for my family and to get a job." When asked about the possibility that he does not win in November he was once again strong. "I'll be fine, I'm not too old to go back to work. Ann and I have raised our children and provided for them, so whatever happens at this point is God's will."


I will let the readers decide if this improbably event would change the race's outcome. I would also like to point out the fact that president Obama seems to have some financial stability as well. It has been reported that he has a net worth of around $12 million. That number is quite lower than reports of Romney's wealth, but is still a hell of a lot more money than the average American has.
