Anyway, one thing about jewelry is that it is a very clear statement about adorning oneself.

I bring it up in part because I think we as a society are still pretty skittish about our economy, and over the recent months while I’m out milling about I’m trying to be more aware of how people are acting around me. Lots of people appear to be pressured, under duress.

This is the thing about which if Romney was an approachable, warm, “in-touch” type of guy he could have successfully honed in on. From his statements I get the impression that analysts are telling him to focus on the frustration of the American people, but frankly he just can’t connect with the 99% of us who aren’t in the top 1%.
