It's his stimulus plan to lower California's unemployment rate (which is 2nd in the nation @ 12.9%).

It really isn't an expansion as much as it is a replacement. He plans to bulldoze the current structure and build on the site.

Maybe he'll hire them to work on his home expansion and then with the money they get from working they will be able to pay their rent etc.. I think that's how the economy is supposed to work.

According to Cappy, he should instead invite 6 homeless people to move in WITH his family, and then instead of spending the money on a bigger house, give each of them thousands of dollars a month for free and without having to lift a finger.

You can ask Ed Smart how well inviting homeless people into your home and giving them a job works out.

Well they say lead by example - if he's creating jobs what's wrong with that? What's he supposed to do, lose his shirt in the stock market?

From what I understand from today's news, Romney's not even going to live there.
What's the beef here? I don't see any.

I don't get the angst on this one - everyone already knew this guy was rich, and if he's spending his money then what's the big deal? If he didn't spend the money and instead buried it in some offshore account people would be ripping him. So he's being ripped now for actually spending the money and hiring a bunch of workers in the process? Is the problem just that he's rich because he sees damned if he does and damned if he doesn't in this case.

The issue is insensitivity and the appearance that he is not in touch with Americans and the real world. Is there anything morally wrong with what he is doing? No. Is is politically smart? No.

It's the basis of his Job Creation plan. What is the Democrats plan? Exactly...

If I were you, I would really turn my outrage on Obama spending borrowed government money on flying two planes of family plus additional taxpayer expense on attendants to vacation in Martha's vineyard rather than Romney spending his own money to build a vacation home.
How does Obama spend his own money? Does he give it to the poor? What has he done for his aunt in public housing?

This "issue" will disappear in about 5 minutes. Carry on.

Maybe it's an example of Romney's knowledge of how to handle money, something that hasn't been seen in Washington in over 10 years.

I just find it hilarious that donks can look past ALL the real and supposed flaws and inadequacies of Obama and elect him president, but want to fillet a guy who's spending his OWN FUCKING MONEY to build a nice house on the water. It's pure, unadulterated JEALOUSY, plain and simple. Ya'll need to just get over yourselves.

Handling money well, both in having invested and put it aside to have it, and in spending it in a recession when it is needed to create jobs actually building something that will provide jobs going forward. It's almost like he learned that from FDR...

Tom, Republicans really need to get over that his is a citizen. They were pissed because a mulatoo, the Brown Aristocricy made it into the White House. It's racists ignorance. He's a natuarlized citizen, born in Hawai'i. Regardless of his father being a Kenyan. In fact, between him and McCain, McCain needed Congress to officially naturalize him in 2008 due to him being born in Panama Canal Zone. Naturalization is an ambigous topic. He's has provided multiple, legitimate certificates of live birth. There is not some high level conspiracy, which started at his birth and orchestrated by the Democratic Party, to elect a mulatoo to the presidency in 2008. I bet 'spanos would agree.

I'm not sure it was racist - let's be honest, if McCain had won the election there would've been a small but vocal group of Democrats who would still be railing on today about how McCain wasn't a naturalized citizen. Fringe groups like these are found in both parties in equal numbers and I think it has more to do with zealous partisanship than anything else. These people can't see past the D or the R.
