Romney Begins Walking Back His Stimulus Plan

Last week Big Love Mitt Romney announced a massively huge renovation stimulation project for Southern California. Fearing his 3,000 sq. ft. mansion was no longer adequate for his family's needs, Romney decided to invest millions of his own money into the local economy and quadruple the size of his compound home.

However, some people are not grateful for the stimulus project Big Love has so wrought upon the community.  Some (under-privileged I'm sure) are beginning to question the character behind quadrupling your 4th home already worth millions of dollars when so many Americans are out of work and/or struggling to get by.  Those of us here at The Fold Blog reject any notion that Romney's stimulus program is disingenious or elitest.  We fully understand the great need for stimulus projects especially in the housing industry.  But some people really believe the timing speaks volumes of Romney's true character.

Therefore, Big Love has been forced to walk back some of the highlights of his stimulus program.

It’s not accurate, Romney said, simply. The application he made, two years ago, was to double the living space by turning one story into two. The “quadrupling’’ was a measurement of added nonliving space, including a basement and garage.

"don't they know he's only doing God's work?"
whispers the Romney voter

You see there.  Garages and full basements don't count.  He's technically only doubling the space of his $4 million mansion.  Though the price tag is still set at $12 million.
