Mitt Romney doesn't like dressage anymore

[^_^ 5,021]

Mitt Romney tried to distance himself from the elite horse-dancing sport of dressage on Wednesday night, telling NBC’s Brian Williams that he doesn’t know anything about it – and doesn’t plan to watch his wife’s horse compete in the upcoming Olympics.

“It’s a big, exciting experience for my wife. I have to tell you, this is Ann’s sport,” Romney said. “I’m not even sure which day the sport goes on. She will get the chance to see it, I will not be watching the event. I hope her horse does well.”

...

Romney’s coolness towards dressage is certainly a new development. The presumptive Republican nominee has talked extensively about his love of horses, and he has been deeply involved with his wife’s Olympic contender, Rafalca, in the past. The Romneys have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the horse, and Mitt himself personally picked the music that Rafalca “danced” to at the World Cup.

Even if he couldn’t attend, it would be odd for a supposed family man — and Olympic enthusiast — to be unaware of what day his wife’s horse is competing.

While it’s possible that Romney has suddenly sworn off dressage, it seems more likely that this is simply campaign posturing. Given all of the mysteries surrounding Romney’s tremendous fortune, he probably doesn’t want to be too closely associated with an ultra-expensive hobby like “horse ballet.”

I'm personally wondering what the heck he was doing at the Olympics, acting as if he was representing the US or something. Hello, you're not President yet and I hope you never will be.

Are you Kenyan? I thought you were American.

Romney is just scared that attention will be drawn to how Rafalca got to London. You know, the Mitt way...

There he goes again, trying to lock in that, "I Hate Eastern Saddle Riders" demographic.

No Sh|t! 8 years ago he was on some big committee about dressage, for about 3 years.
