Mitt Romney thinks you should be able to roll down the windows on airplanes

This isn't really a substantive election issue so much as a really, really funny quote.

"When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous."

Do you think every person needs to be right about everything? He's just a person, I've made mistakes too. The mayor of Toronto or quoted saying Winnipeg is across the border from Detroit last week

I'd like to think that the individuals responsible for determining the political path of our nation and representing the country to the world should not be absolute idiots.

Yeah I get that of course, but I mean you can't expect him to know everything. I bet there are things Obama doesn't know about the DNA structure of sea urchins, let make a thread about that

There are some things that it is understandable and forgivable to not know; an elementary understanding of how airplanes work is not one of those things.

What Romney said was on-par with this lady:

for most of us there's a big difference between the dna of sea urchins and knowing why you don't open windows on airplanes, but hey if you don't think Mitt Romney's an idiot then i'm sure he'd be happy to know it, you guys could hang out and not know things together.

The beginning of Alive with Romney's head replacing all the main characters is playing in my mind right now. 

It's even better than the original.

Because adding oxygen to a fire will definitely help the situation...

He doesn't actually say "I think we should be able to roll down airplane windows whenever we want."

Pretty sure he meant in an emergency while on an aircraft, Plus he said "I don’t know why they don’t do that." Doesn't necessarily mean he wants them to, I mean it's probably because his wife was on a plane they had to make an emergency stop on.

I thought the same thing.  I was just scratching my head.  I mean, doesn't get planes?  Ok.  Doesn't understand FIRE?  GTFO.

He's not saying oxygen will help put out the fire..... He's saying he thinks open windows on a plane during an emergency is a good idea because there was no clean air on the plane during the fire... Thus why his wife was rubbing her eyes and choking.

Stick head out window= Fresh air?..

don't get me wrong. I hate Romney. But I don't think a president has to know everything. He said "I don't know why". I am assuming someone would tell him why and he would realize it's not a real problem. He probably wasn't thinking clearly either.

He IS an idiot though.

I haven't seen anything bad happen since he's been mayor, Just a lot of funny things. My brothers had a conversation with him at a wedding at it sounded hilarious
