I guess that makes Michigan part of “real America.”

I live in Michigan. The trees are the right height; for trees. A giant Redwood would be nice though around Copper Harbor I think.

Height is NOT a subject Donny Deutsch should be commenting
on in ANY setting!

Donny’s mama made him wear a tie today, because he has to get to his Mensa meeting later.

Did also say that folks from MIchigan speak “Austrian”?

Romney assumes everybody in Michigan employs aborist to keep trees at the perfect height, similar to his trees at the 5 houses.

I must plan a car trip through Michigan. As much as I love Texas, I have to admit our trees are not of the right height. In my part of Texas, they are too short, in East Texas, they are too tall, and I won’t even go into the cactus in West Texas. I recommend you don’t go into the cactus either. Prickly as a Republican candidate for president.

Hey Mitt-it’s not the size of the tree…but the thickness that counts…adn how you use it!

The trees can only make Michigan part of “real America” if they aren’t gay! The trees in Michigan aren’t gay are they? If they are…then, no, the trees will not help Michigan be part of “real America.”

Romney should have stayed in bed….  HS classmates, trees and lakes, and ex-girl friends? Really?  He shouldn’t even consider making an attempt at being someone he is not…  he always fails miserably. 

Growing up in Michigan I once saw a tree making love to a chain link fence. Very akward.

I’m from Michigan, and every time I go back I talk about the trees being just right. The trees in DC are little, decorative garden trees, they just aren’t the same.

Bloody hell this a primary is entertaining.  Based on pure entertainment value, I still can’t decide who I want to win:  Santorum or Romney.  They (and their cohorts) say such amusingly misguided things.  It’s like they haven’t been politicians all their lives and thus have no idea how to speak in public, or something.

Yeah because he’s short, right? LOL

Yes, mentally, intellectually, morally and physically.

MIchigan’s Trees are the Perfect Height thats why its Called Pure Michigan  youtube Pure Michigan for the Answer

I think that I shall never see
A politico pander as Romney.
Romney whose hungry mouth is prest
‘gainst the butt of Michiganetts.
Romney that looks to God all day
and hopes Santorum will go away.
Romeny that may this summer wear
A nest of Palins in his hair.
Politicos are funny, can’t you see
and even a dog likes Romney

Stolen from Kilmer

Go Buckeyes!

Some of the more colorful trees, in the fall probably are.  I have it on good authority (from some whispering pines) about ten percent of the trees are sly.

Sigh, they grow up so fast, as did I (growing-up) in Michigan. You never have to go far to find a shoreline to walk upon.

He does’nt know the difference between a mangel and a sugar beet, or lake perch and a sea bass, and owns no home here.  He’s a tourist and should’nt pretend otherwise.

LOL I am sure that he could tell you in great detail the difference between a Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, and a White Marlin, or the advantage of owning a Viking over a Bertram…

 Go Wolverines!
Ohio Sucks!
:-)

I believe the average height of a Michigan tree is a perfect 80 feet tall.
Alaska’s trees are all stunted from the permafrost problem, and Texas trees are stunted from lack of water. Florida trees are mostly palm trees, which are more common to 3rd World countries. I will try to think of other insults to other states’ trees. Any help? 

 Michigan deciduous trees are only gay in the fall.

 Me too.

 Unofficially Michiganders.

 Be sure to cross the Mighty Mac (Mackinac bridge) and see the scenic Upper Peninsula. The UPers (yoopers) there are friendly but just as ruggedly individual as any Texan.
No cars allowed on Mackinac Island, but it is a nice day trip.  

Mostly the Bavarian version around Frankenmuth. I have not met any whose family immigrated from Austria. Lots and lots of Bavarians, though. Yes. Bavarian is an accent/dialect, just like Austrian is.

I understand what Mitt meant. I think you have to leave Michigan and then come back to understand. I spent 30 years there (UM ’06) and I’ve been in different parts of the country until settling in California. 

The trees in other places are ”managed”. In California & D.C. the trees are trimmed regularly. In Alaska & Texas the weather keeps the trees from growing as large as Michigan. Michigan’s trees are as tall & robust as they can be. And then they magically bloom into a fire-y rainbow every October. Only Oregon has trees as wild as Michigan, but they are mostly firs and aren’t as beautiful. 

I took the trees for granted when I lived there. Now that I’ve been to other places I understand just how beautiful Michigan’s trees truly are.
That said, Romney is a fake douche wanna-be and so is Ohio State.  ;)

In Ohio, our second growth trees are a imperfect 100′, or better. We logged the little 80 foot ones years ago, when they were needed ;)
And Romney is still a douche!

This speech was actually a brilliant one. It’s sad that you guys pick up on one silly thing and make it go viral.  That speech highlighted the depth and breadth that Mitt Romney has an astute businessman. Remember, he has TWO degrees from Harvard. ;-)
