Mitt Romney is perceived as being out of touch with the typical American, and his bet comment only emphasizes that. In a way, I almost feel bad for Romney because that wasn't his intention at all with that comment. However, anything you say when you're running for president is going to be scrutinized, so I don't feel too badly for him. It's well known that Romney is extremely wealthy, and in this economy, when so money people are struggling to make ends meet, he does not want to draw attention to that. Jimmy Margulies, the cartoonist, is presumably a liberal who doesn't like Mitt Romney because he's a Republican, or a conservative who thinks that Romney is too liberal. We can see that he is mocking Romney by looking at the third frame, where he makes his point that Romney is not only out of touch, but doesn't understand that he is out of touch.
