1. That guy with the backwards backpack immediately reminded me of this:

[AtomicKitten]

61. +1

[XemaSab]

66. So much

Then again, I'm reminded of that every time I see teh Mitt.

[iamthebandfanman]

92. someone with better graphics knowledge than me

should totally make an image with your simpsons image and one of mitts side by side

[jerseyjack]

109. Yanks, tourists and other Gringos are encouraged to carry backpacks that way.

Thus, you can see someone trying to open the backpack.

Pick-pockets and such thieves find a backpack carried on the back to be easy targets.

[justabob]

2. I want to know what the young guy in green said as mitt passed

And what the older grumpy looking guy was thinking. lol

[Fla Dem]

28. In the 4th pic, the face on the woman is priceless. n/t

[thelordofhell]

35. I think he said something like.............

"WANKER!!"

[Historic NY]

41. Bingo!!!

Hey bloke your that wanker.

[justabob]

47. yup

His wife/girlfriend/sister/lady in brown look like they are having fun, but she looks like they *may* have crossed a line (and is kinda worried about it) while giggling madly. The Asian guy in the rear is looking hard pressed to keep from laughing too. I wish we knew what he really said. Mitt sure isn't loving it.

[caseymoz]

55. Mitt "Wanker" Romney?

That's a nickname that has to stick.

[Stefd]

80. I know what he said

I am the dude in the back with the glasses, the dude in green was a yank too and said that he knew who Mitt was, i didnt have a clue who he was and had to speak to the dude in green to find out.

[Judi Lynn]

85. Just saw your comments. I hope the guy in green didn't flatter him. He doesn't look impressed.

He looks as if he's laughing at him. I hope he was.

It must have been your not so-lucky-day, to see the biggest dirtball in the world!

Thanks for letting us in on your presence in the photo, and welcome to D.U.

[Stefd]

86. thanks

and i was so close to him I would of hit him if i had known who he was

[marble falls]

112. I love the guy in green and how underwhelmed he was by the Mittster.

[Stardust]

90. Welcome to DU! So the pointer was an American??? Hoo boy, he's flirting with a wart on his

nose, as my dad would say!

And you're an American, but didn't know who Mitt Romney was? That must be heavenly...

[bigwillq]

98. Hello

Welcome to DU!

[zeemike]

105. Well welcome to DU.

I love it when we hear from non Americans....gives us a different take on things.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

89. He's pointing at the Twit

[jerseyjack]

110. --what the older grumpy looking guy was thinking?

"ASSHOLE"

[1StrongBlackMan]

3. You KNOW ...

you've got image problems when someone not only laughs at you; but POINTS, while laughing.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Ok Mitt, wearing an American Flag EVERYWHERE?

It is people like you that make us say, NO I AM NOT WITH IDIOT.

[leveymg]

5. A Royal welcome to London fit for Kaiser Wilhelm.

Gotta love the expressions on everyone's face, including Mitt's.

Priceless.

[RagAss]

15. Duzy !

[hifiguy]

58. OMG!

DUzy, indeed.

[tk2kewl]

6. Ha Ha!

[Cali_Democrat]

14. LOL

I immediately thought of Nelson as soon as I saw that picture.

[tk2kewl]

18. Me too!

I was scrambling trying to google and post it first from my blackberry, I was so excited!

but I was 2nd

[DURHAM D]

7. Pic # 5 - older guy in lime green shirt.

His expression is priceless. That is my favorite.

[ailsagirl]

8. It's a beautiful moment

A picture is worth a thousand words!

[malaise]

10. The snub is priceless

My caption: You're not shaking my hand - I'm fugging UNION

[Bobbie Jo]

12. LOL!

Love that!

[progressivebydesign]

17. He's thinking "fuck you and that dancing horse you rode over on." n/t

[Lex]

65. Haha! That made me literally LOL!

[struggle4progress]

23. brown blouse's expression in #4 is fun, too

[calimary]

53. Man, that's some serious stink-eye for you.

Who knows, for sure? But it certainly looks that way. And that stink-eye seems to follow romney as mittski proceeds past him, doesn't it?

Yikes!

[A Simple Game]

64. If looks could kill, the secret service would have tackled that guy. n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

75. Speaking of looks, didha notice Mittens is NOT making any eye contact?

He plasters a smile on his face but does not acknowledge any of the people at all.

[A Simple Game]

79. Now that you mention it, yes. n/t

[malaise]

9. Fugging hell that's called

Being ridiculed and then snubbed - hilarious

[Berlum]

11. What a freakin Tosser

How perfectly Republican to be a Walking Wanking Tosser.

I see that 'you people' in the photo immediately recognize Willard's ingrained Republicanism...

[wendylaroux]

13. Is Mitt getting this?

Is that his uncomfortable,embarrassed face?

[siligut]

19. That's his 'don't throw pearls before swine' face

He knows they are just too unenlightened to get him, so he is being tolerant of the little people. But he'll remember them for when he is supreme ruler of the world, oh yes.

[progressivebydesign]

16. anyone have a photo of the President in England, to contrast?

Cuz I'm pretty sure that it would not look anything like that. He looks like people are laughing at him.. and are disgusted by him. He looks so weird and out of place on a sidewalk.

[demwing]

30. My favorite

[demwing]

32. and this one is great

makes me feel like we're a country of giants

[Kadie]

38. Awesome.

[calimary]

54. NICE one!

I hadn't seen that one before. I bet that policeman grinned for the rest of the day.

[demwing]

59. You can absolutely see that

that's an all day winner grin!

[Daemonaquila]

67. 10 points!

That, right there, is class.

[demwing]

69. Clearly not a photo op

Nothing posed at all - just a second of Obama's time dedicated to letting an otherwise invisible guy doing a tough job know that he's appreciated. You're right, that's class.

[AtomicKitten]

73. I was thinking of that photo.

Quote a contrast to the MittTwitt.

[CanonRay]

20. The bald guy's look is priceless

Thanks for sharing

[Swede]

21. "Hey,it's that stupid fookin' get from the telly"

[struggle4progress]

22. feel the love

[Arugula Latte]

24. So much laughable weirdness in these pics.

For example, what's with Pointing Guy not understanding the "back" part of "backpack"?

[Historic NY]

43. Its like Mitt and the backside of #10 downing Street....

[HangOnKids]

76. Lots Of Pick Pockets About I'm Sure

When I am in a crowded city area I wear my back pack purse just like that.

[Brother Buzz]

25. "You ain't got no pancake mix!"

[hlthe2b]

26. wow.. look at the size of this (SS?) agent...

Romney's pretty tall, but this guy makes him look like a midget. Wow.

[CoboWowbo]

106. Romney is 6'2"...

The big guy looks to be 6'5"-6'7"

[louis-t]

107. Bet he's not very fast, though.

[Chorophyll]

27. I think the balding man in the green shirt

deserves his own fan club. Your face, sir!

[jillan]

29. Awkward! Holding out your hand and no shake it, instead they point and laugh.

[Sheepshank]

40. One laughed and one scowled

but neither reciprocated the hand shake in these pics

[Brickbat]

31. No eye contact, no outreach, no warmth from the man whatsoever. He's clearly as uncomfortable as

hell. I hope that guy in the lime green is ready to be a meme, though. Because OMG.

[dickthegrouch]

33. At least their not raising their middle fingers (yet)

And, yes, I know that Brits use two fingers for *our* anglo-saxon salute

[rurallib]

34. Mitt wears loafers?

Can't he afford to hire somebody to tie his shoes?
Fuck, I thought he was RICH.

[WI_DEM]

36. Oh, what a popular fellow!

[LiberalFighter]

37. I do hope someone interviewed the guy to find out what he said if anything.

Wouldn't it be fun to find out the guy was making fun of Rmoney?

[amuse bouche]

39. TeeHee

Point and laugh

[ProSense]

42. .

[steve2470]

44. k&r nt

[Tarheel_Dem]

45. I'd love to know what the older bald man is thinking. If his eyes were daggers,

I'd worry about the Mittster's safety. That looks like a snub of epic proportions. I hope these guys get interviewed. Did anyone else notice the Asian guy doing his damnedest not to crack up?

[paparush]

48. This has photoshop caption contest written all over it. nt

[Kadie]

50. I just started a new thread...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021032376





Have fun!

[freshwest]

52. He looks like he wants to wack him with that paper in his hand.

[Crowman1979]

84. He's thinking: I recognize that Yank Wanker!

[NBachers]

46. Oh, man, that bald guy is great! He should be in every single picture of Rmoney

[Octafish]

49. This guy?

He's the face of everyone who knows anything about Mitt Romney.

[calimary]

56. Maybe he'll take his place with the cop pepper-spraying everything, and that

ubiquitous squirrel in the National Geographic photo that couple took - with such impeccable timing! Remember how that one started popping up everywhere? This fellow would be ideal!

[SunSeeker]

51. WTF... Is Mitt allergic to eye contact?

These pics really do say it all. What a wanker.

[Betty Jo]

57. My Irish Bank Accounts

Out of my way ! I'm on my way to the Irish Embassy. We are going to talk about my secret Irish bank accounts. I hope no one on DU downloads them from my tax returns.

[Coyotl]

60. NICE SUIT!

Mitt thinks that's a compliment

[Vinca]

62. Green shirt guy is definitely not impressed.

[okieinpain]

63. someone should make a slide show of those

five pictures and call it mitts day out. too damn funny.

[madokie]

68. I love the look the guy in the light green shirt is giving mitt the shit

[nolabear]

70. May the universe forgive me, I have to defend Mitt a little here.

I saw the video that these still were taken from. The guy with the frontbackpack really did look dekighted, they did shake hands, after which he pointed. I'll allow he might just have been thrilled at seeing the celeb of the moment. But he did seem pleased.

Other guy? Not so much.

[Brigid]

71. That big guy in the background in some of those shots . . .

Looks like Chris Christie!

[Stefd]

81. that is me

if you are talking about the brown hair dude with glasses and superman tshirt then yep that is me. i have been online searching for the pics. and i had to look up who Chris Christie......thanks a bunch

[siligut]

87. The guy in the suit looks more like Christie to me

And really, it is his politics that we have a problem with. You look like a fine fellow.

So what did the guy with the backpack say to Mitt?

[Stefd]

97. he said, that he knew who he was and welcomed Mitt to the UK, he was a yank too

It was nothing bad just that.

[siligut]

103. I saw him shake Mitt's hand in the video version

So his pointing at Mitt and smiling isn't a derision, it is more just happiness. Thank you for your response.

[nenagh]

99. The man in the suit behind Romney looks like Chris Christie...

Enjoy the games..and London...

[valerief]

72. "Ha! Look at the American Mittiot!"

[Stardust]

91. LOL! Good one, valerief!

:

[zappaman]

74. Love these pics n/t

[patrice]

77. Laughing & Scowling . . . he, he, he

[onethatcares]

78. looks like

they luv him and he's a part of them, don't it???

[spanone]

82. damn, that security guy to his right is HUGH

[Botany]

88. you got that right

right or left that is one big guy and if he told me to do something I
would do it.

[Spirochete]

83. Will they ever forgive us?

They send us The Beatles, and we send them Mitt the Mutant. How embarrassing

[Estevan]

93. is he wearing loafahs?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

94. These pictures look more like a mob boss going to trial.

[img][/img]

you can just picture the big guy as an enforcer going into a store to collect protection money.

[sarge43]

95. #5 is going in dictionaries next to the definition of Stink Eye

That man is seriously pissed off.

[Blanks]

96. Dude in the first pic has his fingers in the shape of an 'L'...

He must be a Smash Mouth fan.

[Hippo_Tron]

100. For a guy with that kind of money, you'd think he would have a better wardrobe

He could use a slightly more tailored suit cut and he's wearing rubber soled shoes. Not that there's anything wrong with rubber soles, but when you're going to something formal and you have his means, it's probably best to wear some nicer dress shoes.

[tridim]

101. LMAO here. Those are great!

[brewens]

102. It pisses them off when you don't register with The Ministry of Silly Walks!

Rather like tax dodging over here I should think.

[cilla4progress]

104. I've got it

I think Mitt has some sort of autism spectrum disability in that he appears unable to empathize or even make eye contact

[triplepoint]

108. mitwit ROBme is "Greg Stillson" from "The Dead Zone"

and EVERYWHERE he goes, it's the "Twilight Zone." He exudes it...like Pigpen's dust/dirt cloud in the comic strip, "Peanuts."

[Pauldg47]

111. I can portray my father.....

.....as being all business (Banker executive), a republican, highly critical of people, but portrayed himself as very positive. He was incredibly verbally abusive. He was very narcissistic and had very similar looks, mannerisms & inappropriate/awkward remarks that Romney currently has.

My dad now has Alzheimer's.

Just saying.


*Note: This is very hard to send.
