(53,410 posts)The man in the wheelchair tells Romney that he has a very rare form of MS and that he weighs 80 lbs and always has and that the only thing that helps him is medical marijuana.
Romney then says something about him using synthetic marijuana to which the young man answers that he's tried it but it makes him very sick and he ends up throwing up.
The young man asks Romney if he would have him arrested for smoking marijuana. Romney's answer was that he's against marijuana and he quickly dismisses the man. Another person, probably the one taking the video pursues Romeny and asks him why he dismissed the young man. Romney answers that he talked to him and that he stated his position.

(53,410 posts)If he becomes President we're going to see it everyday. Even now every time he's in front of a camera he's doing that smile.
When we see footage of him giving a speach that grin never shows up.

(19,458 posts)That's all I can figure. He seems to he an angry person, with this fake smile, that means he will blow up later. No doubt he blew up at his staff later on for letting that man near him...
How in the hell could anyone vote for that guy? I know that he won the primaries by default, but he's just so slimy and mean. His campaign is nasty and mean, too.

(2,983 posts)Perhaps I'm paranoid, or reading too much into it... but I see contempt and disinterest almost immediately after the man starts questioning Romney. It's almost as if he believes himself too important to be forced to deal with us peasants. I look at Romney and I see the face of a tyrant, a King, a sociopath CEO... one of the true "elites". A rich persons rich person. His favorite place in my state is apparently the Portland (ME) Yacht Club. I doubt he sees many in wheel chairs there - and when he does, he is willing to overlook it because they're rich.
Romney will shake the right hands and kiss the right asses to keep his wealth and power growing... when it comes to the rest of us, we should not expect much, at all.
