Multi-Hundred Millionaire Mitt Romney Struggles to Find Non-$100 Bill in Wallet

[onehandle]

At one table, a boy offered Romney a $1 bill that he had folded origami-style for good luck. The candidate happily accepted it, but then rifled through his wallet looking for money to give the boy in return. Romney had a $100 bill, but evidently did not want to give that away. An aide handed him a $1 bill, but Romney said that wasn't enough.

Then, deep inside his leather billfold, Romney found a $5 bill. "We'll give you an Abraham Lincoln back," he said, handing it to the boy.

1. so...

the idea is to make him sound like an out of touch elitist because he did give the kid back a 5er out of his wallet?

Yeah..I see this one bringing him down :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

2. I want a reporter to ask: "How many jobs have you created?"

Versus how many he downsized and/or eliminated.

Does Romney really think he won't get hit with that question? His record is abysmal....

7. Jesus, it was a GIFT from the boy

Why did he feel he had to pay the boy back?

Is this the mindset of a Republican that everything has to be paid for?

14. The US has $1 bills? Welcome 1980s! Join the rest of the Developed World w/ $1 Coins

Those poor trees and the cost to maintain those bills must be such an unnecessary fortune for the mint.
