[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the quote:

[quote]At an outdoor roundtable with some Pennsylvania voters, Romney was offered lemonade and cookies. You can imagine what fresh public-relations havoc this offering wrought. “I’m not sure about these cookies,” Romney said. “Did you make those cookies? You didn’t, did you? No. No. They came from the local 7-Eleven bakery or wherever.”[/quote]

I am a died-in-the-wool liberal, who wouldn't think of voting for Romney, and who thinks Obama has disappointingly tacked to the center/right.  And I could not agree more with Romney.  (Yes, he was wrong that they were not mass-produced cookies, but that's beside the point.) [b] I wouldn't eat that crap either, both for health reasons and for taste reasons.  [/b]

You mean, the fact that he couldn't just say "I'm ok right now, thank you" and instead made some ridiculously disparaging comment about the food that was offered him doesn't bother you?  In my house at least, we teach kids not to say "eww, gross" when they don't like something and to simply politely decline.

In spite of all his money, the guy has [b]no class and no manners[/b]. Everything about him and his wife exudes an attitude along the lines of "I know I have to temporarily deal with [b]you people [/b]so I can get your vote, but hopefully it'll be over quick." There are lots and lots of self-made people out there who are worth far more than he is and don't have one tenth the scorn he feels for regular people.[/quote]

Yes, agreed. I don't want to be governed by someone who thinks he can and should opt out of sharing experiences that the majority of Americans have every day (e.g., eating mass-produced cookies). That's the very definition of out of touch. [/quote]
