Romney Visits Iowa Restaurant, Owners Feel Dissed

http://www.buzzfeed.com/mckaycoppins/romney-visits-iowa-restaurant-owners-feel-dissed


Across the street, at Main Street Café, owner Dianne Bauer said she too felt disrespected – not by Elsey, but Romney himself.

Romney held a roundtable discussion at the restaurant prior to his talk in the park. His staff and security ushered Bauer and her husband Earl to a back portion of the restaurant and they were unable to meet the former Massachusetts governor, Dianne Bauer said.

The restaurant has hosted other candidates, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who introduced himself.

“The Secret Service said they would ask to make sure we got to be introduced and get a picture,” Bauer said. “I don’t care as much about the picture but at least let me meet the guy who I tore my place up for.”

And in WillardWorld, the help had better know its place. That place is nowhere near Willard and you speak only when spoken to.

... he's like GWB now. They cannot and will not have him unscripted around regular people ever again. He's an idiot. After insulting the local bakery cookies on camera, and he and Mrs. Romney's incredibly out of touch statements, he cannot be let loose around anyone. He's ANOTHER one of those republican chia pet candidates.

That is just total bullshit that they could NOT be in their own damn restaurant! President Obama has no problem going into restaurants, and having convos with the owners, the staff, and the folks in the place... Not Romney.. if the people aren't hand-picked and prepped, it won't happen. God.. they're doing it again!

Anyone remember the last thing that Bush said to an ordinary citizen before his people kept him away from them from then on?

"who cares what you think?"
