1. He's just like me! I am soooooooooo voting for him. nt

[madaboutharry]

2. lol!

Big money that he never pushed a shopping cart in his life!

[cyberswede]

3. He does look completely awkward with it.

And I wonder if Pepsi paid him for product placement? Or better yet...if Coke did?

[JDPriestly]

30. I thought Mormons did not drink coffee, tea, Pepsi or Coke.

What happened here?

He isn't shopping for himself or his family like other people do.

[Javaman]

37. he's a closet caffiner. ;) lol nt

[cyberswede]

39. Maybe he's picking up a few things for the SS agents?

..you know...like regular Americans do all the time?

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. He certainly didn't buy much....

except for Coke, Pepsi and Poland Springs water. Looks like maybe three bags in his cart. All for show, of course.

[MADem]

18. Look at the size of that cart--it looks like a convenience store/liquor store cart! nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

28. Certainly not big enough to hold a week's worth of food, etc.

It was a photo op!

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. Do Mormons drink caffeine/sodas?

Thought I heard somewhere they cannot/do not.

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. That's what I thought, too.

[Rhiannon12866]

45. The Pepsi in the cart jumped out at me, too...

I used to work with a girl who was LDS and at meetings they'd offer us Coke or coffee but she couldn't drink either.

Great to see you, my friend! Hope that you're feeling well!

[greatauntoftriplets]

46. I am on the mend, but it's a slow process getting over the weakness and being tired.

Thanks for the good wishes.

[customerserviceguy]

58. It's not forbidden to them

But many abstain from it thinking that it is.

[TheCowsCameHome]

50. It's for his victory party.

No sense wasting too much money on something that won't happen.

[cindyperry2010]

4. he just looks so comfortable

doing that like he has done it all his life doesn't he?

[JDPriestly]

31. He looks scared that the cart will get away from him, or maybe,

that he is making a fool of himself. Which he is.

[NYC_SKP]

5. Romney: "GET ME DOWN!!!"

.
How the heck do I get down from here???

6. I wonder if Mitt was as fascinated at the automatic opening doors at the store as Bush I was?

Actually, Bush I was fascinated with the cash registers and scanners, like it was the first time he had seen such things.

I remember Johnny Carson joking that Day Quayle was on the shopping trip, too. He was jumping up and down in front of the automatic doors, making them open and close.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. "HEY, I saw that in some TV show, A Star is Born? Superman? Green Hornet? Mule train? "

It must have been an eye popping experience. I am sure that is the first time he's been inside a grocer-styled establishment in decades.

[leveymg]

7. What are those funny lines on the package for? Paper or plastic? - call my commodities broker!

Just another regular guy at the local Safeway, just like Poppy Bush.

Is that Adnan Khashogghi showing Prince G.H.W. how a bar-scanner works?

[tridim]

8. I want to see the pic of the SS tossing it all in the dumpter around the corner.

The food, not Mittens.

[tavalon]

29. Why not Mittens?

It would be a new experience for him. And I would, for one, get a kick and half out of it.

[tridim]

43. Good point.

[Deb]

9. A Vitalis road trip leads Mitt to further merchandising temptations

Obviously, the man has no will power.

[MADem]

19. Ha ha ha!

Might have been Brylcreem--supposedly that's what made Saint Ronnie's hair appear "ungreyed!"




In the handy unbreakable tube! A little dab'll do ya!

[Angry Dragon]

11. there is no 'you people' within 200 feet of him

[auburngrad82]

13. Iwonder if he picked up, oh say, half a million dollar's worth of horse treats. nt

[klook]

15. If I saw these on the shelf, I'd think I'd wandered into the "wrong kind of store"

http://www.horsetreats.com/products/Uncle-Jimmys-Squeezy-Buns-15-Piece.html

[MADem]

17. Squeezy buns? How about the hangin' balls? This dude is ... fresh!!

http://www.horsetreats.com/products/Uncle-Jimmys-Hangin-Balls.html

[klook]

14. Pepsi! Busted!!

Aren't Mormons supposed to eschew caffeine?

[MADem]

16. WTF is he doing with PEPSI in that cart? I thought Mormons didn't drink caffeinated drinks!

Is he trying to get Maine's vote with the Poland Springs?

[WinstonSmith4740]

23. I live in an LDS community...

And the teacher I drive to school with is Mormon, but is basically what is called a "jack" Mormon, and is VERY cool. She drinks Diet Coke all the time, so I asked her once about the "Coke vs. Pepsi" thing, because supposedly it's OK to drink the products of one but not the other. I had thought they were only supposed to drink Coke products...something about the church's ownership of a sugar company. She told me the whole C vs. P thing was not "doctrine", and she drank Coke because she preferred the taste...the doctrine is they were not supposed to drink anything with a "stimulant" effect, so yes, coffee, tea, & caffeinated drinks are out. However, to quote her, "Now the wine I drink...that's against "doctrine"!

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. He has a hell of a drive ahead of him.

From that store in Mass. to that house in La Jola that he bought.......

[Jessy169]

22. What A Dork

And a fraud. A poser. A low-down dirty trickster. There just aren't enough adjectives...

[Ikonoklast]

24. Relatable Romney

[ErikJ]

25. Get away driver? I wonder if he paid for it.

[tavalon]

26. Awe, look at our 1% Ken Doll

Bless his heart, he is as dumb as a log. And has anyone noticed that his accent is slowly "southernizing"? It's not the over the top, bullshit accent of dubya, the kennebunkport Texan. Any Texan knew he was faking and hadn't even paid good money for a voice coach. I'm kind of surprised to here 1%er trying to put on a southern accent. He's more subtle, but being born in Mexico doesn't entitle one to pick up a southern accent and other than living in the southern states for a substantial amount of time, nothing does.

I lived in the south most of my life. I finally escaped. But, I don't pick up accents so no one can ever guess where I'm from. I kinda like it that way. But I can channel Molly Ivins when the need arises and it does arise, bless it's heart.

[SaveAmerica]

32. "Bentley, today I'll wear my mock shopping jeans...

and button down working man's shirt."

[colorado_ufo]

33. Hmmmm . . . Pepsi, spring water, napkins?

What's in the plastic bag - Jack Daniels? Looks like PAR-TEE! PAR-TEE!

[ErikJ]

34. "Geez Geeves! Who knew they wouldnt have change for Krugerands?"

[Initech]

35. The least interesting man in the world on shopping

"What's this wheeled device called again?"

Stay boring my friends.

[Javaman]

36. mittens: the hairy conehead. nt

[riverwalker]

38. "lose the wingtips, Mitt"

"put these on, they're called sneakers"

[Aviation Pro]

40. Did Lurch...

...the Fucking Stiff^TM really pay for these 'groceries?' Bet you he had one of his fucking lackey minions whip out the fat stack of 100s.

[Kalidurga]

41. He should stick to suits.

He looks like an idiot trying to dress like normal people.

[tclambert]

42. "Please note that I also am wearing blue canvas fabric pantaloons, just like you people often do."

[ErikJ]

44. Next Mitt hires Snoop Dog and JayZ as Homey consultants.

[Blue Owl]

47. I can't see real good -- is that Joe Sixpack?

n/t

[Peaceful Protester]

48. Romney arrives back at his mansion

[TheCowsCameHome]

49. It took him two hours to figure out which end to push.

I am so voting for him!
















not.

[mercymechap]

51. looks like the basket is

trying to get away from him! LOL!

[Kablooie]

52. It's important that the president knows how to shop for the country's dinner.

[GP6971]

53. So how did he pay for

His groceries?. The answer is below

A Debit card? Nah........doesn't! Rember his pin #

B Credit card? Nope.....has to show ID

C Check?. Nah......takes too long and too inconvienent

D Cash? Maybe. But the Secret Service fronted the money

The real question is did he check his balance to see if he could afford the purchases like most of us do? I!m guessing not..

The real answer is E. Open purchase order to Bain

[Amonester]

54. Plastic bags are TOXIC waste!

Is robmehood recycling them?

[grahamhgreen]

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]
