In reply to the discussion: Romney staff disrespectful to hosts, cafe owner said (video) [View all]mike dub
(541 posts)was intended as, Rmoney's Secret Service detail and staffers were (it sounds like from what the cafe owner's saying) very restrictive, and indeed kept her in the back of the cafe, unable to meet the Shittster.
Also it sounded like restrooms were closed off/guests not allowed to use the bathrooms....
So maybe she means -- It was a Big Production ...as if the President were there. But having seen Obama's photo opps, it looks like he's laid back at all of them, relates to the owner of the joint, and any people there, and his detail doesn't seem to piss off the locals. Even Bu$h, in a clip from Fahrenheit 911, actually has his arm around the owner of a restaurant, saying: "I'd comment about (the war) that, but we really want to take someone's order! Stretch, what'll you have?!" Rmoney is just completely detached. Doesn't know basic human decorum or interaction.
The real killer is that he looked at the cafe's chocolate "pastry things" (yeah he didn't even know they were called chocolate doughnuts) and the MOST 1%'er/out of touch thing he said (to a worker in the cafe, I guess) was "Could you see to it that some of those chocolatey things get into our ride?", as if the cafe should load them into his vehicle for him-- as in, **Servant, see to it that the food is loaded in the car.**
At least Obama or Perry- maybe even Bu$h (although diddy didn't know what a bar code reader was in the grocery store) would have pulled out their wallet, ordered a couple chocolate doughnuts, asked to have them to-go, said thanks so much, photo opp with the owner, and left. Rmoney's just Totally Inept.
