At that infamous $50,000 a plate dinner when Romney made his condescending remarks about the 47%, he also made condescending remarks to the waitstaff. This is what prompted the bartender to release that video.
Obama and especially his beard are extremely rude to staff by many accounts.
Obama can hardly pretend to be a gentleman - he had to buy his own furniture, didn't he? The Romneys, on the other hand, have set themselves up as bona fide members of the American aristocracy, and therefore stand comparison to its standards.
Which part is rude, untrue and condescending? Sorry, I see he used the dirty word "personal responsibility." Romney is such a dirty bag, isn't he? How dare he talk about personal responsibility?
Romney told donors that 47 percent of voters would chose Obama “no matter what” because they are people “who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. … These are people who pay no income tax.
“My job is not to worry about those people,” Romney said. “I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
Whether or not you agree with it ~ it was an extremely stupid thing to say and it cost Romney the election. You can't write off half the populace and expect to be elected President. He has only his own stupidity and his very own 'entitlement' mentality to blame.
I'm glad he said it and I'm glad I heard it. It came from his heart.
I can't believe those of you collecting Medicare and Social Security voted for this. How dare you think you are entitled to Medicare?

What makes it even more funny is of all people, Bill Clinton's role.
Part of why Romney's actions were seen as so bad was because prior to that dinner the guy had done an event with Bill Clinton which was sort of the backdrop context of Romney's interactions.
Unlike Romney, Bill Clinton, in classic Bill Clinton form, went back into the kitchen after the event shook everyone's hand thanked them for the meal, signed autographs and posed for pictures with the waitstaff.
As such, the reason the guy brought the camera in the first place was because of his experience with Clinton and his erroneous belief that Romney might be like Clinton.
Yeah, Romney would make a great Public Servant, wouldn't he?
Even he would be better than what the "takers" elected to represent them.
