LOL, the truth about Mister 1%'s staged photo op:
Mitt Romney’s “relief rally” yesterday rang more like a typical campaign rally, except for the oddly similar stacks of food and water he photo-oped himself loading into a truck after the event.
Act like you brought this and hand it to me...
Want a photo-op with Mitt Romney just after Sandy made landfall in New Jersey?
Just grab a pre-purchased jar of WalMart peanut butter and hand it to him at his “Victory Rally” “Relief Rally”.
Heck, “Just grab something.”
It’s not as if it matters what it is, because this is all just a Big Show.
Today we discover that those supplies at the Romney “Relief Rally” were not all random donations but rather buttressed with $5,000 worth of goods purchased by a desperate campaign as props.
The campaign planned to photo op Romney accepting food from supporters and loading a truck with food after the event, but what if no food showed up?
"
But the last-minute nature of the call for donations left some in the campaign concerned that they would end up with an empty truck. So the night before the event, campaign aides went to a local Wal-Mart and spent $5,000 on granola bars, canned food, and diapers to put on display while they waited for donations to come in, according to one staffer."
The campaign confirmed that it “did donate supplies to the relief effort,” but would not specify how much it spent.
