Romney is amazed at the touch sreen ordering system at Wawa

You know of Bush 1's apparent disbelief of the grocery store scanners. That was complete BS. It never happened.

However, Romney is clueless. He is amazed at a sandwich ordering system, at a Wawa gas station, that has been around for ten years.

He is a man that writes off $77,000 for a dancing pony (dressage) because it is used for his wifes MS therapy, even though no one has actually seen her on the horse.

He is clueless as to what we go through. He pushes a button in his house and a butler brings a lobster dinner. Mittens personal Wawa.

Northerners have no class ;Wawa? We have Kum & Go's here. That has real meaning.

I really, really, really hate to say this but Mittens got sandbagged on this one. MSNBC edited the hell out of the video, removing the whole context of the remarks about Wawa (convenience stores, by the way, not gas stations). With the context restored, Romney doesn't come off as quite as much of an out of touch frat boy.

Yep. But in today's journalism/politics, it's all about feeding the preexisting narrative. Nuance? Context? Nah, that's for sissies.;)

I will get with Fox News about context in news reporting. :D

I am from South Philly originally. Wawa is a C store that sells gas.

OOPS! You're right! Some do have gas now. That's what happens when you get old. Why, sonny, I remember Wawa Stores in the days before gas stations!

We had one until Congress eviscerated funding for CPB and made it a hostage of their corporate underwriters.
