It appears in the clip that the camera was just setting on a table, probably in a purse or case of some kind where it would be unnoticed. Well, that seat at the chair cost $50,000. That is what amazes me, someone paid fifty grand to sit at that table and record the event for nearly an hour. I'm glad they did it, but in a time when reporters won't show up at a free lunch to report on what local candidates are saying its good to see someone so dedicated to getting the truth of what the Republicans think of the rest of us out.
To me fifty grand is an amount of money that counts, counts for a lot. But for Romney, for those of his lot, what is fifty grand?

(395 posts)The video looks like it was made from the service area, perhaps left there by one of the waitstaff. Funny how someone who may be part of the working-poor destroyed any chance Romney had of winning. The people at that fundraiser, particularly Romney, probably don't even notice the waitstaff. They're invisible to them. Which is why Romney felt no shame in insulting half the population, including those people who were serving his guests their meals.

(47,675 posts)They didn't have to pay to get in and didn't get paid squat for their service. It was on the far side of the serving table so it makes sense that it would be one of them. They couldn't pay me ENOUGH to serve people who would attend such an event for rMoney.
