Obama was at the Iowa State Fair yesterday and decided to buy beer for people. There was a guy with a Romney sign nearby and Obama said, "I’ll tell you what, except for Romney sign, I’ll buy beers for ten people."
(The article says he was spending his own money, which is presumably why he limited it to ten people. When it's our money he's spending, he sees no need for restraint. And yes, I realize that even the money in his wallet is our money since he's never earned an honest dollar in his life.)
It struck me that this is exactly the opposite of what he should have done (no surprise there). A person with cleverness, class, or grace (none of which he is burdened with) would have bought the beer for the Romney supporter and done it cheerfully and graciously. (You'd especially expect this from the man who keeps claiming to be the great uniter!) It would have shown class and brains and would everyone would have been talking about how gracious he was. Even the Romney supporter would have gone away somewhat impressed by the man and probably have told others.
