Title: Rich people like Romney only carry hundred dollar bills

As he worked the tables at Brewery Bar, a Mexican joint in an Aurora strip mall, Romney was loose and appeared at ease, posing for pictures, signing baseball hats and dipping into a bowl of guacamole.

At one table, a boy offered Romney a $1 bill that he had folded origami-style for good luck. The candidate happily accepted it, but then rifled through his wallet looking for money to give the boy in return. Romney had a $100 bill, but evidently did not want to give that away. An aide handed him a $1 bill, but Romney said that wasn't enough.

Then, deep inside his leather billfold, Romney found a $5 bill. "We'll give you an Abraham Lincoln back," he said, handing it to the boy.

Last I checked our current president is rich too.  I bet he's got 100 bills in his wallet as well.

Maybe we should teach them about technology and how dirty money is.

Money is full of germs.  Give me your money and play it safe.

There's got to be a newer one.

The prophesies on them, the cocaine, the sparkles and stripper oil...just like a televangelist.

I hear he's on a fixed income.

Perhaps he knows how to fix income?

I tend to like people who are better at making money than they are at spending it.  Hmmm.  :-\
