Mitt Romney goes incognito at Costco

Dec. 4, 2012 3:34pm Meredith Jessup

The celeb stalkers of TMZ spotted Mitt Romney at a Costco in La Jolla, Calif., this week. It looks like the Romneys were doing a bit of Christmas shopping:

TMZ noted that Romney purchased some toy cars that are — gasp! — manufactured in China! ”Of course, Mitt railed against China during his bid for the presidency … claiming the country is manipulating currency and stealing American manufacturing jobs,” the site railed. And then the hard truth set in: “We tried to find some American-made toy cars that Mitt could’ve bought instead … but we couldn’t … not even Hot Wheels … they’re manufactured in China and Mexico.”

My heart goes out to Mitt and Ann Romney. They fought long and hard throughout the campaign and did everything with class, dignity, and grace. It is truly a shame the liberal media did everything they could to portray this couple in a negative way. I am proud to have supported Mitt Romney, may God continue to bless him along with Ann and their family.

I can’t imagine HRH Michelle pushing a shopping cart.

  Neither can I. Pushing a cart at Costco is way beneath it for Moochelle.

Well one thing is for sure…. The folks that feel for all the bs about Romney not being a normal kinda guy; he does not relate to the common man… well, time will tell for the brain washed folks out there. God Bless the Romney’s. All these recent photo ops definitly can set up the common man image in 4 yrs…

Have you tried to buy anything that ISN’T made in China? Everything is made in China!

The left just can’t leave Romney alone after their usual destruction of good character. How about leaving him be and giving him the privacy he and his family deserve.

The Costco wrapping paper is good stuff. Really a quality product.

I’m glad that they are trying to move on and be “normal” people. You don’t have a lot of money by hiring people to do meaningless jobs you can do yourself, like shop at Costco

Gee, the left stream media who snarked how the Romney’s probably send “the help” to do their day to day tasks are now stalking them, only to find they do get their hands dirty like everyone else. Their writing and posting these pictures doesn’t fit their narrative of the privileged Romneys, so I wonder why now. How ’bout we just let them get on with their lives.

  They can’t stop trying to make Romney look bad. If he was President we would not be in this mess. Obama can’t or just won’t even negotiate the economy. Romney could have saved us.

It would have been nice if Mitt got some of this positive ‘common man’ press BEFORE the election.
