Mitt Romney has campaign event at Iowa restaurant, snubs owners

Romney held a roundtable discussion at the restaurant prior to his talk in the park. His staff and security ushered Bauer and her husband Earl to a back portion of the restaurant and they were unable to meet the former Massachusetts governor, Dianne Bauer said.

The restaurant has hosted other candidates, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who introduced himself.

“The Secret Service said they would ask to make sure we got to be introduced and get a picture,” Bauer said. “I don’t care as much about the picture but at least let me meet the guy who I tore my place up for.”

Romney's gaffe. They ran some "Romney specials" & others. A lot of people who never visited the bakery before, were showing up just to taste the goodness that is Bethel' Bakery.

BTW, Bethel Park, where the Bethel Bakery is located is highly represented by Republicans.

Romney did a gaffe like the Bakery and Restaurant I would send tray of cookies reminding the campaign office of the gaffe.

Sorry elections can sometimes bring out the worse in me.
