Gov. Romney did this publicly, in my view, to make the case that he cares about the little people. It demonstrates how sensitive he is to the recent Bain criticism.

Of course everyone and their brother is now going to be asking him for cash. He must turn them down, which will defeat his objective of appearing big-hearted. I presume that he didn't think this through.

It shows how ham-handed he is then.

Just like the $10,000 BET and the embarrassing debate admission:

"Buyout baron," career-election-loser Romney has already said on television interviews that he would not cut taxes for those making over $200,000 (i.e. he basically endorsed the Obama tax plan) because since he is a rich guy, the voters would perceive him as helping his rich buddies if he did that. You can sort of see where Romney gets his principles. You can also see why he loves socialism so much...it helps him reform his image as a heartless Wall Street tycoon.
