Romney and His Wallet

Do you have a few one dollar bills in your wallet or purse?  Most of us do---- except for Mitt Romney.

Washington Post:

....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.... 

Wasn't it just a few days ago that Romney was joking that he too was unemployed?  How many unemployed people you know have hundred dollar bills in their wallets?
