MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Mitt Romney was about a minute into an answer about his commitment to fighting the global spread of AIDS and health care diplomacy on Wednesday when a waitress behind the counter yelled out a question.
"What about our nation? How 'bout the USA? C'mon!" yelled Michele Griffin, a 12-year veteran behind the counter at one of Manchester's most famous eating establishments.
She turned to walk away, but the former Masschusetts governor and Republican presidential candidate called her back, sparking an emotional and confrontational 10-minute exchange about health care and the needs of the working class. The already hot diner got even hotter fast.

I can't get the video to work, SPB :(
I was not to shocked. But this did show that Mitt a good choice for a President. I felt he treated the lady like it was her problem. He refered to his state. Then he didn't talk to her eye to eye he yelled across the room. He dismissed her concerns. The stab in the heart was after she explained her medical cost with three children/ two of them really sick, Mitt talked about how he would give medician and health care to Africa. Now that was the end of that.
Don't get me wrong I do believe in helping but take care of home first. The meeting was like a rich person telling a poor person what he has that you don't.
