The Grapes of Wrath

Unemployment has been hard on Mitt Romney. Why with all the 100 dollar bills in his wallet, Mitt couldn't find a 1 spot to give to a young boy.

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.

I don't know about you, but Mitt having trouble finding a bill worth less than $100 reminds me of Henry Fonda's "I'll Be There" scene from the Grapes of Wrath.
