Store closes while Ann Romney shops on Palm Beach's Worth Avenue

Now who thought this was a good idea? Apparently, Ann Romney spent four hours Saturday doing some very private shopping at the very exclusive Alfred Fiandaca Couture store on Palm Beach's Worth Avenue.

Crowley Political Report is puzzled. Isn't the Romney campaignsupposed to be trying to convince voters that they are just like the rest of us?

Not many folks shop at places like Alfred Fiandaca which has stores in Palm Beach, Boston and New York. And not many people have the store closed for them in the middle of a Saturday so they can shop in private for four hours.

According to Shannon Donnelly of the  Palm Beach Daily News - affectionately dubbed the Shiny Sheet - Fiandaca, "closed the store for her so she could shop in peace without any worries about paparazzi grabbing a shot of her in the fitting room. . . .

"The private shopping went well for the wife of the presumptive candidate . . . but for the customers who had “Stop by Alfred’s” at the top of their Saturday to-do list, well, not so much. They had to wait. Some did, patiently and quietly. Others did, not so patiently and not so quietly.

"Finally, Ann strolled out, shopping bags in hand, smiled at the small crowd gathered on the sidewalk, (and) climbed into the big black car. . . "

Note to the Romney campaign - if you want folks to forget that you are building a car elevator for your California home, or the fact that you also have homes in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and convince voters that you are just very fortunate, ordinary neighbors - try shopping at Target.

But don't ask them to close the store for you.

That should be the last of your worries dude.

Did it stop you from shopping there? Doubtful.

But how about when Obama helicopters in to NYC and everything closes down so he can see a Broadway play with his wife?

Or half of DisneyWorld closes down so he can make a speech?

Or the traffic pile up as those who still do have jobs and have to pay for the 50% who don't pay taxes or work or are on the dole because Obama flies in under the guise of official business when it is just a campaign fundraiser.

Speaking of which, you should contact Imperial Leader Obama and ask if he would allow you to one of his $35K per plate fund raisers for free, seeing as he is shutting you out and all.

Idiot.

Are you comparing the President of The United States, and the need for Secret Service to do their job so he can do his official duties to Ann Romney shopping?

His job is not to take in a Broadway show, nor taking oversea vacations. That is not official business. Nor is fundraising official business of the taxpayer.
