Remember that great photo of a pizza shop owner lifting Obama up off the ground in a bear hug? Well I can’t think of a more perfect counterpart for that photo that this one, taken at a Denver-area Chipotle and posted to Twitter by political reporter Andrew Kaczynski.
Reports the Washington Examiner:
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney took a break from debate preparations to get lunch at a Chipotle (che-POHT’-lay) Mexican Grill in Denver.
Romney shook hands with a worker behind the counter and posed for photographs with several workers during the unscheduled visit on Tuesday.
I’m convinced that this photo never would have happened if the internet didn’t exist. Like, this dude just knew that by posing in a goofy manner with a presidential candidate, he’d be turning himself into a meme, a DIY viral sensation. And you know what? Good on him. We approve wholeheartedly. And his memeification has already begun.
Maybe ole Mittens just won the support of another member of the growing “Blacks for Romney” movement?

That gif hypnotized me for a minute.
the black vote for romney vid was just watched 5 times in a row by this cracker….
It’s definitely worthy of multiple viewings.
[www.facebook.com] I will just leave this here
Ask him yourself >_<
Does is look like the Mexican girls hands are bound together to anyone else?
Lmao, it does. He probably had them deported after this pic. I as a minority would never take a pic with a man like Romney
That Chipotle was in serious need of a real diversity hire. Thanks, Mittens.
Wow…like someone cares about the black vote.
YEA, lets give a crap about 13% of the populations who is 80% of the population of prisons in America. That makes sense!!
You people are stupid if you think they matter.
Sounds like your voting for David Duke…again
I can’t tell if what percentage of racist this comment is…like 50%?
13% is quite small…when you are basing that percent out of an actual 100. 13% of 75% of the country (estimate on voting eligibility) is quite large. Almost 30 million people. So to say that 30 million people can’t swing a vote actually makes you the idiot.
Also, fuck off.
Damn! Bill Belamy is working at Chipotle.
Not yet…one more callback, but he feels good about his chances.
“Don’t worry guys, I’m cool, I’m just like you, my dad was Mexican. Well, I mean he was born in Mexico, like just your dads. Well, no, he’s white, but that still counts with you doesn’t it? Guys? Guys where are you going?”
