Photo Makes Romney Event Look 'Pretty Boring'

Elspeth Reeve's post about Mitt Romney's post-retroactive retirement activities featured a photo from one of the candidate's campaign stops. One commenter noticed that a man in the background looked less than captivated by Romney's speech. Brian McKeever writes: 

I love how the guy standing right behind Romney in that picture appears to be texting during his speech. Guess it was pretty boring.

Taking a closer look, it's not entirely clear that he's texting. Maybe he's twiddling his thumbs? Or praying that Mitt wraps it up soon? In any case, neither he nor any of the other guys in the background looked as engrossed in the speech as Mitt does himself.

In the interest of fairness, we'll note that Obama has his share of bored listeners, too.
