Mitt Romney makes a stupid Wager of 10,000 in the middle of a Republican Candidates Debate. He is showing off about his riches and fortune. The man is arrogant, a braggart and boaster about his fortune.

Mitt Romney's Honor Is Worth $10,000 and Not a Penny More
Some excerpts :
They're scoring cheap points by pretending that Mitt Romney doesn't understand the value of a dollar -- like he throws wads of it around just to bully people about nothing.
And they're inciting all kinds of unpleasant class warfare by pointing out that $10,000 is a pathetically small amount of money to Mitt Romney.
But they're missing the point.
It's about honor.
Let's say Rick Perry is lying about Mitt Romney and insulting his character (by hinting that one edition of a book Romney wrote says health insurance is good). If you were a normal man, and another man kept brazenly and systematically lying about you and insulting your character, and you asked him to stop, and he didn't -- you'd probably threaten to punch him in the nose.
I mean, if something really important was at stake. Like leading the free world.
But Mitt's not a man of violence. That's why he sat out Vietnam in France. All Mitt Romney cares about is money. So when you've pushed Mitt Romney so far that he's actually willing to risk money on a bet? That's like running over Mad Max's family, to you and me.
If all you ever thought about in your life was money, and how to get more, telling someone to eat their words or give you some is like Rock Hudson fighting the racist at the end of Giant.
