Mitt uses tragedy to campaign

[Luddly Neddite]

Just saw that more than half of New Orleans is without power.

Mitt seems to have one talent - stepping in his own poo. Why don't his handlers advise him about how he looks - in this case, the rich white guy staring and pointing at the poor folk.

How about if he takes Ryan with him? That way the people can look at the man who voted against helping when they were hit by Katrina.

Either way, they represent the party of the rich and New Orleans knows it.

 

[Moonglow]

Who would have ever guessed? Mitt, who has no power to do anything, is campaigning in LA while rescue operations are still on going.

He can make really LARGE donations because he is a REALLY WEALTHY guy because he is SUCCESSFUL. He can also have lunch.

so can I. I grow my own food

 

[bodecea]

The White House has not announced any plans to visit the storm area.

Why get in the way?

 

[Moonglow]

But Obama using the Katrina disaster in 2008 to score points was fine, right? Hypocrite much?

It's fine.

Romney is doing a great job.

To help Obama get re-elected.

A Romney administration would be the Katrina Redux.

The Obama Administration has been the end of the US. Longest period of +8% unemployment in US history, highest debt in US history, highest gas prices in US history. We've never seen failure like this - not even from Jimmy Carter or Swallow.

Swallow is just pissed that he won't be able to live off of the American worker any more.

sorry, but gas prices were high during Bush, before the meltdown

Using this logic, Mitt shouldn't go anywhere or do anything cause he's richer than most people, therefore, will always be the "rich guy" talking to/staring at "poor folk."

...and the same can be said for the Obamas cause they're rich too.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

In case the rw's STILL don't know it, Obama has done his job. FEMA is there, rescue is happening now.

In case the rw's STILL refuse to face FACTS, it was the R, including RYAN who voted against helping New Orleans when Katrina hit AND against helping Joplin after the tornado.

The people of New Orleans and Joplin both know who they can count on and its NOT the pubs.

 

[Dr.House]

Truth be told, the OP had an alternate thread prepared had Romney just hit the campaign trail and skipped NOLA after the convention:

"Romney could care less about New Orleans. Prefers to campaign instead."

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Again, something the rw's don't know is that when the president goes into a city, it is actually very disruptive and expensive.

Oh wait - they have complained in the past when President Obama has gone to any and every city on the planet. If he does go, they'll say its a photo op. Even though he does and has arranged for real help for the area, they'll lie about it.

Meanwhile, Mittens, who cannot really DO anything is going to disrupt rescue efforts, cost the area big bucks which should be spent on that local levee that failed - but who cares because it will be a really great PHOTO OP for two of the most useless pubs in the country - nutty Jindal and tits on a pup Mitt.

It's great.

The last time a Republican was in power in the white house, over a thousand Americans died as a result of the storm. And they turned around and blamed those Americans for their own deaths.

Now?

Nothing could provide a more stark comparison.

The majority of those deaths were due to an incompetent Democratic Governor and City Mayor.

Because we all know the "repair the levee" fund and the "Mitt Romney campaign travel" fund come from the same budget line item.

I notice that there are no stories about Jindal screwing up the response, so he must be doing a good job. If he wasnt the lapdog media would be all over it.

Good Idea.

will the Koch brothers be helping NOLA?

Far more than you, idiot. They pay more in taxes than your whole trailer park.

and if he went somewhere else you would comment on how insensitive to the plight of People in LA he is, while you ignore that Obama has been Flying Around Campaigning through the entire storm.

Let me see if I understand this. Three days ago at the beginning of the convention you were whining about how Republicans dont care about the people since they wont halt the convention to help the people. Now that the hurricane is over and clean up begins, Romney is there when Obama isnt and thats a problem for you too?

 

[Ernie S.]

At least he's going.

Where's the (ahem) President?

Sending FEMA in?

He made sure others got rescued UNLIKE our last republican president

Seal team 6 again?

 

[Si modo]

Where the hell is Obama????? He is currently POTUS.

He must hate New Orleans and the South.

That would be the ones who refused to evacuate when TOLD to do so. No ones fault but theirs.

Like I said.

Blaming the victims.

Who would have ever guessed? Mitt, who has no power to do anything, is campaigning in LA while rescue operations are still on going.

Who would have ever guessed? Obama who doesn't know how to solve anything, is campaigning over a year while the nation and the unemployed need rescue.

Over a year? I've got news for you, Obama has been campagining for FOUR years now. That's why the nation has started the slide into complete collapse. He's so worried about buying votes and campaigning, he hasn't had ANY time to be president.

In his defense, he is very good at campaigning. A damned shame he's such a piss poor President.

 

[Sallow]

Seal team 6 again?

When was the last time a President took up arms, personally?

Do you want a last time a President took credit for victory?

And it was a much more expensive show.

 

[Katzndogz]

obama is campaigning in Texas today. He has no plans for so much as a flyover of LA.

Texas is so close to LA, that surely he could have squeezed in a few minutes to take a look.

It was giving credit where it was due for a job well done. Unlike the movie obama is having made to his eternal glory.
