I'm actually a little upset with Mitt's lame response. I mean, why was he suggesting that this woman should call Big Government just because her house was submerged? I think there were a number of better ways he could have handled it. You know, he could have joked around with her a bit, something like, "What's the matter? The trailer doesn't float? Hey, next time attach some pontoons."
I'm sure that would have brought a grin to her face.
As for individual responsibility, yeah, that welfare queen shouldn't have been living in a flood plain. Or at the very least, kept a yacht handy, like I do. I keep this little baby on call whenever I'm down in the Caribbean:
Mitt's got a pretty nice one himself. Since he bought it in 2009 during the mortgage crisis, he christened it
The Foreclosure Mill. He took it down to the Dominican Republic last winter for a week-long fact-finding tour with Rush Limbaugh, David Vitter and a number of other prominent family-values Republicans:
But now that we're about to appoint Mitt president, he's thinking about upgrading. I know he's got his eye on this beauty, which he's named
Let Them Eat Cake:
About those non-American "flags of convenience" flying on both Mitt's yacht and mine - hey, keeping it registered in some banana republic is a great way to avoid those Marxist taxes imposed by Obama. As job creators, Mitt and I work hard, and there's no reason why we should have to pay ruinous taxes - or any taxes - just because some socialist trailer trash want free roads and schools.
By the way, Mitt is also selling his little place out on The Hamptons, in case any you folks are interested. It's a steal at $7.8 million. Nothing wrong with it, but with becoming president and all that, Mitt realizes he's gonna need a bigger place. This yard barely has room enough for a helicopter landing pad, let alone
Air Force One:
I actually think he should have shown this photo when that welfare queen was whining about her submerged house. Not she she's gonna buy it or anything - I'm sure she'll just take about another sub-prime loan for a place in a trailer park that Bain Capital will foreclose on anyway. But Mitt should have taken the opportunity to show the photo when the TV cameras were rolling, so everyone would know that he's just a regular guy with a lawn to mow. That's the way to connect with conservative voters, who worship the rich, and think that their Wal-Mart jobs are just a temporary inconvenience until they win the lottery.
