Mitt Romney: Go call someone who cares!

[Godfly]

What was Obama doing when the Christians of louisiana were being ravaged by a hurricane? By all accounts he was wringing his hands and laughing maniacally. Mitt Romney on the other hand rolled up his sleeves and tried to help. Even taking the time to tell one woman "go home and call someone who cares."

That's advice she can take to the bank.

I agree it was great the way Mitt handled the visit. He didn't put on a pair of jeans and throw sandbags the way most politicans do.

When politicans do this they get sweaty and invaribly their hair spray fails making them look unkept. Mitt looked clean and cool during the whole visit--very presidential.

I'm a bit disappointed. She explained to Romney that she has chosen to live outside the levees, and that her home was submerged because they closed the floodgates and "flooded us out".

Romney showed plenty of compassion in suggesting she go back to her underwater home and call (via cell, I expect) 211 for assistance from the people who closed the floodgates and flooded her home, but where is the personal responsibility?

She has chosen to live outside the levees! That's like me deciding not to have a roof on my house, then complaining when all my stuff gets wet!

Re: Mitt Romney: Go call someone who cares!

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.

I am concerned that Romney may not be able to defeat Obama.

If Christ lifted His protection from George W. Bush and allowed Obama to defeat him using voodoo, how can we expect a Mormon to win?

Re: Mitt Romney: Go call someone who cares!

I am bit shocked he even bothered to talk to that woman. Romney's job was to look at the big picture, not glad hand with the trash like he did. You certainly didn't see Bush waste time with the trash.

Actually, if that woman would just accept Jesus, she would understand that God loves her and is trying to kill her. He sent a flood so that she could be in Heaven early and not have to wait for The Rapture. God does this periodically for the poor folk, but they just don't seem to get the message.

Listen, if any of you trailer trash are reading this, please understand this:

God wants you to die!



It's for your own good really. For one thing, it's the only way you're ever going to be able to pay off your credit card debt. Though thanks to new legislation we just got passed last week, your kids inherit your debt - but hey, at least you don't have to pay. Plus the new law allows credit card companies (like mine) to operate privatized debtors' prisons. We may be able to move some of our factories in China back to the USA, creating jobs for Americans. I'm talking quality jobs, like electronics assembly, chemical waste processing, coal mining, etc. Thus, if you die, your kids will have great new employment opportunities with on-the-job training, free room and board, etc.

Really, next time the Lord sends a flood, fire, tornado, earthquake, etc, to your neighborhood, just do the decent thing and die already. And remember, Jesus loves you and promises a big reward in Heaven - at least some free coupons for Wal-Mart shopping or something.


A reward awaits you in Heaven, but hurry - limited time offer!
