I watch this jerk says "you should donate money to help with relief of Sandy's storm"! Yeah, like we will be able to take it off our taxes, if he was president? Do not take me wrong, I will donate to the Red Cross, but the jerk is tell us to this and he want to stumps for this during a declared emergency! He says we need a president who is responsible? Well, we have one!!!!!!!!!

Mitt wants disasters to be handled by private charities and not the federal government. There might not be much support from charitable contributions in a given area. Are we just a group of private enclaves that either respond or don't respond to national disasters haphazardly? Or are we a unified nation that responds to every citizen's misfortune equally, no matter how rich or poor a region in which they are localized or how remote their region might be.
