Romney campaign reverses position; Actually, he does like FEMA now

[ashtonelijah]

“Gov. Romney believes that states should be in charge of emergency management in responding to storms and other natural disasters in their jurisdictions,” Romney spokesman Ryan Williams said in a statement. “As the first responders, states are in the best position to aid affected individuals and communities, and to direct resources and assistance to where they are needed most. This includes help from the federal government and FEMA.”

From the Daily Kos.

2. Well you knew that flip flop was coming.

3. The quote you provide doesn't support your claim.

He is still talking about states being responsible for helping affected individuals.

6. He says FEMA is part of the process

Read the second half of the quote. He says it should be handled by the states, but that FEMA and the federal government are a part of that process.

Which is a big jump from saying, let's get rid of FEMA.

9. With a "help" from FEMA?

How much budget would be cut from FEMA under Romney?

4. To "coin" a phrase

Like a coin when flipped this character, Mitt (shudder) has two sides, heads and tales. The head don't think and the tales is what we get when he is caught in his (almost?) lies.

5. My only hope is Tom Corbett does not play politics with damage recovery

and put Philly last on the list for power line repairs in PA.

7. Flip flop, flim flam!!!!

Mitt's head should be spinning around like Linda Blair in The Exorcist.

8. Yawn.

Wow.

What is wrong with this guy?

I mean, it's not even that he flip-flops,
but that he has no concept that nobody listens or believes.

Why bother, Mitt?
We already KNOW you're going to flip-flop.
