Romney Donates $5 Million of His Personal Fortune to Help Storm Victims

Na, I'm just kidding. Instead he demanded a small group of 16 year olds steal cans of tuna and boxes of macaroni and cheese from their parents. He is the personification of not giving a shit.

Here, enjoy some pictures of Mitt Romney with a tiny face before this joke of a man finally fades into obscurity

it could effectively counter at least half the bump the president will get for being a leader during a crisis.

All by himself. Remember their convention? If people on the east coast didn't have the foresight to become billionaires so that they could afford to have their houses flooded then they don't deserve any help.

What he is willing to give them is words of advice about how they can use "this little setback" as an opportunity to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. They will thank him later for his "tough love".

Don't give him ideas.

Romney could have won this election if he had proactively, after Delphi ownership held up the Treasury Department for big bucks to complete the auto bailout, had given all that he made to the Treasury. He could then say that was why I am against bailouts - Delphi should not have benefitted from extorting GM/the Treasury.

He just doesn't think like that though. The day after the election somebody should ask him if he filed an amended return to claim the non-profit deduction he foregoed.

We are part of that 47% that he doesn't care about. Everything being said here is just a black void to Romney's people.

And brings me in mind of that issue over dictatorships where they will do something great for one person and win the love of the many, a la Eva Peron. But yet it is not effective. That's why we want government behind the safety net, since it treats all equally ( or is at least supposed to) - noblesse oblige cannot do that or even handle the problems - even the rich don't have enough money to help everyone in need.

Helping others? Giving to those in need? Giving away your own money? I'm sure Comrade Stalin would be very proud of you!
