All we've been hearing from Romney is about how he's so genuine and capable because he ran some fucking chop-shop and made rich people richer. Turns out when the shit hits the fan all he can manage is 5k worth of pasta and changing the banner at a campaign event.

The man has a small fortune, has he organized a charity drive with his rich buddies? Of course not, moving their money into the US would relieve it of it's tax-exempt status. Better bitch about the relief effort to make Obama look bad.

With respect to the hurricane that just hit the East Coast and the federal government's response to it under his leadership, he is. He and Governor Christie both discussed their implementation of a 15 minute rule among their various state and local response teams today, making sure calls are returned and requests for aid are met promptly and with an affirmative yes. He has also ordered the military to take an inventory of C-130 cargo transport planes and other assets to begin shipping relief supplies to the affected communities this afternoon.

Neither of the men (Rmoney or Obongo) should have gone to the coast.

If they really wanted to help they would have just donated money, food, clothing w/e and stayed away.

Well that's a fucking stupid response. Just last week Christie was playing party politics and shitting all over Obama, and this week he realized Obama isn't the Kenyan devil he was led to believe and is singing his praises. And that's AFTER Obama made the reliefs effort easy for Christie.

The stimulus was necessary. Every economic metric shows growth in GDP that otherwise wouldn't have existed without it. Any Republican would have done the same thing.

Wait, let me guess. You're not a republican but a paultard who would much rather prefer America go through a severe economic collapse so it can "learn its lesson".

Holy fuck. Thank God we will never see a Libertarian president.
>>
>>6763568

I don't check Nate Silver very much. I think his prediction models are interesting and his statistics have a history of being pretty damned accurate over the last couple of elections, though, so I wouldn't write off what he's reading in the tea leaves right now so quickly.

It is a volatile election year, though, so I don't take much comfort in anything I see with a percentage attached to it.

It was a photo op. Obama (and Rmoney) went there to look good and to help out.

But, as President of the United States of Murrica, Obama has more important things to do. Hugging people and handing out canned food should be lower on his list of priorities.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear.

Man shoot, just imagine. The folks that got effected by this storm don't even have to worry about work for the next month or so due to businesses being flooded. And the unemployed who are collecting unemployment benefits actually have an excuse to not look for work.

But worst of all are the people who ordered packages via eBay or Amazon or some other internet site and now have to wait till the water clears to get their packages. That's gotta be the worst.

Really wish a huge storm occurred in the west coast as well. That'll distract bill collectors for awhile as well as give me an excuse to not look for work as well.
