Red Cross had to divert staff to deal with Romney’s phony “relief effort”

Please Ignore the Black Man on the T-shirts

As we warned earlier, because the Romney campaign preferred a political stunt to actually helping Hurricane Sandy victims, the Red Cross is now busy wasting valuable resources processing donations from the Romney campaign that its own Web site admits it does not want.

As you’ll recall, Mitt Romney, after promising not to campaign today, campaigned anyway. And to add insult to injury, he used the pretense of Hurricane Sandy to hold campaign events wrapped in a cloak of “storm relief.”

Not surprisingly, Romney then turned his “relief” events today into what the campaign called “victory rallies,” including a Romney campaign propaganda video and the distribution of t-shirts saying “Obama, You’re Fired!

creeps me out worse than any of the other really stupid, selfish and inane things he's said and done.

It really bothers me that this man is so out of touch and thinks many of the things he says and does (including this fake relief event) are good ideas. I just can't imagine what havoc he would wreak as president. And there are really dumb people who fall for his lies and misjudgments! Yikes!

He simply does not register that other people exist.

You ever seen "behind the scenes" footage of movies like the Star Wars prequels that use a lot of CGI? You know how the actors are looking at a tennis ball on a stick and are trying to act as if they are actually interacting with an actual being?

That's Mitt Romney. We're all tennis balls on a stick to him.

that is probably the most manual work he's done in his entire life.

Wore himself out for an 'I care' photo-op.

Here's hoping he had a miserable day.

which he conveniently ignored. Made him look more dickish than usual. Just had that fake, terse smile plastered on his face. What a nasty man he is. Can't even take questions about his OWN campaign tactics. Hope all those people considering voting for him see THAT.
