Surviving Sandy and political rhetoric.

I survived Sandy. (I think. I am still watching for those falling trees) Girlfriend was no joke; she slapped folks around as far South as Jamaica  (pics with this post) and as far North as Connecticut. Most of us were all lucky, this time.

Thankfully I will still be around to speak my mind and piss off folks who have issues with the truth

To all of you sending your best wishes to us folks on the East Coast, that is field Negro behavior on your part. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts. Mitt, please tell your supporters to keep their canned goods; we lots of food, we need FEMA and the federal government to work with local governments to fix roads and bridges, and to get the mass transit systems running again. Don't think we forgot what you said about FEMA, Mitt. I know you tried to ignore questions about it today, but your words won't go away.

"Mitt Romney refused to answer reporters' questions about how he would handle the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), after a Tuesday "storm relief" event in Ohio for Hurricane Sandy.
From the Romney pool report:

TV pool asked Romney at least five times whether he would eliminate FEMA as president/what he would do with FEMA. He ignored the qs but they are audible on cam. The music stopped at points and the qs would have been audible to him.

A follow-up report noted the specific questions Romney ignored, as he was collecting hurricane supplies following his event:

"Gov are you going to eliminate FEMA?" a print pooler shouted, receiving no response.

Wires reporters asked more questions about FEMA that were ignored.
Romney kept coming over near pool to pick up more water. He ignored these questions:

"Gov are you going to see some storm damage?"
"Gov has [New Jersey Gov.] Chris Christie invited you to come survey storm damage?"

"Gov you've been asked 14 times, why are you refusing to answer the question?"
 

He is refusing to answer the question because he is hoping that, like everything else with his charmed -etch a sketch- campaign, we will forget everything he has said to get to this point. The thing about American poli-tricks is that his supporters -and the Obama haters- are going to vote for him no matter what he says or does, and the members of the press will all fall in line for fear of tipping the balance in the elections and ruining the this is a close election narrative that they have worked so hard to craft.

Chris Christie is not helping that narrative by praising Obama for the job he has done with helping the East Coast governors so far. Obama is even appearing with Christie tomorrow to tour areas of Jersey that was slapped around by Sandy. If you are Mitt this cannot be good. You are probably thinking that you should have picked the guy to be your VP, and not the little work out fiend Eddie Munster look alike from Wisconsin.

Mitt will now tell his volunteers not to send any canned goods to Jersey.
