But not a word about all the death and destruction it brought to the East Coast. I thought this was satire when I read it, but apparently it's the real deal.
I wish the hurricane hadn't have happened when it did because it gave the president a chance to be presidential and to be out showing sympathy for folks.

How nice to know where Mitt's priorities are. I guess if the hurricane had happened three weeks later, Mitt wouldn't have given it a passing thought, because then the hurricane would have only killed people and left many others homeless and destitute. You know, stuff that Mitt doesn't give a fuck about (at best).
And to think that this sack of shit was a few states away from becoming President of the United States. (shudder) My votes for Obama have never looked better.

Or were you only going to create those if we gave you housing?

Ann and I thought we were going to win so I wrote a great victory speech but no
concession speech.
The hurricane would have been O.K. if it had just happened at another time.

Boy did we dodge a bullet in not having Mitt POTUS.

(16,334 posts)and totally worth waiting for! It seemed to me all he did was modify his acceptance speech a little, after he finished crying in the back room.

(5,937 posts)Even many republicans who stayed home, not that may have made a difference but if your own party is less enthusiastic about you then how can you hope to win. Then again, there were stooges like Dick Morris who I'm sure Romeny was dumb enough to listen too who were convinced it was in the bag.
