It's safe to come out now, Mitt

By Mustang Bobby

Captain Obvious chimes in:

After arguing during the Republican primary that the states should oversee disaster relief efforts, the Romney campaign this week has been slowly carving out a position that does not ignore the federal government's role. The most clarifying comment on disaster relief came late Wednesday in a statement to CBS News.

"I believe that FEMA plays a key role in working with states and localities to prepare for and respond to natural disasters," Romney said in a statement from his campaign. "As president, I will ensure FEMA has the funding it needs to fulfill its mission, while directing maximum resources to the first responders who work tirelessly to help those in need, because states and localities are in the best position to get aid to the individuals and communities affected by natural disasters."

Really goes out on the limb there, doesn't he?

  • Want to know Romney’s advice for storm survivors?
    Don’t be a victim, and stop looking for handouts!
    And.... ask your parents for help!
    Heck, Romney will dismantle FEMA and the EPA 
    (= more $$$ for his people/corporations).
    Leave it to the states, he says.
    Yeah, sure.
    Maybe he'll make us dams.... out of his used Etch-A-Sketches?
    What we need is a tidal wave
    .......of voters.....
    to sweep these kind of guys out of power.
    This is the BEST way to help the victims
    of present and future Sandys.
    AND the best way to help yourself, and your family.
    Obama does not dismiss 47% of America like Romney.
    Obama says: This is not a Republican America.
    This is not a Democratic America.
    This is the UNITED States of America.
    If only the other side would realize that fact!
