Not that long ago Hurricane Isaac skirted Tampa ahead of the Republican Convention and shutting down the first day of it.
Now, Hurricane Sandy rips the east coast cancelling a couple of the last days of campaigning and reminding voters that Mitt promised to eliminate FEMA during the Republican debates. (I know, just because Mitt promised to do something doesn't really mean he had any intention of ACTUALLY doing it). And this, all when Mitt's pollsters are reporting a surge in his support.
And its left President Obama looking presidential and Mitt looking, well, less than presidential. And to top it off, even though he had promised to call off campaigning for a couple of days, Mitt (or his handlers) couldn't resist keeping his face in the public and has rebranded his campaigning as "disaster relief," and he's now collecting supplies for some of those 47 percenters that he has great respect for, notwithstanding the fact that the Red Cross has asked for monetary donations, not cans of soup.
Anyway, I figure those donations are headed for a landfill somewhere, while Mitt and Paul Ryan try to come up with some photo-ops, maybe at a soup kitchen. Strike that, already done.
Maybe they could get some Hollywood extras and re-create a disaster scene at some studio back lot and have the two distributing the goods there. MAKEUP!!!!!! ACTION!!!!!!
After all, as long as it looks like you're doing something.....
And I hate to try to supplant Pat Robertson in explaining God's thinking in sending natural disasters, but does anyone else think maybe God is trying to bring the voters around here?
