"Paul Ryan sprays some water on already washed pots and pans in a lame attempt to appear 'helpful' to a nonpartisan charity soup kitchen which really didn't want him there."
Ryan is in a little hot water or should I say hot soup over an unauthorized visit to a soup kitchen. Ryan was there for a photo op where pictures were taken of him washing dishes. Ryan was not authorized to be on the premises and "did nothing" while there.
"Brian J. Antag, president of the Mahoning County St. Vincent De Paul Society in Youngstown, told the Washington Post that the Romney campaign had not asked to make the Saturday visit to the soup kitchen. He said that he runs an apolitical faith-based organization which has bylaws barring it from hosting political candidates, and that the visit jeopardized donations from private individuals."
"They showed up there and they did not have permission," he said. "They got one of the volunteers to open up the doors." Antag added that Ryan and his family "did nothing" while on the premises.
"He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall," he said."
This guy is just as phony as Mitt Romney. Geezz what a sham.

Wow! A politician doing a photo-op where he pretends to do something? What politician hasn't done this? You dems and reps are getting mighty petty in your bid to get your particular phony in the WH.
Many people are now volunterring in soup kitchens. My hubby and I do it since our church started one. They ask for volunteers and we do it through our church. I would say Ryan and his family are doing the same thing. This goes on all year long. For those who are gripping why don't you find a place to volunteer and help instead of wasting your time here?
My question is: why didn't Ryan do some real volunteer work instead of a photo op? Next, Ryan will pretend to feed the hungry.

I might add: Ryan wasted water and soap at an organization that depends on donations. Why didn't Ryan just get out his checkbook instead?

Because it was a propaganda photo-op. The campaign staff probably thought this one up trying to say to people, oh, look, good 'ol paul is a common man just like you are! not.
