I love that the libs criticize Romney for giving $4 Million to charity and Ryan for helping in a soup kitchen.
Obama & Biden gave almost none of their money to charity before being elected. Apparently rhetoric without action is what impresses libs.
I'll go with the guys who actually give their own money and time.
This is a Ryan photo op. He's not actually helping. That's the difference. This, and Romney's donations are to get elected.
Obamer/Joe Blo are already elected and are trying to govern 'with' the Repubs. The two-party system fails us.
The true problem here is that both of the major parties are partisan homers that only want to win elections, at the expense of our country! But that's another thread....
They both (Ryan and his wife) look so awkward in the photo. The entire scene looks so staged, the pan he is washing looks like he just grabbed a clean pan to pretend he's doing something useful. Having volunteered in large kitchens like that before, it is obvious that these two dorks just put those pristine aprons on mere seconds before they assumed their positions for the cameraman.
What is the point of pretending? It makes them look foolish to do such a pathetic ploy for mock charity. Why don't they come back when there is actually a meal to be prepared and served? I'll tell you why, because it would require them to pull the sticks out of their rear ends and then they might actually come within touching distance of "those" people. God knows they wouldn't ever want THAT to happen.
Yeah. Hardworking Americans are thieves. The real glorious members of our society are the local bankers. You know. The ones who destroyed your retirement account then taxed you so they wouldn't lose their jobs.

I agree, the photo op was quite pathetic, but if the left wasnt running around moaning and groaning because Romney donates a large percentage of his income, I could take their complaints more seriously.
Here's a photo op for you. Taken on September 11, 2012, hours after our Libyan ambassador was murdered by terrorists and his dead body was dragged through the streets. By never mind, that, right? Ryan was washing dishes. OMG, people. I just feel sorry for you and your offspring.
Exactly! Here is obama brushing his shoulder off like a pimp daddy, but that is not a fakey photo op, right? What is real news in this country is that some random blogger thinks the pan was already clean?. Ryan must not believe in conserving water too. Or energy! Plus someone is going to have to wash that apron since he is too selfish to just get his clothes wet! I bet it will have to one of those homeless people who he pretends to want to feed. And he talked to the homeless people without wanting the press to listen in. How shady of him! I bet he was giving them insider trading tips. He should be arrested.
I wish I could get the 15 seconds I wasted on reading that blog back. On second thought, it was fun to just joke about how silly people are getting. Holy moly, what other nonsense can people come up with.
Wait....I wonder if Paul Ryan has ever step on a crack knowing full well that it may break his mama's back? He could just be that rotten. Now there is a Pulitzer Prize winning story.
How pathetic!!! What a sham...running some water in an already clean pan and trying to look like he is giving his time to the poor and indigent, while the Mrs. looks on. I've cooked and did the cleanup at a soup kitchen and believe me, my apron didn't stay starched and blindingly white while doing it. Heck, even the starch in his cuffs is still stiff.....after washing a boatload of pans, that steam would have wilted them in a hurry. Did the Romney campaign actually think this was going to be believable?
This must be part of the new tactic the RNC is pushing: "Romney and Ryan are good men". But it seems to me that Ryan recently called 30% of Americans "takers". I wonder if the homeless folks who accosted him told him to say it to their face.
My church runs a food bank, and I'm one of the volunteers who helps to coordinate it. I come home from working there very dirty and very tired, and even then I don't do nearly as much as some of our other very dedicated volunteers. Faking work at a soup kitchen is as sleezy as it gets--its a let me "con" you into believing that I'm a good guy move. It insults the people and organizations who really do selflessly work to help the poor. Shame on Paul Ryan. What an a$$.
