Lies about the auto industry and ethics charges... seems he was holding the auto bailout hostage in a vulture capitalist tactice where he profited $115 million... willing to put the US economy on the skids if he didn't make a fortune... that's why he doesn't want anyone to see his 2009 taxes...
Do you really think the president should have been loading Hamburger Helper and Pampers onto trucks instead of what he was doing - such as getting the really big help to the affected areas?
That was a joke question, wasn't it? Silly me - I almost fell for it.
It wasn't a joke question. Does he have blood running through his veins? Is he human?
Doesn't matter he's the POTUS IMO.
The agencies do all the work on one command by the POTUS (wow such time consuming work), he has the time if he wanted to. What happened, he can't multi-task?
If Romney was POTUS he would've been criticized with this discussion - and not maybe or no.
Logistics - you must be watching MSNBC, which ignored that Romney shipped the goods himself on his bus and rented trucks -- so there was no packaging nightmare for the Red Cross and the distribution center they were sent to said they welcomed the gifts.
MSNBC is worse than Fox when it comes to spin.
Certainly not worse than fox, since spin is not as bad as outright lies. In case you haven't noticed, MSNBC, Current TV, and other "liberal" media merely stand up to the Fox bully.
So you don't have a care about the phoniness of Romney - well okay, he's your guy no matter what. Handing out anti-Obama literature at a "charity event" where he is sure not to dirty his hands or break a sweat. Yes, a "severe conservative" for sure.
Some interesting numbers:
** A person making $8 per hour - slightly higher than the current $7.25 federal minimum wage (which republicans despise, since they want the "greedy" American worker to compete with the Chinese) would need to work for 1,301 years to earn Romney’s annual income.
** If Romney worked 40 hours a week for 50 weeks out of the year that would be 2,000 hours worked a year. $20 million divided by 2,000 comes out to $10,000 an hour.
Nice salary for working at a "charity event" alongside unpaid volunteers. Republican bliss.
Now neanderthal righties will accuse me of being "anti wealth" - but just use your brain a little bit and try to figure out my point.

It was actually the words from the Red Cross telling people not to take Romney's example and donate money instead. Did the Romney team travel to Jersey and hand the props they bought at WalMart out themselves too? It's not a swing state, so I doubt it.
"0"bama went to NJ as a photo opportunity to play the part after almost 4 years in this highly visible catastrophe to portray to the drones that he's being presidential and for help to his possible re-election. He surely wasn't this when he sat there to see Americans die overseas.
You sound like a Right Wing Nut Job. Oh wait, you are one!

You still didn't answer my question on why he can't do anything by himself to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy! Why can't he help load trucks like Romney did? Go ahead give me a BS response to this and try to slant me again of being an American.
No slant, just a straight shot to your anti-American skull. You are no American - you don't care for your fellow man. Pathetic.
No photos of the donation actually being delivered to the Red Cross? Romney's event was in Ohio and "Romney's campaign told reporters that a Red Cross warehouse in New Jersey was accepting the donation." How did they get it there? Campaign staff spent over 6 hours driving to New Jersey? Why not load up at a closer Walmart?
"Think Progress reports that campaign aides reportedly went to a local Wal-Mart and bought up approximately $5,000 worth of similar 'donations' for display purposes. At the close of the event, Romney supporters lined up and began handing the supplies to Romney, and for a meet-and-greet.
Those supporters who arrived without donations, or who dropped off their donations elsewhere, were pointed to a pile of groceries that volunteers had stacked up close to Romney."
I really wonder what the ultimate fate of that truck stuffed with "donations" was. Did no one track it to ensure its contents got to the people who needed it?
I am an Independent/Moderate (Centrist for you simple people). I am NOT Democrat or Liberal. Nice try though, sparky.
Again you're spelling the President's name wrong, its Obama with the letter O and NOT the number 0.
Christ - I thought conservatives had an education?
You'll get over it, I did.
The main reason the RWNJ's utilize the 0 is to try to make supporters of the president feel less than human beings, they believe it's cute, and adds creedence to their sick points of view.
Even though I disliked Dubya (43) I don't think other people who disliked him really hated him as much as they do this president.
