A Tale of Two Campaigns: Obama Begs Supporters to Make Calls – Romney Asks Supporters to Make Donations to Hurricane Victims
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 9:54 AM
Barack Obama yesterday begged supporters to make calls for his campaign.
But not Mitt Romney–
The Romney campaign asked supporters to bring disaster relief supplies to the hurricane victims.
The Hill reported:
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan scheduled “storm relief” events Tuesday after previously canceling planned campaign rallies.
Romney will attend an event in Kettering, Ohio, Tuesday morning with race car driver Richard Petty and country music artist Randy Owen. He had previously scheduled a campaign rally at the same site with Petty, Owen, and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday afternoon, but later scrapped the campaign events out of deference to those in the path of Hurricane Sandy.
The Romney campaign did not advise what the event would entail, but a Republican source indicated attendees would be asked to bring disaster relief supplies to the event, and that Romney might give brief remarks.
Ryan, who was originally scheduled to campaign Tuesday in Colorado, instead returned home to Wisconsin on Monday night. On Tuesday afternoon, Ryan will drop by a Romney campaign office in La Crosse, where he will thank volunteers gathering or donating items for storm release efforts. Later in the evening, Ryan is scheduled to stop at another campaign office in Hudson, again thanking supporters.

Yeah, that Romney is just so mean and unfeeling while the ‘Won’ cares…about himself.
The MSM narrative just doesn’t succeed when you compare the two mens’ words to their deeds.

If Obama loses it will be the hurricanes fault.

Biden is from Delaware. He’s already been gamed by R/R. I can’t wait to see his response to his homies.
Oliver commented:
“GET HIS BACK”
Seriously?
Like he did with the 4 Americans in Benghazi?
Patty commented:
And Obama deceived a nation in Libya attacks. Attacks Romney on a daily basis. Obama’s days are numbered he doesn’t represent a leader of any kind, least of a Leader of America.
Media is to blame for his election of 08. They must also be held accountable.
ROMNEY/RYAN

Trail of lies by Obama’s.
Truth in Romney’s.
You have a choice and it is clear: Socialism or Capitalism: You decide.

Obozo actually wanted people in Maryland to work the phone banks in Annapolis yesterday!
This “man” is so selfish and so desperate it defies belief. Seven more days. Seven more days…
Liberty commented:
Romney is a good man who will work to turn this country around. Obama is all about Obama, letting Americans die in Benghzai for his political career.

When the rubber hits the road, there’s no reason to believe he’d do the same for you. Quite frankly, you’re more likely to find yourself in the same company with all the other tools whom he no longer has any use for.
Get his back? No, thanks.

The Right Question Is – “Why?”
by Mychal Massie
Obama took to the cameras for a quasi-press conference to play
president in an attempt to deflect the growing cacophony of
condemnation and questioning pursuant to his handling (or lack
thereof) of Benghazi.
We don’t need the president to tell people to stay indoors, stock
up on bottled water, make sure we have plenty of batteries and
canned food on hand, and to follow the instructions of emergency
workers. That’s the job of the mayors and governors of the states
in the path of the Superstorm Sandy.
What we need from Obama we will never get. We need him to tell
us why he allowed Libyan Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean
Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty to die.
In my September 19, 2012 evening update, which is published daily,
in my very first public comments referencing the Benghazi attacks I
wrote: “ There is more here than meets the eye. I have my suspicions
as to the answers to the questions I’m asking, and, if I’m right, Obama
and [Hillary] Clinton are worse than anything we could have remotely
suspected.”
In fairness, I must applaud the work being done by Fox News reporters
Catherine Herridge and Jennifer Griffin who are doing career-defining
jobs in their coverage and investigation of the murderous Islamic attack
– but even they have yet to ask the two part question that I have been
asking from the first moment I learned of the attack.
The question is not why did Obama, et al, move to cover
up and obfuscate the circumstances surrounding the attack.
The question is why was Stevens allowed to be killed and why were
Smith, Woods and Doherty allowed to become collateral fatalities?
That is the question we need answered. That is the question that
the media isn’t asking.
Obama and Hillary Clinton can do the “two of a kind” two-step, but
the fact remains there isn’t a snowball’s chance in the desert that
they didn’t know and sign off on Stevens being kept in mortal danger.
I know that is something Obama sycophants, and those unfamiliar
with how political decisions are made, will dispute, sobeit – the fact
still remains that no one runs the risk of this becoming a presidential
embarrassment without the Oval Office and State Department being
consulted first.
My suspicions are that Christopher Stevens, who had a long, personal
history with Obama, either knew something he wasn’t supposed to
and/or he was about to become an embarrassment/threat to Obama.
I didn’t make up the facts. Governments take better care of their
ambassadors and consulate staffs than I do my handmade, ostrich
skin, dress shoes. The British had removed their consulate people,
and Stevens had been requesting help in the face of deteriorating
conditions, but still Obama and Clinton chose to keep Stevens there
in a worsening situation that was certain to (and in fact did) lead to
death.
Woods, Smith and Doherty were told to stand down when they
requested help. They were ordered no less than three times to
stand down when indicated their intentions pursuant to getting
Stevens and themselves out alive. Why? They were Seals, they
weren’t shout and shoot weekend warriors.
The wrong questions are being asked by the small handful of reporters
like Herridge and Griffin who are willing to dig for the truth. We don’t
need politicians who are only interested in face-time on the evening
news and soundbites attributed to them. We need action – we need
the truth.
I contend that every investigation and search for truth must begin
with the question, “Why was Stevens allowed to die and why were
Smith, Woods and Doherty set up to be collateral damage?”
If Stevens wasn’t placed in a situation to die then why wasn’t he
pulled out when the British pulled their people? Why did Obama
and Clinton ignore warnings issued by Israel and the Libyan interim
president? Why were the personal requests by Stevens, pleading
for help, ignored? Since when does the official representative of
the president of The United States drive around in a hot zone in
what amounts to the same SUV you and I drive? Why wasn’t he
in a secure vehicle and accompanied by Marines?
There was no question but that Smith, Woods and Doherty were going
to be killed regardless of whether or not they stood down as ordered.
There was no way any of the four were getting out alive.
Obama, Biden, and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta were huddled
in Obama’s office approximately 90 minutes after the attack began.
There were two predator drones sending real-time live feeds back to
anyone with a computer and a mid-range security clearance. Are we
really supposed to believe they weren’t watching those men die?
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I know government, and I know
military. And seeing Obama sprint to the cameras and teleprompters
to tell us that which our mayors and governors are in office to do
is not presidential.
It is the exaggerated behavior of a man watching his
presidency being flushed down the toilets of history.
“Act of Terror”

Obungle doesn’t care about victims of Superstorm — he’s only focused on keeping Air Force One at his beck and call. He’s done nothing to deserve another term — four years of his imcompetent bungling is more than ENOUGH.
