Mitt Romney REFUSES To TALK ABOUT FEMA After Hurricane Sandy Event

[Segami]

DON'T LET MITT PIVOT on his previous FEMA position. They are trying!!





Mitt Romney refused to answer reporters' questions about how he would handle the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), after a Tuesday "storm relief" event in Ohio for Hurricane Sandy.


From the Romney pool report:

TV pool asked Romney at least five times whether he would eliminate FEMA as president/what he would do with FEMA. He ignored the qs but they are audible on cam. The music stopped at points and the qs would have been audible to him.

A follow-up report noted the specific questions Romney ignored, as he was collecting hurricane supplies following his event:

"Gov are you going to eliminate FEMA?" a print pooler shouted, receiving no response.

Wires reporters asked more questions about FEMA that were ignored.

Romney kept coming over near pool to pick up more water. He ignored these questions:

"Gov are you going to see some storm damage?"

"Gov has [New Jersey Gov.] Chris Christie invited you to come survey storm damage?"

"Gov you've been asked 14 times, why are you refusing to answer the question?"

1. He wants to privatize FEMA. He wants people to have to pay for

assistance during natural disasters.

I'm surprised they even asked him, but good for them. They should keep asking until he can no longer refuse to respond. And if he still doesn't, they should include in their reports that they DID ask him, they should report on what he already said during the primaries, and then report on his refusal to respond to their questions.

3. The FEMA issue will provide the final requiem for Mitt.

2. This would be the way the country would be run if Willard was president

Willard, 'I don't have to tell you anything!'

4. Mitt is on the wrong side of history

Against FEMA? What kind of jerk would be against FEMA? Egads Mitt is such a loser.

5. Good. The more he dodges, the more they will pursue it

The problem gets bigger and more widely reported.

8. They should have been doing this with the tax issue.

It may be too little, too late.

12. Obama dictating the issues and putting Rmoney on his defensive heels 1 week before election day

is NOT too late at all. Treat this last week as football's 2 minute warning, you have the ball with all your time outs and you're ahead in the score. You control the clock and now throw into the mix a no-huddle strategy to keep their defense tired and disoriented.

We own the clock now and should keep driving until we run it out.

6. I sense his pool reporters turning against him.

That can't be good and refusing to answer questions about a current natural disaster is not good either.

7. CNN just did a segment on Robme's 2011 statements on Fema

9. Why should he? He's above us peasants and he's running for office for Pete's sake! nt

[Lucinda]

11. These are not "gotcha" questions. He should be able to defend his beliefs.

And he should be answering.
I still wouldn't agree with him if he did, but the lack of response is a lack of leadership.

13. The truth IS-

He doesn't dare answer, He already has sunk himself with his sandy response,Which all can see is a self serving crock by a cynical narcissistic ego maniac, Without regard for the true damage that has befallen thousands, OOPS i forgot it's only the lowly 47%

14. HUGE K & R !!!
