Romney (Not) to the Rescue

[bondwooley]

Mitt showed us just how incompetent he is in a disaster when he rounded up a can drive for the Red Cross - who let him know it's the wrong thing thing to do.

While the Red Cross, which has been raising money even longer than Jerry Lewis -- if that's possible -- expressed tepid gratitude for the donation, the organization makes it abundantly clear on its website that this kind of donation "impedes the valuable resources of money, time, and personnel" because it has to be processed and dealt with. What they really want is donations of blood and money. Money allows the relief team that's working on the ground -- the only folks who can see what's really going on in real time -- to decide whether the millions of victims without homes, power and/or medicine really need tomato puree, or, say, insulin. And then go out and buy it. From somewhere close.

So this poll at the Huffington Post is asking:

Imagine it's two years from now and a Katrina- or Sandy-like disaster hits the U.S. Given what we know about him, how would a President Romney make sure that the innocent, needy victims are taken care of? What steps would he take first?

- Provide immediate FEMA relief for anyone whose second home was damaged?

- Appoint Pat Robertson as "Storm Czar" to root out the gays and Jews responsible for the disaster?

- Keep saying he inherited the disaster from the Obama administration?

What's your guess?
