Over the past week or so, 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has decided to start speaking publicly more. No, I'm not sure why this is either, especially after reading his most recent comments regarding Hurricane Sandy.
When speaking to Neil Cavuto of Fox News this past Friday, Romney said, "I can tell you the hurricane didn't come at the right time."
Earlier in the week, Romney said the following on CNN: "I wish the hurricane hadn't have happened when it did, because it gave the President a chance to be presidential, and to be out showing sympathy for folks. That's one of the advantages of incumbency."
No, Mitt Romney has never been known as a smooth-talker and these preceding comments again showcase that.
The hurricane didn't come at the right time? When was the right time then? When was the "right" time for Hurricane Sandy to kill 159 people and inflict between $50 and $100 billion of damage? Let me answer that question - there was no "right" time for the hurricane to strike.
Okay, perhaps Robot Romney simply misspoke. He didn't mean to imply there was a "right" time for the hurricane to strike. But then why did he say something eerily similar earlier in the week on CNN, when he said, "I wish the hurricane hadn't have happened when it did..."?
What do both those statements imply? The hurricane is more about him than the actual victims of the storm. It's not about over 150 people losing their lives or who knows how many people's homes being destroyed. No, it's about the outside chance that the hurricane helped boost President Obama to an election victory over Mutt Romney. Excuse me, Mutt, but you should have said, "I wish the hurricane hadn't have happened at all."
Romney wonders why he lost the election? It's because of statements like that - showing that he's truly out-of-touch with the majority of people in this country, that he doesn't care about the lower- or middle-class of Americans, and that he has less emotion and empathy than a robot named Indifference.
While Romney's at it, why not make the following statements?
- "Hurricane Katrina just didn't happen at the right time."
- "9/11 didn't come at the right time."
- "I wish the 2012 presidential election hadn't have happened when it did."
