Wow, I’m not a big fan of Romney, but does everything he does have to be spun negatively? He did a good deed and he’s still slammed for it.
A good deed? He was pulling a tacky public spectacle.
If he had any class, he’d have done this in private.
He did it to get media coverage. He was doing HIMSELF a "good" deed.
He could have given her assistance privately; it isn't like she just showed up out of the blue.
He did a good deed and he’s still slammed for it.
Romney only thinks of Romney and no one else.
This was NOT a good deed. It was a panhandler brushoff. A good deed would have been an aide looking into her bills and working with her to design an income strategy. THAT would have been a good deed.
Handing her 50 bucks was a particularly ignorant, brazen and outrageously elitist dismissal of the woman's problems.
I agree. Not to toot my own horn but there have been a few (way too few) moments in my life when I have spontaneously given something away whether money or a coat or an umbrella. Whether this was staged or not is between him and his HP and maybe his handlers. We’ll never know. I prefer to think the best of people based upon their observable behavior in the present day.
Mostly because it doesn't change the fact that he's slime who destroyed the economy of MA with his idiot liberal policies while enslaving the people there with a nazi like healthcare policy...just like obama's doing.
