Omg. Is that the Stanley Dunham (whatever) woman? I’ve never seen that pic before.

Of course not. But there will be a reaction of people who either like the action or not. It is always like that.

People on both sides are giving him such a hard time about this. If I saved or helped save a couple of folks, then heck yeah, I would want some sort of momento of the occasion. To ask the victim’s family to pose with him might be a bit much, but standing next to the twisted wreck hurts no one. We can all say, you should not show pride of self, but most don’t follow that rule in every instance. One of Jon Huntsman’s glamorous daughters wants Josh Romney to run for office and challenge a Tea Party candidate next year. Both families Romney and Huntsman are related as cousins. Maybe Josh is using this to start the publicity campaign. I thought it was Mitt in the photo at first. They are like clones.

If you run your life by what others think of you, you’re already half dead.

You have some rather unusual friends if one of their immediate reactions to your helping some unfortunate inividuals after a car crash is “Hey, JennysCool, stand over there and let’s get a picture of you”.

Freegards,

Hmmm, but was it a good deed done in secret, or a deed done publicly?

Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.” (Matthew 6:1-4)

I’d say Mr. Romney has the reward he wants—public attention, admiration and discussion of his deeds.

And now Ann Romney, who was supposed to hate campaigning, is out hocking an odd sort of time-warp cookbook.

Mother Jones does the research on it:

Once you had ascertained everybody was okay and your friend (or wife, or whoever) wanted to take a pic of you at the scene ... Really, would you have done any different? This obviously media-generated “controversy” is ridiculous.

I can honestly say it would not have ever crossed my mind.

It simply comes across as someone who is patting himself on the back.

Horrible behavior, no, lack of character, maybe.

Unfortunately, usually the type of thing typed by a person at their computer ... who has no deeds at all.

Would you have adopted a dramatic scowl and perhaps made the symbol of the cross?

Looks like Josh is no stranger to tweeting his deeds: Josh Romney ‏@joshromney 22 Oct With family in Peru doing charity work. Here's a great pic of my dad giving eye exam. http://CharityVision.net pic.twitter.com/wHeCE2PWfe And implying that he's royalty: Josh Romney ‏@joshromney 22 Oct With family in Peru doing charity work.

Remember that Willard equated his boys helping him on his “campaign” was equal to serving in the military (of course, no member of the family has put on the uniform for generations, including his healthy and strapping boys).

Good Lord. There is a lot worse pictures of Obama’s mama out there. That one is tame by comparison.

At least the British royal family serves in the military!

No, I wouldn’t. And just how much did he ‘save’ these people?

If you’re a son of a narcissist, it might occur to you to take pictures to document your good deed.
