How is Romney's Hurricane Sandy relief effort going?

[The Bootyking]

I know the Sandy victims are still struggling, and Romney has rightly lead the way in showing private enterprise can solve tragedies like this better than government. Please give ne a link to his ongoing efforts to help those Stoll struggling, the liberal media is not giving out that information.

Probably at the front of the line for relief!Doesn't he own a home in the affected area?

He is trying to help out with the names, as Romney has a binder full of hurricane names.

And he provided another suggestion: "Everyone in the Hurricane's path should immediately make their way to their second or third home." I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message.

Because it shows that Obama handled this worse than Bush would have done for 3 Katrina's. He used Bush as an example with Katrina and then finds out he couldn't do much more.

Reason, thank-you for the info!!!

Oh yeah, the prayer and charity approach...

That's what the Taliban ordered for the ppL whose villages were wiped out in earthquakes in AfganiPak.

Amazing...fanatical minds rant alike, Christo-fascist or Islamo-fascist.

Romney campaign gave Red Cross donation month after election....Campaign gave almost $90,000..

(CNN) —Nearly a month after last year's presidential election, Mitt Romney's campaign donated almost $90,000 to the American Red Cross, federal election filings showed Friday.
The donation also came a month after Superstorm Sandy pummeled the East Coast, coinciding with the final week of the presidential contest. Both candidates were forced to put their campaigns on hold briefly as residents of New York and New Jersey assessed the widespread damage and destruction.

After addressing the crowd briefly, the GOP nominee hopped off a makeshift stage to glad-hand with supporters and collect items as they filed past to donate relief goods like bottled water, canned foods and fleece blankets. After Bashing Romney's Storm Relief Rally, ABC News Reports Sandy Victims Still Need Food November 06, 2012. Turnabout is fair play, judging from the coverage ABC News has given GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's October 30 campaign event which he used to collect money, clothing and food for the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

The first article the network produced on the donation effort was entitled "Aid Organizations Prefer Cash to Canned Food" and criticized the "hastily organized storm relief" as a problem for relief organizations, which "will take canned goods and supplies, but they'd much rather have cash."

The event, which was originally planned as a "victory rally," became a relief drive after the "superstorm" devastated parts of the East Coast. Romney greeted supporters carrying non-perishable items like canned food and drinks.
However, reporter Abby Phillip stated that ABC News had contacted the American Red Cross, which noted that the organization "appreciates the support from the Romney campaign and is working with the campaign to process this donation of supplies."
Romney also encouraged the public to send financial donations to the Red Cross. We encourage individuals who want to help to consider making a financial donation or making an appointment to give blood.

Phillip added that "the Red Cross and other aid organizations like FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) have long said that donations of food, clothing and other small in-kind items force them to divert crucial resources away from relief efforts and toward sorting and cleaning donations."

Nevertheless, the Romney campaign confirmed that their supplies were sent to a warehouse in New Jersey, where they would be processed. And a Romney spokesman added that the campaign has solicited financial donations from their supporters on Twitter and Facebook and a rally in Florida.

Also, Romney made a financial contribution to the disaster relief agency, though the amount of his donation was not disclosed.
Just one day later, an article written by Jennifer Abbey and Cynthia McFadden had a totally different perspective on the relief efforts. "Staten Island officials sounded increasingly desperate today, asking when supplies will arrive," the reporters stated. "They blasted the Red Cross for not being there when it counted." "This is America, not a third world nation. We need food, we need clothing," Staten Island Borough President Jim Molinaro said. "My advice to the people of Staten Island is: Don't donate to the American Red Cross. Put your money elsewhere."

One sign of the severe damage caused by the hurricane is the fact that Molinaro's criticism was made even though the Red Cross and the National Guard had reportedly arrived in the area two days earlier and were indeed distributing food, water and gasoline.
As NewsBusters previously reported, other members of the media harshly criticized the former Massachusetts governor for using his campaign event as a means of collecting items needed by Sandy's victims. One of Romney's sternest critics was CNN anchor Martin Bashir, who slammed the campaign's relief efforts with the help of his guest, Lehigh professor James Peterson.

After showing a clip of President Obama speaking at the American Red Cross headquarters in Washington, D.C., the host turned to Peterson for comment.
I think this is just another moment where you see the clear, striking difference between a president who has a heart for the American people and someone who simply wants to be president of the United States. These comments fly in the face of a Washington Post report that described the Romney event this way: Long white tables to one side of the cavernous James S. Trent Arena were piled high with flashlights, batteries, diapers, toothbrushes, mini-deodorants, fleece blankets, cereal, toilet paper and canned goods.
