So How Would A POTUS Romney Handled....

[rsmith6621]

..... the events of Tuesday mall shooting in Portland and Fridays horrific tragedy in CT.



.... I dont think quite as well as President Obama has. I dont think there would have been much compassionate from him nor do I think there would have been as much engagement or call to end the violence, I think he would have towed the NRA talking points...

What do you think.


Thank God we have President Obama steering the ship at this time in our nation history.

1. Not well. His phoniness would leak from every pore.

He'd look stiff and awkward and he'd babble a few platitudes and get away as fast as he could.

[sufrommich]

2. "BUY MOAR GUNS!". That's how I think he

would have handled it, just like every other right wing moron who's commented so far.

3. He wouldn't spend time with the families and

if he did, he would embarrass himself with some inappropriate remark.

4. I'm guessing that Romney is happy that he lost today.

He was running to be CEO of America, not to be President of America.

Today, we needed a President, not a CEO.

5. He would have asked NRA what he should do.

[Barack_America]

6. He would've offered everyone jobs.

He would not have handled it well. He certainly would not be advocating gun control.

7. He'd hide out in his car elevator

And order in from Boston Chicken, until it all blew over.

8. "Had those children been in private school, they would still be alive."

[democrattotheend]

9. Fine, probably. But not exceptionally, the way Obama has

He has grandchildren around the same age as these kids...I can't imagine he would have felt nothing. But I can't see him showing the same degree of genuine empathy as President Obama did.

10. He certainly wouldn't have the moral courage to come out against the gun lobby. n/t

11. And there would not have been any

pics of him with those children from today, they would have run away screaming and even more traumatized. her heinous would have been pissed about having to touch them, and of course she would want to be included in the publicity... And mittens would have chastised the rest of the faculty for not shutting down the melee and call for the whole school district to be privatized so it could be patrolled by blackwater/Xe. And of course, he would have found a way to make a profit from it all through his "blind trust" ruse.

Sorry... I know it's crude but I can't see anything positive about him/them having anything to do with this in an official capacity and that's the nicest scenario I could imagine.

12. Tax cuts for 'job creators.' nt

13. Interesting ...

I just finished reading an article about Romney and gun control. When Romney was running for POTUS he spoke at a NRA national convention and warned that reelecting Obama would "lead to a unrestrained assault on freedoms with decades of repercussions "

In 2004 while governor of Massachusetts he extended a ban on assault weapons and small handguns. Less than a year later he designated May 7th 'Right to bear arms day's in Massachusetts and became a NRA member.
