He's collecting canned food at a campaign rally. This is disgusting.

First of all, those of us in harm's way don't need canned food. The Red Cross doesn't want it either. Their guidelines include the following: "Unfortunately, due to logistical constraints the Red Cross does not accept or solicit individual donations or collections of items. Items such as collected food, used clothing and shoes must be sorted, cleaned, repackaged and transported which impedes the valuable resources of money, time, and personnel." DID HE EVEN CHECK WHAT WAS NEEDED? DID HE EVEN ASK THE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND HOW HE COULD BEST HELP? BECAUSE THIS ISN'T IT!!!

His continuing to campaign during this, in whatever lame guise he uses, is craven. He's using the misfortune of others to press his advantage.

We have BIG problems here. An entire mass transit system is derailed. People need to be rescued from flood waters. Children can't get to school. The stock exchange can't function.

We need GOVERNMENT. We need FEMA. We need union police and firefighters. We need a President like the one we have: one who is working himself haggard to make sure we are covered.

WE DON'T NEED A GOD DAMNED CAN OF PEAS!
