I was amused, but also kinda horrified by Mitt's 'binder' statement, then I got pissed when he said he was for flex time so the little woman could get home in time to cook and clean. Made me want to hit the next man I saw, which unfortunately was poor Eric. I continue to be amazed at the disparity between the sexes with regards to equal pay, work division in the home, etc. Amazed, and angry.

Obama didn't really answer that question either. And I'm sure that young Epstein--or whatever his name--was went straight home and dropped out of college to cut his losses.

It kills me to say that I am really respecting Gov. Christie for how he is not politicizing Sandy, working with Obama and the government and generally put aside his differences to do what is best for his state.

Now, it's probably too much to hope that once he sees how organizations like FEMA, and you know, the FEDERAL government and taxes will help restore his state that he will change his views.

It's probably too much to hope that all these people who are against government handouts will see how tax money and federal funds are useful. And if they don't, it's way too much to hope they will just ask their parents for money, or do it themselves, with no help.

Or, as I said on Facebook

I wonder how many of those anti-"socialist", anti-government assistance people will accept/demand/look for help from the Feds and State to rebuild after Sandy. And I wonder how Fox will spin it.

I had a similar reaction. My estimation of Christie went up several notches. And that it happened on Fox News was priceless.

This is not really politics, per se, but I wasn't sure where else to put it...

I've read or heard people make comments to the effect that whoever wins on Tuesday will be president on Wednesday. For example "I can't wait to see Obama moving out of the White House on 11/7!" "I'll be so happy to wake up on 11/7 and find Romney is now President!"

Don't these people have any understanding that the term doesn't end until January, and no matter the outcome on Tuesday, Obama will still be president until then? It drives my crazy.

In fact if Romney wins, The vans to move out the Obama's and the vans loaded with Romney stuff will show up at the White House at the same time the president is being inaugurated.

Here is a photo of that during Obama's inauguration....

If the Mayans are right it won't matter because the world will end before January anyway.

Yes. The residence staff have just 7 hours to pack all the outgoing first family's possessions, load them into the trucks; then paint, wallpaper, and clean before moving all the new family’s stuff in and unpacking it. Nothing is touched until the outgoing POTUS and FLOTUS leave for the inauguration, and everything has to be in place for the new family by the time the inaugural parade is over. It’s an amazing feat of coordination!

That's how we won the war.

I can see both a literal and metaphorical meaning in saying Romney will be president on the 7th. Before I judge, can you point me to an example of this?
