I find it offensive, living in a state that had a lot of damage to it along the coastline. Actually, maybe he should just keep acting like an ass. That will help President Obama.

Obviously Whitman is hoping "the damage is the sort that lasts for awhile" so "the public will get frustrated with everyone" especially the President.

She is NOT advising Romney to "just stay quiet for now" because it is inappropriate, she is saying it so he doesn't put his foot in his mouth (oops, too late already, Whitman) so he can use the disaster to his benefit.

Disgusting but, then again, she's a repub, what else could one expect.

to STFU because he has absolutely no role to play in this disaster and REALLY SHOULD STFU--she's advising him on "strategery" for when the public gets "frustrated". Asshole.
