Glenn Beck on TheBlaze TV (14 Sept 2012) - Mitt Romney’s “Milk” Donation Explained by Ken Smith

"When the now Republican presidential (Romney) candidate toured a Veterans Administration hospital while in a political race against Ted Kennedy, he discovered an awful truth: The facility could not afford enough dairy products for the sick soldiers."

"After reviewing the medical center’s books and noting that the facility appears to be run well, he asked what they needed help with or might be lacking. The quickly uttered response consisted of one simple word: milk."

The GOP candidate had made a joke about learning how to milk a cow, he apologized later and donated milk.

Really, be realistic.

Did Romney do a good thing donating milk, sure.

However, realize he did AFTER making joke the warriors had no milk and said to learn to milk cows - hardly magnanimous.

Thanks for the link. I just watched Ken Smith telling that story and was quite impressed. Most people don't put their money where their mouth is.

I didn't vote for Mitt during our state's primary (voted Newt) but I sure am voting the party ticket here in a few weeks, and you know, the more I learn from my own research and dig into stories like this, the more I like the guy.
