Obama Visits Red Cross As Campaign Gears Back Up

By JORDAN FABIAN (@Jordanfabian) Oct. 30, 2012

President Barack Obama continues to spend his time overseeing the recovery from Hurricane Sandy as the presidential campaign begins to kick back into gear.

On Tuesday he conducted a conference call with 20 mayors and governors from affected states to coordinate response efforts and paid a visit to Red Cross headquarters in Washington, D.C. to visit with staff and deliver remarks.

I do not donate to the Red Cross in any shape or form.

Red Cross or Red Crescent?

The Red Cross continues to fumble and stumble in its misson.

Recently I blogged on the unspeakable treatment of Christian convert at the hands of his Muslim tormentors. Afghan convert to Christianity is charged with Apostasy: “Crimes punishable by death ... and Afghan Convert Out of Islam Pleads for Mercy.

Now we hear that the Red Cross joins the cabal of savages by its complicity. Afghan judicial officials refused to bat an eye at the humiliation he endured in the hands of his fellow prisoners. Beatings, sleep-deprivation and sexual abuse are all a part of the nightmare that has unfolded after his arrest.

Red Cross bans Christmas to appease Muslims
Posted on December 17, 2010 by creeping

Self-imposed sharia, h/t Weasel Zippers via The Red Cross bans Christmas | Mail Online.

Christmas has been banned by the Red Cross from its 430 fund-raising shops.

Staff have been ordered to take down decorations and to remove any other signs of the Christian festival because they could offend Moslems.

The charity’s politically-correct move triggered an avalanche of criticism and mockery last night – from Christians and Moslems.

Christine Banks, a volunteer at a Red Cross shop in New Romney, Kent, said: ‘We put up a nativity scene in the window and were told to take it out. It seems we can’t have anything that means Christmas. We’re allowed to have some tinsel but that’s it.

Red Cross changed its symbol to match One World religion

In a suburb of Oslo, the Red Cross has merged with the Islamic Red Crescent.

Did he bring canned food or make a donation? A guy who can buy a $40 mil home in Hawaii surely should be able to drop $10 bucks in the Red Cross til.

SO how much did Obozo donate from him & the Mooch to the Red Cross while he was there?

If nothing - then he used them for self promoting himself & just gave lip service to the storm victims

On with the campaign now!!

MSNBC Anchor Criticizes Romney’s Storm Volunteerism:

Red Cross Doesn’t Want or Need Your Non-Monetary Donations

Posted on October 30, 2012 at 2:56pm by Becket Adams

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday questioned the sincerity of a “storm relief” event organized by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in Ohio, arguing that the Red Cross apparently has no need for donated clothes or canned goods.

Even if it is not the effect on the states infrastructure is much the same drawing away first responders, fire fighters, police etc. to protect the caravans of both the Governor and "The One".

"MSNBC Anchor Criticizes Romney’s Storm Volunteerism"

Which just goes to prove once again that you can't win with a bigot. Therefore, bloody doom on 'em.

Yes.

The Salvation Army is a great organization to make donations to.

It most certainly is, NPR and MSNBC just said that any charitable relief work done by Romney is political pandering, yet a visit by Obama isn’t, that’s a bag full of horse$%^^ if I ever heard it, and frankly, kudos to Romney for acting like a human being. I am sick of the media’s made up cult of Obama, because frankly obeying their hollow commandments is evil.

As soon as I saw King Obie making his pitch at the RC joint, I knew right away that our family had to dig deep and donate....

...to the SALVATION ARMY!

Did you notice the people standing around as window dressings? Reminded me of the North Koreans who are arranged like dummies for a photo op looking like they really adore Deer Leeder.

The guy fidgeting around in the back looked like he desperately wanted to be someplace else doing something entirely different. Can’t say that I blame him.
I hope he didn’t get shipped off to re education camp for not appearing sufficiently adoring.

Does anyone know how much the top brass of the RC skim off for salary and benies?

The American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha J. Evans' salary for 2011 was $951,957plus expenses.

Head of Salvation Army makes $13,000 plus housing!

Where does your money go?

Exploitation of these disasters by any political buffoons would be enough to get me to NOT vote for them. This is pretty sick. It’s bad enough that the nanny state “media” exploits the suffering for their ratings. It’s a sick world out there.

The Fraud is good at lying with a smooth charm of a charlatan. He’s not bothered by conscience it seems or else he hides it when the teleprompter rolls. This cultic-like tasbard and his adoring dupes must be defeated next Tues.
