Republican Convention During Hurricane Is “Crass”

Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 1 Sep 2012 | John Semmens

Democratic National Chairperson, Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (Fla), labeled Republicans “crass” for insisting on campaigning while Hurricane Isaac was ravaging the nearby GulfCoast states. The Congresswoman attributed the GOP’s insensitivity to its “win at all cost” mentality.

“They are so determined to oust President Obama that they couldn’t postpone or cancel their convention out of concern for the suffering of the people of Louisiana and Mississippi?” Wasserman-Schultz sarcastically queried. “Or what about them using all that time on camera to rally support for flood relief measures? No, they cruelly plowed ahead with speeches aimed at turning the nation against the President.”

“It’s not like this is something they have to do,” she argued. “The office isn’t vacant. President Obama has courageously offered to serve another term. If Republicans cared about the country they’d be getting behind this great man so we could present a unified approach for solving our problems.”
President Obama, who has been on the campaign trail continuously during the GOP Convention, refused to criticize the Representative’s comments. “While these aren’t the words I would’ve used, I can’t say there isn’t some truth to what she’s said,” he cautiously remarked. “I don’t think there is any doubt that we’d be better off if everyone pulled together rather than having to repeatedly squabble over the direction we ought to be headed.”
In related news, Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs characterized the GOP Convention as “angry” and “insulting.” “All we heard were complaints about high unemployment, spiraling deficits and how the Democrats aren’t doing enough to deal with these complaints,” Gibbs complained. “They didn’t give the President any credit for reforming the healthcare system or killing bin-Laden—two issues that redound heavily in his favor. I think that when voters reflect on how one-sided the whole affair was they’ll reelect President Obama.”
