I have no doubt that if Obama or Clinton had family homes in the way of the fire you would be singing a different tune. Not to mention that personal attacks show lack of education and common decency and courtesy. All people deserve our sympathies when their lives are changed dramatically and their homes are in peril whether they have money or not. I would call that reverse snobbism. Thinking you are a much better person than someone with more money plainly shows you are wanting. What a lot of snarky, mean-spirited comments!

I think that you should try another shade. I would go lighter and probably use a color with ash. Mrs. Romney..I don't know if it's the lighting, but your hair coloring is not very natural looking.

Romney using the fires as a "pulpit." What point or campaign platform is he trying to make? Those few sentences are not a "pulpit." He is just delivering the facts of how the fire is affecting his family, probably in response to a reporter's questions. I don't hear a "poor me" anywhere in this. What I DO hear is sarcasm, covetousness, and outright hatred on this comments page. I fail to see how others see this press conference quip as Gov. Romney using the fires as a "pulpit."

He "really can't lay it out exactly", not because he isn't trying, it is because he simply does not know what to do. It is called a lack of experience geopolitically and militarily! May be he should ask his bishop for advice, or the Prophet of his church? Pathetic that he is using the California tragedy to spring board his campaign! On a side note, I am glad to hear his children are having room service while the rest of the California residents are sleeping on cots in the stadium!
