Romney in New Orleans asks where the water came from

[blacken700]

CBS News) Surveying the flood damage produced by Hurricane Isaac, newly minted Republican nominee Mitt Romney on Friday told Gov. Bobby Jindal that he had come to Louisiana to learn -- and then asked where all the water came from.

Meeting with Jindal in the flooded Lafitte area of Jefferson Parish, Romney said, "I appreciate the chance to be here. I have a lot of questions for you. I'm here to learn and obviously to draw some attention to what's going here, so that people around the country know that people done here need help."

Jindal lauded the contributions of the Red Cross, Salvation Army and other organizations amid a scene of downed trees, high water and National Guard troops. Romney expressed concern about the welfare of the 5,000 residents, some of whom had evacuated. He then asked, according to a journalists' pool report of the visit: "Did the water come from the sky, or the rivers, or the ocean?"
The comment brought to mind another observation about the natural wonders that Romney made during the primaries, when he returned home to Michigan and remarked, "I love this state. The trees are the right height."

He's in full campaign mode now.  If he's brilliant, or if he's a dipshit, we will know in the next 8 weeks.  Everything he said will be under a microscope.  His speech at the RNC had some really beautiful parts, but was overshadowed by Eastwood's rambling.

I think they did him a disservice with the surprise guest being a high profile guy doing something crazy like that.  Everything in this campaign has been about keeping it calm, low key, respectable, and defaulting into a win in november.

So there is no proof at all that he said this?

LOL, everyone knows God sent the hurricane to rain on Romney's parade
