How The Candidates Are Helping: Obama And Romney's Relief Efforts

Romney compares Hurricane relief to cleaning up a high school football field

At that now-infamous rally-turned-relief in Ohio, Governor Romney made a startling comparison when he likened the clean up for Sandy to the clean up of a football field after a big game. The Presidential-hopeful shared the following anecdote:

"I remember once we had a football field at my high school. The field was covered with rubbish and paper goods from people who’d had a big celebration there at the game. And there was a group of us there assigned to clean it up. And I thought, ‘how are we going to clean up all the mess on this football field?’ There were just a few of us. And the person responsible for organizing the effort said, ‘Just line up along the yard lines. You go between the goal line and the 10-yard line. The next person between the 10 and 20, and just walk down and do your lane. And if everybody cleans their lanes, we’ll get it done.’ And so today, we’re cleaning one lane if you will."

...must've been one hell of a game. [Romney doing some heavy lifting, via]
