Will this vacation snap harm Romney's image?

Uhm, yeah .... that really pisses me off. A nice family enjoying a little bit of free time on the water .... together. Not like Michelle running off to Spain while Hubby runs off to play golf somewhere.
Dammit, they got us, this election is in the bag for O'bama.

3. Overloaded boat? No parents in PFDs? Speeding in shallow water too close to shore?

Boating Responsibility Fail.
Yup
Not overloaded, "speeding" next to the shore is subjective, DUmbass, and you don't HAVE to wear a PFD as an adult. It just has to be on the boat, you ****ing retard.

They can't be traveling that fast. The girl in the picture wearing a ball cap is facing forward and still has a hat on her head.

Remember who you're dealing with, Rebel. That's Jpak from gungeon fame. He was born in a state of political retardation.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to wait for Nautical Nadin to pass judgment on this one.

In reference to the boating picture.

29. After 10 years of daily DU I finally have to comment
I've been an avid lurker for a decade, though holding a public and high profile position I've abstained from ever signing up here.
The responses to this picture are sad at best. And for people here to blatantly just make up crap is laughable. (I'll preface this by saying that I hate Romney and everything he stands for and will proudly be pulling the lever for The Pres.
My husband is a Coastie officer and we both teach a free boat safety class at the local VFW and without a doubt, children riding in a BOWRIDER is safe, fun and encouraged. The boat is designed wih seats up front for that very reason. Riding on a bow is dangerous and illegal, but this is clearly a BOWRIDER.
People on here have such visceral feelings that they see a picture, know nothing about boating and automatically just start spouting off bullshit.
The biggest manchurian candidate in our countries history is running against us and we resort to making up bullshit on a family photo op. that is sad Reply to this post

30. After 10 years of lurking here, I would
have thought you might have found something more profound to comment on for the first time. I am sure you know more about boating than I do but there just seem to be too many little people on that boat to be safe...too many little people and two few adults. I live on a lake and I can tell you first hand that these damn high powered boats ruin things for everybody...people and wildlife. If this was a picture of Obama there would be hell to pay.
Raven knows how many adults should be on the boat! :-)

Sad that someone saved their first post to take their fellow DUers to task. Gosh, usually we like to welcome new posters.. but now it's kind of awkward.

34. Yes
A thread where my side of the isle just blatantly starts making up BS is the perfect time.
Are people really so stuck on stupid that a family on a boat causes them to just start spouting off crap?
And for ten years i pretty much loved reading various posts taking a good pulse of the left and using information to better serve my community.
But this post is analogous for our current political state and in some ways DU

35. You did what we all do here...
you had an opinion and some extra information to add...and you did.
Now people will read this thread and read your post and make up their own minds.
Like I said before, that's the beauty of DU, we get to see different sides of the argument, and if we think someone is wrong we get to tell them why.

41. I made up my mind--the poster missed the point most people are taking from the photo, entirely.

It has nothing to do with boating (or Jet ski) safety, or anything of that nature. It has to do with out-of-touch rich people playing around at their private lakeside mansion. I think that's what the overarching majority take from it.
As the military drawdown progresses, this poster just might be unlucky enough to have a better sense of what it feels like to be one of the Great Unwashed....even more so if the Coastie spouse hasn't racked up enough years on deck to be eligible for retirement.
To me, that "first post" tells me more than the poster might have intended.

45. Agree that
Pointing out a rich person enjoying something that most cannot afford is FAIR game.
And I wore a uniform for my share of years and do not want to sound elitist because I know about boating.
I was only referring to the posts of people actually saying that he was being unsafe and even breaking maritime laws.
I don't know why it irked me so (did have a sleepless night with a sick baby so this gal is cranky).
However I think we can point to thousands of problems with the Rom-

63. Do you think piling a ton of small children in the bow of that vessel is a good idea?
Not that "boating safety" is the issue, and all...but that just looks "dumbass" to me. I wouldn't do it.
By God! And because MADem won't do it neither should anyone else!!

44. I count at least 10 children in the bow of that boat.
You think that's safe?
You loved DU for 10 years and now because of this post you have to accuse DUers of "spouting off crap." Nice debut. and welcome.
I always try to get my safety instructions from someone who has a screen name of Salvia*.*

So let me get this straight.
"FraudsterRomney" has been lurking for 10 years, that would put him as a DU reg since 2002.
In 2002, Romney was NOT EVEN GOVERNOR of Massachusetts yet! So this guy is INCREDIBLY PRESCIENT.

Now that is funny there. Wow. They bitch about Romney spending his own money to go on a family trip, but praise Fat Ass Moochelle when she spends $300,000.00 of the tax payers money to to Spain? Wow. What a bunch of douchebags.

So DUmmie wants to go boating too, huh. Well, tell mom to turn off the sump pump in the basement.

The hate is so strong in the DUches. Hate runs a close second to stupidity at the DUmp.

And BEG, add to your list, Independence Day 2012: Paris, France.
DUmbasses, when the Preezy and Weezie go on vacation to one of these hot spots, do you ever walk around Internetland? The genpop started getting a little peeved after the first three or four. Now it's a boiling rage. It's OUR money, and WE don't get vacation.

DOESN'T Romney just look cool? Unlike Obama on his bike?

They were in France on the 4th this year? Nope, they were in Washington Celebrating Malia's 14th birthday.
My understanding was that they were going to go over seas, but caved into the pressure and stayed here.

That's exactly where I'd want the kids in a bowrider so I could keep an eye on all of them as a group. Not fooling around and grab-assing in the stern where it's easier to fall overboard. DUmbasses have no common sense at all.
Hey DUmmies, why don't you Photoshop a dog riding up there? You got so much traction from the last canine story about Romney.

He needs a 'coon tail on each handlebar grip, some mud flaps and the clothes pins holding some carboard against the spokes to make some motor sounds.

Once again, the DUmpmonkeys display their utter lack of photographic knowledge.

The only thing I have to add to this thread that I don't think has allready been mentioned.
The boat does not seem to be up on plane so, if true, it's not going that fast.

It depends -- Is he north of Niagara Falls, heading south ? If so, then yes - He has a great deal of experience piloting the Ship Of State downward. I'm sure piloting a simple Bowrider downward is a piece-o-cake.

Cool boat. I wish we had something like that to enjoy on the weekends. :)
