Paul Ryan stopped by a soup kitchen in Youngstown, Ohio, over the weekend for what seemed to be your typical campaign photo opportunity. "We just wanted to come by and say thanks for doing what you do," Ryan said. Vincent De Paul Society, the faith-based charity that runs the soup kitchen, the campaign did not have permission and "ramrodded their way" into the facility. Romney treating Ohio as a must-win state "The photo op they did wasn't even accurate," Antal continued. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall." An aide for Mitt Romney's campaign told the paper that the campaign sent a staffer to the soup kitchen ahead of Ryan's visit and "spoke with a woman in charge on-site, who said that it would be fine for the congressman to stop by." told ABC News, "It was a great opportunity to highlight the importance of volunteerism and local charities." Antal, though, said it was just too risky for the charity to appear to be favoring one party over the other. "I can't afford to lose funding from these private individuals," he told the Post. "If this was the Democrats, I'd have the same exact problem." It may sound silly, but there's a reason even a soup kitchen controversy could impact the presidential race. "You can probably win the presidency without Ohio, but I wouldn't want to take the risk," Ohio Sen. GideonL 8 mins ago True, but Ryan's point is to show off himself, rather than the charity. You can tell because the soup kitchen president says that he came in to take a picture. Brian o 1 day 2 hrs ago I read something in the Bible where Jesus said (paraphrased) don't seek glory in your charity, do it quietly without fanfare or self promotion. KED 24 mins ago Right wingers will do anything to buy or get a vote. Paul ryan knows he has no interest in looking out for the homeless. If it was up to him, they would be sleeping in the street. lance 2 mins 33 secs ago After the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the white American athletes were invited to meet Roosevelt. No such invitation was made to the black athletes including even Jesse Owens, who had won four gold medals. A widely believed myth about the 1936 games was that Hitler had snubbed Owens, something that never happened. KarenS o 1 day 3 hrs ago Princess Anne who does a great deal of charity work once refused to pose for a picture holding a starving child. I hate these phony baloney photo ops when they are done by either side. matthew o 1 day 3 hrs ago Our constitution should require all government officials to live off of the exact average of every living American for that matter. Average living wage, average health care, average work week and average vacation. How can we ever expect to be represented properly through people who have no idea how the average american lives? paulc o 17 hrs ago As someone who works for a nonprofit, I see volunteers as a huge asset and am always thankful for them. Faking volunteer work is an insult to those who take the time to make a difference, often at their own expense, because they value the nature of the work they do. foo o 1 day 4 hrs ago My family has worked a local soup kitchen a few times. But it's a very small thing compared to what the patrons are going through every day. Noel S o 1 day 2 hrs ago Wouldn't it be nice if they volunteered for more than 15 minutes? Eight hours would convince me that they were doing it for the charity instead of a photo op. image guy o 1 day 2 hrs ago Most charitable organizations do not want to be associated with just 1 side of the political spectrum, so it makes sense they would be upset at this.

He plans on turning in his donations to the soup kitchen by mid December. The election will still be over but people will still be hungry,' he said.
