The one that got me that I won’t ever forget is the person responsible for the marathon saying that those were his generators, they paid for them and they will be used for the marathon.
A marathon brings in much revenue to the host city. Yes, the city does provide the police to block streets, but, it is my understanding that it is the cost that comes from the fees charged to run the marathon. It is not as if there are no other generators available in this world. Those generators should have been on NewYork and NewJersey's list of procurement the day after hurricane Sandy hit. Elected liberals screwed up the holding of the marathon after they waited days so the incoming tourist would come get taxed for what they bought, and then their rug got ripped from under them.
The city made money off the marathon, and then canceled it. One really had nothing to do with the other, except for maybe the numbers of police required to block off streets. Blomie got his cut and the peoples affected by hurricane Sandy got his shaft. It is how liberals do business.
How many generators could have been leased by the amount of money Obama spent in his fly-over. Probably enough to light up all of Staten Island and then some. Instead he abused the tax payers by seeking a photo-op for his own campaign.
