What a bunch of horse hockey!!
This morning on Fox and Friends, Brian Kilmeade told the viewers that FEMA said they can't come out to assess his damage because THEY [FEMA trucks] DON'T HAVE any gas AND they asked if they can get out there, could Kilmeade find them a hotel room on Long Island!!!!!!!

Yesterday on “The Five” Bob Beckel said that Obama’s FEMA is run well, unlike Bush’s Katrina FEMA.

What happened to the thousands of urban assualt vehicles that FEMA has bought in past few years? Seems they would be perfect to drive through downed trees, sand and water. Or are they saving them for after the election to put the vast right wing conspiracy into the FEMA camps for reeducation? You know Valerie Jarrett said those that are against us will pay dearly. Splitting your fight forces up to save a few peons is not the thing to so I guess.

I keep wondering, ‘Where is the National Guard? Why don’t we see any aerial shots of them going down streets helping people and giving out aid?’ As you put it, the “urban assault vehicles” and assets we saw during Hurricane Katrina (despite the awful Democratic Party resistance to Bush’s early overtures of help).
I did see one photo in the news of a long line of Hummers (filled with politicians) observing the damage in (I believe it was the D.C. area).

Yesterday on The Five Bob Beckel said that Obamas FEMA is run well, unlike Bushs Katrina FEMA. I heard that too - he also said the stories about people dumpster diving for food and having no clothes, food, or water were being "cherry-picked" and "overblown" by FOX news.
I don't remember any statements like that during Katrina - oh, I forgot how all that compassion and outrage needs to be saved up for Republican administrations.

says Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut...[FEMA] was proactive, and it didn't used to be. It doesn't wait for the storm to hit, it pre-positions personnel, equipment, food supplies, water, etc. As I recall, supplies WERE pre-positioned before Katrina, but an incompetent mayor and an incompetent governor refused to cooperate and thus the problem. Still, the major problem with Katrina and with Sandy is that there are thousands upon thousands of people who have no idea how to take care of themselves - they've become completly dependent on the government.

To: Cincinatus' Wife
Ok people here it is... FEMA is a bunch of fat cat bureaucrats that hire college kid temps when things get hot... and these are the people that go out and hand out MRE’s and make promises and deliver SBA loan applications. These higher ups will show up with a clip board and concerned looks... if you depend on FEMA... you are going to die. I KNOW! No one with a lick of sense depended on the government after Katrina. The Military is an entirely different story... GOD bless every one of our Military men and women... they were fantastic.

And NYC has an incompetent mayor who is so far removed from reality that he only canceled the NYC Marathon when the outrage became so loud it finally penetrated his self-serving ignorance about how all those human assets and supplies (like WATER saved for the runners) would help the people he “serves.”
This is the same idiot who endorsed Obama the other day.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
cuomo offered them but doomberg refused and raised hell about it. mayor doomberg wants the little people to die while the hoity toity dine on Kobe beef and Dom champaign.

I think Bloomberg wanted his cops to do the job saying he didn’t want more people with guns on his streets

He said, “The only people that I want on the streets of New York with guns are NY Police”... guess he can't do anything about the wolf packs armed with weapons that doomberg’s nanny state has outlawed. This guy is the most incompetent mayor in our History... he is the perfect match to endorse the absolute worst president that the USA has ever endured.

FEMA is a very different organization than it was during Katrina Yes, it has now been elevated to an unimaginable level of graft and corruption as only the RATs can do. It is totally unable to lift a finger, except the middle one.

They don’t know how to operate them. Those vehicles are for our use when the time comes.
