So local government and the levy boards failed in Katrina. Here we have the public utilities falling on there face. Must be Bush’s fault.

Bloomberg would have to disarm them first and store their weapons at the UN.

Nah, they’ll just have to pay union dues.

Let them call MSNBC Chris Matthews and have him go on TV and call Obama for help.....maybe Valerie Jarrett will answer the phone. Maybe Cher or the Pimp with a Limp will intervene for them.

Some officials are calling for the U.S. military to take over the managerial structure of the Long Island Power Authority until power is restored on Long Island, where more than a quarter million homes and businesses are still in the dark after Sandy and a snowstorm.
I can see that those people have a problem, but there is a bigger problem and it is in washington, what we need is for the military to take charge there.

My attitude these days is, they voted for Obama, let Obama save them. There is nothing the military can do about outdated infrastructure anyway. What fools!

"LIPA was warned as long ago as 2006 that it was not prepared to handle a major storm, that it badly needed to replace outdated technology and did not keep up with critical maintenance."What happened to 'shovel ready'? What happened to the trillion dollars of Porkulus? What, this project wasn't ripe for stimu-cash?
I'd love to cast Obama in the role of The Dude. "Where's the money, Lebowski?" Now there's a remake I could get into.
