So sick of all these politicians and their messiah complexes. Get the problem fixed or STFU and step down. And i have to laugh at the child like sheep and drones saying "Obama looked so presidential!"
Really? Are some people so gullible, incompetent, and naive to still fall for these publicity stunts? He comes in for 1 hour - 1 hour - and then heads off to Vegas AGAIN for a fundraiser. Boy doesn't that jog my memory of September 12, 2012 as our embassy was in flames w the flag of Al Queada flying high and the ambassador and 2 Navy Seals dead. Wake up people - these politicians are all the same.
I'm sitting in the dark, listening to the radio by flashlight, scavenging for gas in order to get to work, and obama / bloomberg / christie are taking victory laps? Are you FNG KIDDING ME ? ? ? ?
And now BloomBUM wants to hold the marathon while Queens and Staten Island are a mess? How about hand rations to the runners to deliver to the stressed and strapped out homeowners?
Sorry for the rant - just really pissed off.
Stay safe everyone.
Just wondering how many days did the NE have to prepare for this? Food, car’s tank filled, ect.
“Lower” Manhattan still in standstill because of no power. And by “Lower”, I mean just about everything below 34th Street, which is more than 1/2 of Manhattan business area.
At this point, all the gas stations are empty in NYC, and cars / cabs on the road are thinning, disappearing slowly.
Things are going from bad to worse...
The liberal take: "Obama hugged a couple of people. We have the video! Everything is fine. Move along."
The take of the fake "conservative" subset of FReepers: "Everything is fine. No food, no heat, no gas, no clean water? Stop whining!"
Reality: Many individuals made substantial provisions for contingencies, but local, state and federal governments apparently did not. As those individuals reach day 5 of consuming their provisions, there is little supplementation from public services. All those exorbitant taxes have apparently bought nothing.
Just stay safe. As someone who went without power for 8 days in the middle of December, I know exactly how it feels.
It's a very telling statement.
Normally that's used for challengers and candidates wanting to be President.
Are trucks not able to get in to restock stores and gas stations? Where the electricity is out gas can’t be pumped, right? Is the main problem the electricity being out?
“Are some people so gullible, incompetent, and naive to still fall for these publicity stunts?”
In short, yes.
Staten Island is dead in the water with no real help coming yet, but because Skippy the Echolocating Wonderbat bloviated and condescended to hug some of the fragrant masses the media and the short term mempory loss types will overlook such things.
And they will ignore his comment that we don’t leave anyone behnd despite him doing just that to our men in Benghazi.
[As an aside, did anyone else hear a reporterette say on Saturday that Bloombug was the ‘god of New York City’?]

But, but.... He HUGGED a storm victim.
Now if THAT isn't Presidential, then I don't know what is.

Good rant, btw. Let me add to it. WTF is up with power companies coming from miles away to help restore electricity only to be TURNED AWAY because they're non-union.
Enjou the Marathon on Sunday.
/another s
Heartfelt prayers your way, Glock...Your rant is well stated and needs to be screamed from the rooftop!
Perhaps you can dress as a runner and get free food and water along the route. You could also warm up on their
heaters being powered by the massive generators set asside
for the race. ;-)
I’m truly sorry to hear about your situation and understandable anger. I am also very worried for the people caught in the horrible conditions that were (for whatever reason) not prepared at all for the fall out of Sandy—especially those with young children.
I will keep you in my prayers, GTV.
Prepare for this?
How?

I am with you, there are still over 800,000 housholds here on Long Island without power and no gasoline around.
I’m looking on the bright side, 4.5 Million people in NY & NJ without power and no gasoline are not going to give a shit about voting on Tuesday (for the most part)- this could equal 2 to 3 Million less votes for 0bama.
Only thing you need to pray for is getting rid of O-THUG next week.
Removing him from office is far more imperative right now than my temporary discomfort.
BTW - I would have to be chained to the pier in high tide and then have chains around my feet dragging me to the bottom of the Atlantic to still keep me from voting.
FUBO!
Well at least you have the Marathon to look forward to! /s
But seriously, please take care of yourself and take whatever cover and protection you can!

When I heard this on the news this morning, I about blew my stack. What the hell are they thinking?
If those runners can as you say RUN AND HELP people, I am furious. But, then realize that RUNNERS are the most precious of ELITIST, better and smarter than anyone.
Deep down they are ugly to the bone, and don't give a RIP for anyone but themselves. DISGUSTING ELITIST BRATS.
Sorry for my rant,I am in the Midwest, but I am very concerned for all of you up there.
Obama and the Democrat and the Unions OWN THIS ONE.
Don’t apologize.
But do tell it to your liberal cohorts.
Didn’t someone once say that a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged by reality?
Maybe you can talk some sense into them.
