What, do they expect the National Guard to rush in ahead of the tornado and evacuate people or shield people from the storm?

Did people die because they didn’t have a tent to stay in for the night after their homes were destroyed and they were exposed to the elements?

Sheesh, these people are idiots (talking about Obama and the other exploiters). They will exploit ANY disaster/tragedy for their own gain. And to think folks actually listen to what they spew.

Can you blame him? He’s a Chicago Democrat, and just forgot he wasn’t supposed to count the people in the cemetery. He just heard that they were still digging for bodies there.
