With nearly 1.5 million people in the mid-west without power during a cold snap, what other possible reason is there that this new "competent" administration and FEMA would be failing so spectacularly in helping in this natural disaster?
It's got to be that Obama hates white people and wants them to die!
Of course, I am just aping what lefty blogs were saying about Bush less than 24 hours after Katrina's hurricane winds stopped blowing. But AP is reporting that Midwest disaster relief people are none too pleased with our new president's FEMA.
In Kentucky's Grayson County, there are 25 National Guardsmen there to help - but no chain saws to cut away fallen limbs and trees. EM Director Randell Smith is quoted as saying, "We've got people out in some areas we haven't even visited yet," Smith said. "We don't even know that they're alive."
Smith is also quoted as saying that FEMA is a "no show."
What's that? Here we are 5 days after the storm ended and still no FEMA? I demand a Congressional investigation. And let's get all the anchors and media people down here pronto. People's lives are at stake. For all we know, there are babies being eaten and people jumping off their roofs committing suicide because FEMA is nowhere to be found.
And where is our president? Shouldn't he be visiting these ravaged areas? It must be that he HATES WHITE PEOPLE AND WANTS THEM TO DIE. That is the only possible explanation for this incredible failure of our national government to relieve the suffering of these people.
Isn't it interesting that now that we have a Democrat as president that all of a sudden, disaster relief is a state and local matter and the federal government should stand aside and allow them to do their jobs?
Just wondering...
Why isn’t 0bama in KY right now directing all the relief efforts?? When is he going to do what all presidents should do and put on his Superman suit and head down there to bring aid and relief to all those victimized people? I guess he doesn’t care!!
“Heckuva job,” huh?
I got a friend down under. Since they went Socialist the dole is $145 for all. They are setting up camps on the beaches and having 24/7 parties. Capitalists are outbound for higher ground and the country is disintigrating. Coming here soon.
Well “Ray” is a smart man. He should post here. LOL
Answer- Motivation in the first case. Credit cards and bussing to the site of the canonization.
Second case- lets get something straight. We did NOT HAVE 4 days notice for Katrina. As late as Saturday morning local weather people were saying we’d be on the ‘good’ side of the storm and have ‘tropical storm’ force winds and ‘blustery’ weather! That’s a day and a half before Katrina hit- and a mandatory evacuation had not been ordered at that time either. Katrina was NOT a publicly announced threat to N.O. 4 days out. This was the Twilight Zone. Every other news broadcast in the country was taking it seriously and knew we were gonna get smacked- but NOT the local media!
ALSO- It was a weekend- many people pay NO attention whatever to the news on the weekend. Most black people of my acquaintance( including relatives) didn’t even KNOW there was a hurricane approaching- as of Saturday before the Monday hit! They don’t watch the news and they rarely read the paper. You underestimate the number of people who just don’t pay attention.
Poverty was a factor too- many did not have cars that would make a long road trip- AND there was no city plan to get people out. Despite the YEARS of warning about the ‘Big One’.
There WAS planning to get the maximum amount of black people to Washington for the ‘history making’ moment. THAT news they DID pay attention to!
"And where is our president? Shouldn't he be visiting these ravaged areas? It must be that he HATES WHITE PEOPLE AND WANTS THEM TO DIE."

Ummm...there could be ONE other explanation...he could be a little "distracted" with something else.....
It would be cool to tell the prospective members of Obama's brownshirts America Corps or whatever he's calling it, that they'd be airdropped from C-130's into the blizzard area with chain saws and MRE's. That was exactly the type of response he envisioned when campaigning, right ... more FEMA than FEMA?
The media had to "make sure" to report Zero had his suit jacket off in the oval office and somehow the excuse was because he ran the heat up in there, which doesn't make any sense. Meanwhile Kentucky has activated it's entire National Guard. Jimmy Carter would have acted on this by now. Once again America gets the Hawaiian Peace symbol from Dumbo.
Heck, he didn’t even fly over and observe the damage from the air!
I estimate 200,000 people didn't pay attention.....
Stay safe !

Not exactly original. Just waited for the first Ice Storm after Obama took office.
11 deaths in Ky so far.
I just heard on the radio that “Puff” Daschle was 150K in the hole on back taxes, but since “Heist”ner got confirmed with his tax “problems”, it wasn’t expected to derail Daschle either. How can they have a cabinet that scoffs at paying taxes and expect anyone else to pay theirs?
We lived in Pittsburgh for two years and at that time did root for the Steeler's..Job related..that was when Terry Bradshaw played for the Steelers If the truth be know I doubt King Obama even knows anything about football..
That would have been ONE of the Steelers' owners. The idiot one.
He looks hammered.
