WHERE’S OBAMA? That’s right he doesn’t think snow and ice should close anything since it doesn’t in Chicago. Talk about someone out of touch!

It’s especially hard on those southern states. Here in the north it’s one of the things we plan for every year. In the south it’s not something they can really ever be fully prepared for.

Having gone through something similar, though not life threatening, (weather was in the 30-40’s) I feel for everyone going through this and our prayers are with them.....Where the hell is FEMA?

Typical Democrat KY response. Wait until after the storm to start snow removal. The state has dump trucks. Why does not each truck have a snow blade. The blades can be changed to new trucks when the old ones are disposed of.

When Fletcher was governor, snow and lots of other things got dealt with. Now; typical liberal response from a crook, it is some one else’s fault.

LOL!!! Earlier this week, we could have used some Global Warming in Oklahoma when it didn’t get above freezing. It was in the 60’s today and still didn’t melt all the ice and snow. The ice where the sun doesn’t directly hit is still very hard and extremely slippery.

This crap happens every 3 or 4 years. The Dems simply stick their heads where the sun does not shine and wait for some one else to bail them out.

"Help is on the way!" Waxman said he'll have his Cap and Trade scam bill ready by May! Everybody just hold on and try to stay warm!

I agree. In an ideal world the media would concentrate on the lack of whining from those states hit by the storm.

Kentucky gets plenty of cold weather, snow and ice. I have seen pickups driving on the Ohio River.

We finally hit 27 degrees today here in southern Mi. I don’t think we’ve seen a heat wave like that since mid December.

No doubt....and it’s a good thing since he doesn’t appear to care much.

Absolutely right. I sure hope you folks in KY have someone lined up to run against Beshear when it's time. I recall Katrina response got that exact result.

WHY oh why did KY allow a dem to take office??

I second that Farmer, and wish I was one of them. Hope to be in fact, at some point.
