While watching the barely-existent coverage of the ice storms in Kentucky that have the entire Kentucky National Guard mobilized, I cannot help but ask the following questions about the LACK of response from the Obama administration...and how it is a very close parallel to the Hurricane Katrina situation that was so harmful to the Bush presidency, only instead of a lot of black folks in danger, this time it's a lot of white folks...
Why aren't Kentuckians sitting on top of their houses, wailing at the constant whir of news helicopters for rescue?
Why aren't Kentuckians on TV demanding that the gummint save them, save them, save them?
Why aren't Kentuckians rioting, looting, boldly walking into shuttered convenience stores insisting that they just want food to survive and instead walking out with beer, wine and malt liquor?
Why aren't Kentuckians looting electronic stores for big-screen TVs?
Why aren't Kentuckians all being herded into a huge stadium where they will destroy the facility and murder fellow refugees?
Why aren't the big four TV networks, all the cable news channels and a herd of newspaper reporters there sticking cameras and mikes into their faces to demand that the gummint do something to save them?
Why isn't Kentucky's governor holed up in a safe area away from the weather?
Why isn't the state's largest city mayor holed up with the governor in a safe place away from the weather after having abandoned his city?
Why isn't Soledad O'Brien broadcasting live with her CNN ball cap and jaunty ponytail showing the poor, poor, poor low income people that Kentucky is famous for, barely surviving?
Why aren't Kentuckians demanding $2,000 debit cards from FEMA?
Why isn't the FEMA director being pilloried for not having his entire agency there helping?
Why isn't the mainstream media demandin to know why the president isn't there, on the scene, to help?
Why aren't Kentucky weather victims lining up for free FEMA trailers that they will then go to court to stay in two years later?
Why isn't the president being called on the carpet for racist behavior abandoning these people who so desperately need his help and being called a racist??
WHY???
Glad to hear you are so resourceful, prepared and OK.
Prayers for all of those who do not have generators or an oil powered heater (that needs no electricity to work.)
“Blanco”
Thanks for that. Had a “Senior Moment” there, and couldn’t remember her name.
The only way I could remember her name was blank-co. She was blank-co on the scene and in action. LOL! Wasn’t pronounced that way, but that how I remembered it.
Another thing
What hasn’t Obama noticed that the Governor of Kentucky called out the ENTIRE National Guard of Kentucky?
Obama is a doofus.
You can call comrade 0 racist but nearly all his flunkies and stooges are white
Nero parties while Rome freezes.
I’m so sorry you are going through this.
When Hurricane IKE hit in September many here were without electricity and water for up to 3-4 weeks. No big movie stars came to help us either.
But we did have wonderful line crews from across the country motor down here and work day and night with our electrical crews to get Houston/Galveston back up and running. Without them, we would have been without electricity much longer than 3 weeks.
I hope and pray those heroes do the same for you all!
Texans will be praying for you all!
ROFLAMO!!!!
And thats my point exactly. Obama should “know” that he needs to act. He should not have to be asked just like Katrina.
CNN and the drive by media has been absent from reporting on that.
“Obama is a doofus.”

You’ve got to admire Looterguy’s indifference to the elements. It reminds me of something I saw on the Weather Channel of a guy in Alaska who does a lot of outdoor work in the winter with only a T-shirt, no jacket.
When a white Republican is President and the disaster affects blacks, the media are all over the story 24/7. They report FEMA is incompetent and uncaring, and attribute both to racism.
When a black Democrat is President and the disaster affects whites, the media is silent and FEMA is "doing a great job."
The only thing consistent about the media is their bias.
Obama dozed while Kentucky froze.
Your being punished for being a red state.
If you didn’t vote for the One...your SOL!
Funny...but I’m in ILLINOIS, the place that we have to BLAME for the ZERO!
