Joe Biden in on TV using his normal hectoring voice, ‘explaining’ why the response has not reached the actual Haitian people sooner.
He is sounding verrrrry defensive!!!
Can anyone say “compared to people in New Orleans in 2005”?
OBAMAO will look like a UN civil servant but not a POTUS.
That’s what he really is!
"Obama doesn’t help in natural disasters in this Country. Took him six months to sign an emergency declaration for eastern OK last year and our doofus RAT Governor is a huge supporter of Obama."
My mother almost froze to death in the Kentucky ice storm last year. Here is the only link I could find similar to a "time line" regarding that disaster. No mention of Fed response... not even a 'fly over' by Obama.
"Government officials have released a "by-the-numbers" look at last month's devastating ice storm in Kentucky.
According to the report, preliminary disaster assessments totaled $115 million; there were 36 fatalities; 987,810 meals and 1.9 million liters of water were delivered to disaster victims; 500 cots and 1,000 blankets were delivered; and 220 shelters served 7,009 people at the storm's peak. In addition, 4,900 miles of roadway were affected by the storm.
The report says that emergency management agencies in 10 other states helped out and 25 volunteer organizations from 15 states offered help."
It will be all about brownie points from the World to Obama on this one.
I can already see the money getting pissed away. Bank on it that Obama sends billions for the next three years, all of it borrowd. Our Great grandchildren are now expected to pay for this.
FUBO, the sleaziest president in history.
As much as I want Haiti to get all the help they need, Obama being involved will not burnish anything in my mind. We are the United states, this is what we do. Obama did not invent American aid to devastated countries as much as he would like everyone to believe.
I had to turn off Obama's speech this morning but parts of ot glorified Clinton for his work during these tough times and I did not hear him say anything good about Bush.
What I saw was clearly one sided for Clinton. Clinton involved on other countries put cash in his pockets. So much so he had to say he would relinquish those contacts so Hillary could take her position.
So, one more thing. Today concerns about the Haitians here gaining legal residency for up to 16 months. Will Obama find a way to allow them to vote? 200,000 Democrat votes. Obama will give them free HC, welfare, food stamps and housing. They will vote democratically.
I sent a heartfelt letter to Red Cross explaining how I had planned to give money to their Haiti fund until I saw their promotional video w/ obam’s lady which made me change my mind and instead give money to Doc. w/out borders!
Yup - Obama and Mugabe are the same thing. The liberal newsmedia will use images and Haiti to help Obama because they are one in the same. Death tolls and damage will be overstated to get more taxpayer money to steal, to go to Aristiede and bring more Haitians to America.
The U.S. public is being played on this story and FR’ers have already attacked me for pointing it out. The trust nothing from the news coverage and I cancelled TV service because they LIE to us. The liberal news media hates Americans like Sarah Palin and many of the people who post here.
Wake up folks.
What should he have done? Refused to help? That’s not our W.
I'd put money on it
“Do you think he will go to Haiti and tell the victims that they make a “pretty good photo op”?”
What? He hasn’t done that yet?
No course rankings?
As we all know, this was to be expected. I heard Biden comparing Haiti and Katrina. What a doofus.
yes, they hate the churches, they hate the military and those are the organizations that actually help people in the world.
Proof once again, raybbr is a ready fool. There. Fixed it.
That's some decisive leadership, I tell ya...
The list, ping
Where’s the timeline for his response to the ice storm in Kentucky?
GW is that you? If not why the personal insult?
