FEMA says no to Virginia. The Federal Emergency Management Agency denies Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell's request for federal assistance with the tornado destruction.

(snip)

The storm facts for April show the state was slammed by more than two dozen tornadoes. Killing 10 people, four of those were in Glade Spring. 212 homes were destroyed statewide and more than 1,000 were damaged.

FEMA once again demonstrates its worthlessness. The tornadoes that hit Southwest Virginia were EF3 and EF4 in intensity.

VIDEO taken of the damage at Exit 29 on I-81, near Glade Spring, Virginia.

But Obama wants to give a billion dollars to Egypt, not to mention Pakistan.

Obama is waterboarding Virginia...reminding them of what happens when you vote for capitalism instead of Communism.

Yep...this happened in the Virginia 9th District, which threw out Pelosi's Rat whip Rick Boucher and elected Tea Party Republican Morgan Griffith.

Folks can draw their own conclusions.

Two Southern, formerly Confederate states. States which largely lack what voodoo Republican Colin Powell called “urban values”.

Defund FEMA. When did disaster relief become a federal priority?

And there you have it. FEMA is nothing more than another Democrap slush fund.

Obama is a vindictive pr**k, and people have said that for some time. He is punishing Va, Texas, and other states that have not supported him nor kissed his a$$.

Apparently “Are you fighting Obamacare?” is one of the new qualifiers on the FEMA checklist...

And will Virginia Republicans stand up and TELL the people of the state the funds are NOT coming because they did NOT vote for Hussein??!! Probably not.

I think the Dems are building a meme here. They’re going to accuse GOPers who decry federal spending and power of wanting and expecting the feds to come to their rescue when they need it, but wanting to restrict or limit the feds from raising and spending money elsewhere.

The tornadoes weren’t in Northern Virginia, where those still sporting the Obama 08 stickers are located. For this administration, damage and disarray along the I-81 corridor is a positive.

Those who vote Democrat frequently cite their party as the one that cares for people. This is yet another example of why that is untrue.
