You are missing the politics. After the derecho hit WV last summer, there was not a drop of gasoline in many locations, but not a single person in Washington gave a hoot.

A media blitz for Obama during the final weekend...when you’ve got an IQ of 60, who won’t vote for you for free gas?

Do they get a free quart of oil too? Hows about a free gallon of windshield washer fluid also. After all, Sandy made for dirty windows, right? And free a tire alignment, cuz they had to drive over trees and debris, right? And finally, a big ole free cuppa coffee, hey the deserve it right?

I want to see what happens when there’s a 20,000 people waiting for free gas and they run out. The 18,000 or so who don’t get free gas aren’t going to be happy after waiting for hours and getting screwed.

This seems awfully silly. NYC doesn’t need mobile fuel stations.
Correct and you’d think that mobile generators would at least do the trick of getting power to the pumps, etc so that they could function.

Yeah, but what’s the point when you’re in a state that is going to be voting for Obama anyway? Do you think anyone in Ohio or Colorado is going to vote for Obama because a bunch of welfare sheep in NYC are getting 10 gallons of free gasoline?

Same with the Red Cross/Sandy "ads" starring 0. Nothing but campaign spots.
Lessee, I don't recall free gas being distributed during Allison, Rita or Ike, down here in Texas.

Yea, they need to get a move on with these relief efforts. The clock is ticking and they're WAY behind and have underestimated the massive effort and planning required.
Beck's Mercury One was ahead of everyone with supply trucks on-site and has raised well over 1 million while the MSM and libs are still trying to put together some fancy star studded fund raiser - retards.

It was not widly reported, but the President ordered this yesterday or earlier. It is free because, without power, people have no access to their money!

Who is paying for these free $40 per pop fill-ups? I know; I am. DoD gas is probably closer to $100 a gallon.

Giving away free gasoline in a crime ridden area of the country.
What could go wrong?
Oh I know. No cameras to film the event.
