Breitbart ^ | Nov 3, 2012 | Michael Patrick Leahy

FEMA's vaunted "lean forward" strategy that called for advanced staging of supplies for emergency distribution failed to live up to its billing in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

In fact, the agency appears to have been completely unprepared to distribute bottled water to Hurricane Sandy victims when the storm hit this Monday.

If Dubya was still in the White House, the commie pig rabble in this country would be on their way to Washington to lynch him.

Tell Mayor Doomberg to send all that water in Central park for the now canceled Marathon on over to FEMA.

Sounds like it’s time to go looking for the cronies benefitting from these Potemkin FEMA warehouses, imho.

Let Wal-Mart handle the logistics like Bush did. This wouldn’t happen.

I recommend you add some rubbing alcohol to your wamp water and then strain it through a loaf of bread!

Heck, let North Carolina Baptist volunteers handle it, they had emergency food service operations capable of serving 80,000 and potable water, as well as facilities for hot showers and laundry there by Wednesday.

When some catastrophe happens overseas, we’re shipping plane loaders of food and bottled water almost the next day, but we can’t do it for our own people?

Obamas FEMA. Is a mirror of him...massive FAIL.

But, he didn’t waste anytime getting his photo op with doughboy Christie.

Style over substance is the liberal way, always.

Boy Christy should has made his name mud among conservatives and in the GOP hasn’t he. Will we get an Ann Coulter repudiation column after the election?

FEMA: A big fat bloated inneficient government bureaucracy that sits around doing nothing until they are needed, and then they do nothing.
