Storm-ravaged and weary Rockaways residents cornered Mayor Bloomberg yesterday to angrily demand more aid for their devastated neighborhood.

The lessons from Katrina/Sandy that most people NEVER understand yet we conservatives already knew:

When the SHTF, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!!

There will be be NO HELP from government, government ‘officials’ are taking care of their OWN families as well as political cronies and LEO will be protecting their OWN families.

You can’t fool anyone ,we know you are mac daddy.

But this is the Era of Entitlement where wealth re-distribution runs rampant!

Is the Red Cross still showing their “looking presidential” campaign ads for Obama? I saw them only one day here in Arizona. Then they just disappeared. Are they still showing them anywhere else? Thanks!

I am in AZ also...hated those ads. Now they have started showing an ad for Salvation Army without obama. Very nice, Salvation Army does a much better job than the Red Cross. (domestically, not sure about internationally)

“dark side”.. looting sneaker shops.. that’s racist

[FlingWingFlyer]

Thanks neighbor. I’m wondering if those Red Cross ads might have hurt their cause more than helped it. With the country where it is right now, I don’t think using Obama as a pitch man was a very good choice. They automatically alienated 50% of their potential donors. Stupid move.

Did NO ONE capture this on video???

Come on, people, learn how to fight.

Better get some free birth control down there, and quick!

Hah, hah....Dah Mare ran back to City Hall as fast as his short little legs could carry him....where he breathed a sigh of relief and breathlessly coughed up sympathy hairballs for the plight of the residents from whom he just narrowly escaped.

Oh, how it must really suck for Bloomie to get caught cold on the street with all those declassees and peasants screaming at him when he definitely is more comfortable with the wealthy NYC salon and art gallery set.

Dennis Miller could have a ball with this whole episode....it's like a skit from a Broadway burlesque show.

I bet those people would vote for Romney once the first Romney buses rolled in with all those relief supplies that the democrats were mocking him for..

HERE's THE VIDEO

[Gay State Conservative]

Geeze...to hell with international *election monitors*...send some international rescuers to NYC.Maybe China's got a few hundred thousand engineers they can send.

Romney is not politicising the storm at all. Obama is out there this morning campaigning on it! I couldn’t believe he was using the storm on the trail to brag about what he’s done. Ugly and unbecoming

[SkyPilot]

Wow! That video is pretty intense.

[The Sons of Liberty]

I’m guessing Bloomie was there for a photo op, and like his mentor, Barry Benghazi, he was not prepared to do anything productive.

[Alice in Wonderland]

Bloomie went to the public housing projects, lol. I guess he was afraid to go to the west end where the real damage is and the fires occured.

From the article:
"Cops yesterday uncovered the body of 90-year-old George Stathis, who was found dead in his home on Beach 121st Street."

His son co-founded The Graybeards and The Wounded Warrior Project in Rockaway.

Miller has enough material from Bloomy and Barky during this disaster to last him for ten years!

[Walkingfeather]

Let Obama do it. It will be to his political demise. He has been all promise and nothing but incompetence delivered. The left will turn on bloomberg and all of them.
