RUSH: I want to go to the audio sound bites. I want to show you, I want you to hear what ungrateful sounds like. I want you to hear what a lack of gratitude sounds like. I want you to hear self-centered selfishness. I want you to hear what it sounds like when a citizen of this country does not appreciate this regime. Last night in Staten Island, they had a town hall meeting about the Hurricane Sandy, the victims and the repair, the cleanup, and the putting every back together. An unidentified guy stood up and said this...
MAN: We are the people of the middle class, and we're getting the finger! You were there when I met Obama, and I told President Obama, "You told us you were gonna cut the red tape." And I told him, "The middle class is getting' the royal finger." And what did he say? "FEMA works for me." FEMA ain't doing nothing still. They keep going around in a circle, and they go "Denied," to this. "Denied!" Oh, but you called them up. "We're still looking at your thing." It's a joke! We need to take action and be real! Miller Field is government property. Get the trailers there so every one of us can (garbled) have homes!
TOWN HALL: (cheers and applause)
RUSH: How ungrateful can you get? Here is a hurricane victim in Staten Island, New York. The president promised to take care of 'em. The president promised to cut the red tape. The president promised to fix everything for 'em, and listen to 'em. Man, oh, man! The lack of appreciation for the president on this is striking at me. That's ungrateful, right there. Right there is selfishness. You heard it just as well as I heard it. He talked to the president, and the president said he's gonna have FEMA cut the red tape. And what? How long has it been, three weeks?
What does he expect, miracles?
You people, I tell you what. If you don't learn fast to appreciate this government that you elected -- if you don't learn fast to show your love, devotion, and appreciation -- I shudder to think what's gonna happen. I mean, after all, what more do you want? The president came to see you for a half hour. He palled around with the governor of New Jersey. He told you he was gonna fix it. Don't you realize that's good enough for 53% of the country? Why is it not good enough for you, ingrates? Here, let's go back and listen to the president, November 15th, New York City...
OBAMA: During difficult times like this, we're reminded that we're bound together and we have to look out for each other, and a lot of the things that seem important, the petty differences melt away, and we focus on what binds us together and that we, as Americans, are gonna stand with each other in their hour of need. We are gonna make sure that we stay here as long as people need that immediate help. That's FEMA's primary task.
RUSH: See, it's fixed. If you still got a problem at your house it's your problem, not his, 'cause he's done it. This wanton show of un-appreciation is un-American. This selfishness! This ungrateful attitude! I mean, going to a town hall meeting after the president promises he's gonna fix it. I mean, take a look New Jersey. People in New Jersey are fine. The governor there, Chris Christie, hugged Obama and the storm damage was healed instantly. And then the governor of New York, he's already thanked the president for saving the city. I mean, what more committee do?
CUOMO: Mr. President, thank you to you, because you have exemplified the spirit of partnership and the spirit of community. I was personally amazed and touched by your phone calls and attention even during times that were very, very busy. You were there for us. You were there for New York, and we thank you, Mr. President.
RUSH: So if you're on Staten Island and your home hasn't been fixed, you have to be a Republican. But regardless, you're ungrateful, and it's unbecoming. It's unbecoming. I don't know what to think anymore about this.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You people in Staten Island, who do you think you are? Do you think you're Haiti? Do you think you're New Jersey? Remember all the millions of dollars Obama immediately sent to Haiti? I mean, he even sent Bill Clinton to Haiti. When it's all said and done, the United States sent more than a billion dollars to Haiti. How much has gone to Staten Island? And, by the way, this town hall meeting last night -- and there was a lot of unhappiness because there hasn't been anything done in Staten Island.
Do you know the national media didn't cover it? Nobody from the Drive-Bys was there. Strictly local media. You contrast that with the way Hurricane Katrina was covered. The national media lived in New Orleans! The national media shed tears in New Orleans. Part of the flooding was Anderson Cooper's tears and Shep What's His Name, Smith's tears. Crying all day long, all day and all night on television. And you can't find the national media in Staten Island. And even the local media... I've got a story from Staten Island, New York, by Channel 11, WPIX in New York.
They got a four-page story. You print it out here with accompanying video, and Obama's not is not in the story. And these people are upset at Obama. That sound bite we played is just one little excerpt. People, they believed Obama. He came in and he told 'em he was gonna cut the red tape. "FEMA's gonna be here. You're gonna get your phone call answered in 15 minutes." Nothing's happened. Meanwhile, the governor has praised Obama for saving New York. And if you're outside the region, you don't know a thing about this 'cause the Drive-Bys aren't there. They're not covering it.
They are wherever Obama is.
END TRANSCRIPT
Were these people of color, you would not have to listen to Rush for the outrage. Different colors compared to Katrina.
Plus Staten islanders are conservative.
He’s looking at the camera thinking...I hope this looks like I give a damn.
That's my line from now on...I didn't vote for him...What the hell is your problem!!!!!!!!!
(and... NO...I'm not hiring...Keeping the crew i have....Check with an Obama voter owned business....
New Yorkers, kiss it, you still voted for this turd. Repair your city by yourself, just like Joplin MO did after a tornado demolished the entire city. FEMA didn’t do crap, the businesses and people of Missouri gave very generously of their time, money and resources to get Joplin back up and running.
This is just a small glimpse of how our health care system is going to look like. Federal govt doing what it does best - pays too much for everything, limits it’s access to those who need it, and only provides to those who won’t work for it.
“he’s gonna have FEMA cut the red tape.”
Translation: He’s gonna shovel the money out like there’s no tomorrow.
A great opportunity for chicanery, cons, and scams.
People in NY just “can’t hep it”. They truly believe what the government tells them.
Obama doesn’t like white people——never has.
It appears the Media doesn’t have much use for them either.
A billion dollars for Haiti, Not many white folks there.Obama is elected now, he doesn’t need Staten Island, New Jersey, or anyone else.
America sure did something when they re-elected this turkey.
That damn George Bush still hasn’t got FEMA running right...
Well...it can’t be Obama fault....
Bureaucracies are all about paperwork and records. Pretty soon we’ll be told by a FEMA administrator that we have nothing to complain about...FEMA has visited with a zillion Sandy victims and here’s the records to prove it. Well, maybe they did visit with all those people, but where is the actual help. Have you ever noticed that whenever you call a public agency or a non-profit asking for some sort of help, the first thing they do is to get your name and address and fill out their form. That’s to produce a record to show when it comes to funding the agency or non-profit. Very seldom is any real help initiated other than to refer you to another agency which adds to the new agency’s record also. Nothing is ever really acomplished except for paperwork to benefit the agency’s machine.
Since the Whaambulance refused to come to deal with my acute dyspepsia induced by that Libtard Whiner on Statin Island, I’ll have to provide my own relief. Relief comes from unloading of a Libtard. ;-)
So - - I suggest that had Mr. Big Sh*tty Libtard purchased insurance, he would not be whining for help from the government. Actually, the correct term for what the Whiner wanted is “charity”.
As the famous incident between Rep. Davy Crockett and Horatio Bunce makes clear, Gubbament can’t do charity because it is a power not given to the Federal Gubment.
As the Statan Islander has not bought any insurance, certainly he has thereby saved so much money he can take care of himself.
Oh, no money and no insuranced, eh. Go fight with the troll for space under the bridge. New Yawk is a bastion of socialism, and thus my Give-A-Damn Ver.101 won’t load for them.

Yeah, just like Bill Clinton cried for Ron Brown at his funeral.
I am afraid disaster is the only thing that MIGHT change blue state minds.
If we only had the option of fixing one thing, it would be the way in which information is disseminated to the citizens. The Leftwing cabal in media are largely responsible for the true inequity of representation and opportunity in this great Country. This is where the battle must be fought.
This kinda takes me back.......... back to Katrina.
And they will continue to vote Democrat!
You can’t fix retarded.
What do you expect from old, angry, white people?
