Bwwwahahhahaaa...the FEMA guy just said- if you’ve had your entire house wiped out you’re in more need than someone wanting a bag of ice...

AND he reminds them- they were TOLD to have 3 days worth of supplies to tide them over til help arrives.

This is unbelievable...here we go again. Folks who seem to think life is a video game.

That was Judge Emmet. It looks like Houston reps are supporting the FEMA guy now, even SJL. I nearly fell out of my chair when she was talking about the difficulty of finding locations for those pods. I think the reps are holding FEMA’s feet to the fire, but aren’t piling on like the media is.

LOL..I heard that! I hope FEMA, the FEDS and The Governor’s office come out swinging on this liberal crap. You know the dem local leaders and politicians are already working to sabatoge relief and place blame for anything and everything on Bush and any other republican.

This is ridiculous!!

Houston mayor already slanting the news....(eye roll)

Perry needs to step up to the plate and tell them to shut up, and nip this Katrina budding right now. I went thru Alicia and was without power for 2 weeks. I got my occasional ice at the store and paid for it. No one brought anything “free” around. Pop Eyes was the only thing available and it wasn’t free either. To ths day I don’t like fried chicken. The “leaders” here are weak. People won’t cry for ice if they don’t make a big deal out of them needing it.

I just saw that news conference, and someone should put a sock in White's mouth. He started it. My kids and small grandkids are in Tomball, without power like everyone else, so my DIL and two small grandsons will probably be going to her mother's in Dallas as soon as they can get out, while my son stays. No big deal! They're grateful they had minimal damage. They don't need freakin ice, or MRE's or cleaning supplies. Cleaning supplies? Fema now has to give people brooms?

AAAAGH! We were without power, like so many others often are, in So. FL for three weeks in 2005. We had major damage, but we survived; we had our own supplies; we're not rich, but we didn't need FEMA.

I couldn't help thinking that was a community organizer bi*ch in the audience.

I can't watch anymore -- it makes me want to throw something.

I was in Charleston, SC during Hugo and I imagine that many of these folks complaining can do the same thing I did. I drove 80 miles to buy anything I didn’t have, then spent 1.5 days in a shopping center passing out relief supplies to those who couldn’t or wouldn’t get the goods they needed. Still remember one woman complaining because she couldn’t get fresh meat.
