While watching the barely-existent coverage of the ice storms in Kentucky that have the entire Kentucky National Guard mobilized, I cannot help but ask the following questions about the LACK of response from the Obama administration...and how it is a very close parallel to the Hurricane Katrina situation that was so harmful to the Bush presidency, only instead of a lot of black folks in danger, this time it's a lot of white folks...
Why aren't Kentuckians sitting on top of their houses, wailing at the constant whir of news helicopters for rescue?
Why aren't Kentuckians on TV demanding that the gummint save them, save them, save them?
Why aren't Kentuckians rioting, looting, boldly walking into shuttered convenience stores insisting that they just want food to survive and instead walking out with beer, wine and malt liquor?
Why aren't Kentuckians looting electronic stores for big-screen TVs?
Why aren't Kentuckians all being herded into a huge stadium where they will destroy the facility and murder fellow refugees?
Why aren't the big four TV networks, all the cable news channels and a herd of newspaper reporters there sticking cameras and mikes into their faces to demand that the gummint do something to save them?
Why isn't Kentucky's governor holed up in a safe area away from the weather?
Why isn't the state's largest city mayor holed up with the governor in a safe place away from the weather after having abandoned his city?
Why isn't Soledad O'Brien broadcasting live with her CNN ball cap and jaunty ponytail showing the poor, poor, poor low income people that Kentucky is famous for, barely surviving?
Why aren't Kentuckians demanding $2,000 debit cards from FEMA?
Why isn't the FEMA director being pilloried for not having his entire agency there helping?
Why isn't the mainstream media demandin to know why the president isn't there, on the scene, to help?
Why aren't Kentucky weather victims lining up for free FEMA trailers that they will then go to court to stay in two years later?
Why isn't the president being called on the carpet for racist behavior abandoning these people who so desperately need his help and being called a racist??
WHY???
I’m from Illinois too.
Nice to meet you!
Did you know Quinn is going to raise our state taxes like Blago predicted in his interview with Don and Roma (WLS890)
I hope Blago goes down fighting. I like the movie Titanic and how the ship dragged everyone down in the Vortex.
