White House rejects federal disaster status for Texas wildfires...

"Late Tuesday, Gov. Rick Perry criticized the White House after learning that his April 16 request for a federal major disaster declaration and additional help had been rejected. Wildfires since November have blackened at least 2.2 million acres and damaged or destroyed more than 400 homes across the state, the governor said.

The federal government has already provided Texas with grants for response activities, FEMA spokeswoman Rachel Racusen told The Associated Press in a statement."

“When nearly 7,000 individual wildfires burn through more than 2.2. million acres, result in loss of life, and destroy homes, businesses, farms and ranches across the state, it’s hard to understand how these conditions don’t spell ‘disaster’ for this Administration," said Cornyn on Wednesday."

Obama's administration did nothing but send some fire advisors down here. This is what we get from our thug in chief! I hope liberal texans remember this when it's time to go to the polls!

Of course there is no support for TX from the Regime. No votes to buy down there. Now if a water main breaks in Philthidalphia, FEMA will be there in minutes.

And they advised the fires on how to finish burning down the state. Obama hates Texas.

“Obama hates Texas.”

Believe me...it’s mutual! Obama acts like our federal taxdollars are his to hand out as he pleases to all of his cronies!

Dare I say it.....’OBAMA HATES WHITE PEOPLE’!

Funny he’d do this to a state which he only lost by “a few points”?

Texas is in desperate need to help the victims of these fires. They are devastating.Obama is vindictive.He makes no bones about that.( Example:the middle finger gesture of “scratching” his head during speeches about certain individuals.) He is a no class act and proves it daily in his response to those who didn’t vote for his marxist policies.

No doubt about it. The only question he asks when he hands out federal dollars is, “Are these my guys, or not?”

This is the thanks Texas gets for taking in all those refugees from NOLA.

“Not even to re-establish lizard habitat?”

Not to change the subject but...
Obama’s thugs are too busy blowing up levees along the Mississippi River right now to be bothered with lizards. Mark my word...this flood that is developing all along the Ms. River is an opportunity to the enviro-nazi’s. They are going to flood millions of acres of farmland up and down the Mississippi River in the next few weeks. They have been wanting to do it for years and now the crisis cannot be wasted so to speak.

Get ready for skyrocketing food prices this fall...stock up now.

It’s a redstate-Obama plays politics openly and without hesitation. If Eric Holder’s “people” had set the fires, they’d get a “get out of jail free” card as well.
