I saw, with my own eyes, the President himself touring the devastation PERSONALLY!
Why, he even hugged someone to make them feel better!
And how can there be looting?
There is no mention of it on the news!

Same here, in fact, I’ve had to try donating much of my food to local churches and charities instead of actually keeping it for the storm, which didn’t really knock out power in my part of Delaware at all. The flooding though, a problem. But given the fireplace, myself and my wife could survive over a week without power, plus we’ve got plenty of books, and little tweaking aspects of the house to pass the time, plus, we could actually, given the food, toilet paper, etc., in reserve, we could also support four additional people. I know what you’re saying however, it seems all too many people don’t seem to know what life without power is.
Husseins fault!
Husseins fault!
Isn’t there an app for that? (Eye roll)
He really congratulated Obama way too soon. In fact, wouldn’t it have made more sense to wait say, 1 week, at least, just to demonstrate that the recovery was nearly complete? Anyways, I guess Christie thinks like the Nobel Prize Committee, and won’t be a viable presidential candidate in the near future either. Oh well, that’s his loss.
lol
Right. Abolish FEMA and use a new app to coordinate the response to disasters. heh
One more thing.
Prepare to be a leader. You may not need to be but having a plan to lead will come in handy if you find neighbors looking for direction.
Have no fear. The Distributer in Chief is in Vegas at the craps.tables, turning our tax dollars into relief funds.
The “gubmint” just gets in the way.
If the politically correct “anti-gouging” officials would just let the free market work, there would be no shortages in very short order.
It was a Category One storm. The near hysterical coverage by the news media with reports of a ‘Frankenstorm’ or ‘The Perfect Storm’ made it seem like another Camille or Andrew. It affected a lot of people due to population density, but as far as hurricanes go it was not a super storm. I lived in Fla for over 30 years and took the media coverage as kind of an insult to the folks in the South East who’ve gone through much worse. Things will be better in a few days, till then you just have to deal with it.
LOLOLOL!!! Love that Looter Guy!!!!!
How can this be? Didn’t nobama fly over the area and bless it? All praise the nobama.
FEMA is little more than another bloated entitlement program. The Mayor of NJ is already calling for them to pay for dune restoration.
This can’t be!
Just yesterday I saw Bams on TV saying no red tape, just call the goovermint and they will get to you in 15 minutes!
They even have a website with everything you need on it.

Makes sense.
It’s always best to not try and be prepared so you can be a burden on the rest of us.
First of all, Sandy was estimated to be four times more powerful than the Perfect Storm.
Second, many folks are saying the Saffir-Simpson scale needs to be re-worked to not just rely on wind and structural damage. Katrina hit as a Cat 3 but had Cat 5 surge. Ike hit as a Cat 2 but had Cat 4 surge. Sandy was a Cat 1 with Cat 3 surge. Sense a pattern? Very large storms, covering a wide expanse of ocean, can create surge much larger than their wind-driven Saffir-Simpson scale ratings. And surge is in most cases the most destructive aspect of hurricanes (with Andrew being a notable exception).
Maybe if Crispie Creme didn’t spend so much time getting his face on every morning show in the country and schmoozing with Obama, this may not have happened.
Which sounds ridiculous
