Parts of ( red state) W. VA are still cut off by 2 1/2 feet of snow dropped by Sandy. Hey, MSM, the storm was 800 mi. wide, and affected something other than the beloved roller coaster of your sepia tinted childhood memories of the Jersey Shore. Send your foreign correspondents who are back for storm coverage to flyover country.

Obama's Katrina.

Yes, it is, but no one will know: the "media" won't report it 'cuz it will make Zero look bad. Now if Bush was still Prez, they'd be all over it!

It’s the ‘stand down’ anti-American’s fault!

They should just give everyone $500 to go buy their own food and water and place to live for a few days/weeks rather than waiting on FEMA to do anything.

Well, the people of Staten Island can just stand with their mouths open when the next nor’easter comes up the coast next week.

If you don’t live in the better sections of Manhattan, you don’t count.

Disease is inevitable now. The belief that FEMA could do anything is a belief in a false god.

These problems are going to continue. There was great jubilation that ConEd had restored power to parts of lower Manhattan. I know from professional experience that cables will begin to fault because of salt water intrusion. Sure enough there are reports of it happening now. These problems will continue to play out for months and years.

The problem will not be limited to underground electric, but will also include natural gas lines. They may purge them an get service restored, but the chlorides have already contaminated the distribution system. Over the coming years internal corrosion will result in extensive damage to the system. The cost of repairs and replacement will be staggering.

Add gas furnaces, boilers, hot water heaters, electric panels and pumps to the mix of damaged infrastructure and the extent of this disaster will be staggering as is the inevitable human impact.

Finally, there will be little time for mitigation as winter is setting in. Government will not solve these problems. Government by it's very nature will make them worse. That is my prediction and I am standing by it.

Whenever the President declares a Federal Emergency, the cost shifts to 75% all taxpayers, and 25%max from the declared State. Obama has a “ton” of disasters...more than any other president in history. Here they are if anyone is interested.

Gee, I keep hearing how this is being handled way better than Bush did for Katrina.

No one is sleeping on their roofs waiting to be rescued, they are getting fuel, food, shelter, etc.

Isn’t there some way to air lift supplies in to the residential areas? I’d heard that Trump was going to supply a huge amount of drinking water.

I was in Ike and the county commissioner had to threaten them with commandeering their trucks and jailing the if they did not get their butts inb gear. He turned the air not just ble but ultraviolet blue and they finallly got going. It apppears that Fema has deteriorated since then.

#1- I’m sorry Sandy happened.
#2- I’m happy Sandy happened.
I pray FEMA will be exposed for what they truly are. Maybe NYC and NJ will be able to do that. It’s starting already.

Hopefully Romney will look into FEMA and get rid of them completely.

They should call Wal-Mart. I'm sure they have stock and will provide.

Above is NOT intended to be humorous. Wal-Mart takes immediate action on news of a storm like this, and pre-stages additional stocks of storm supplies in close proximity (but not directly in) the impact area. I read a story about the response of Wal-Mart (and Home Depot, and a few others) by comparison the FEMA in the response to Katrina in the Gulfport/Biloxi area. Wal-Mart was, for a large chunk of time, the ONLY place that victims and rescue workers could get supplied.

Obama is crashing. He now has his own “Katrina” (Sandy) around his neck, and so well deserved. Totally useless human being, and....he has set Black Americans back 150 years!!! How any Black American could have ever voted for this known “flim/flam”, Chicago shyster, is beyond basic common sense, and candid comprehension!!! My heart aches for, our slain American heroes, murdered, because this failed POTUS hung them out to dry & die!!! May God grant them paradise and rest-in-peace, forever. As for murderer Obama, the Lord above will meter out due justice to him and the ilk that supported him!!! Obama, American Traitor!!!
