Resident: "Staten Island is dead... it's been abandoned... Obama and Bloomberg lied to us..."

Fox News Live | 11/9/12 | Boden

[pabianice]

Staten Island resident William Boden interviewed by phone. Staten Island has been abandoned. No electricity, no gas, no heat. People without shelter, clothing, food, water. Staten Island is gone and will never come back. Obama and Bloomberg lied to us. Red Cross absent. Promised FEMA aid absent. No aid of any kind. People lost all personal possessions in flooded, wrecked houses.

If the MSM had given Sandy even 10% of the sickeningly wall to wall coverage they gave Katrina we’d be awaiting the Romney Administration right now.

[Cheerio]

Obama and Bloomberg lied to us..."

WTF? You are just now discovering that every time ZERO opens his pie hole out comes another LIE? No wonder he won reelection (IMHO it was stolen).

[Tupelo]

Billy boy, it's YOUR president, YOUR Governor, YOUR mayor and I am sure YOU and yours voted for them so Billy boy enjoy your victory.

[Neidermeyer]

The Official Reality is that everything is OK, everything is being handled, no problems.

I hear the chocolate ration is being increased from 2 lbs. to 24 ounces a year per person...

The Mayor said he had a few spare rooms in some of his homes and would be happy to rent them out at a reasonable rate...all a person has to do is make it to Bermuda.

Mercy Chefs has set up it’s kitchens on Staten Island and is serving thousands of hot meals. Of course they don’t get any publicity.

[TheRhinelander]

But I read it on Free Republic! It’s gotta be true! LOL!

[Dr. Ursus]

Staten Island is heavily Republican!

[who knows what evil?]

Tennessee...Kentucky...Joplin...Staten Island...

FEMA was created in 1978. Its primary purpose was to coordinate the response to a disaster that has occurred in the US that overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities. The governor of the state must declare a state of emergency and formally request from the president that FEMA respond to the disaster.

FEMA was never intended to put people in highchairs and feed them food and water. In the real world that's for the locals to do.

How could federal outsiders know better than locals how to help?

We've all gotten the socialist mentality.

[Romulus]

Staten Island has been abandoned. No electricity, no gas, no heat. People without shelter, clothing, food, water. Staten Island is gone and will never come back.

It's been reported that literally "dozens" of blocks have been devastated. The self-pity and lack of perspective are staggering.

It’s been more than a week, the media has stopped paying attention.

Only because the White House occupant is a D, not an R.

Same here. There's no difference now between American's urban centers and East Berlin, except the inhabitants in one are unwilling to live free, while inhabitants of the other willingly risked their lives to live free in the West. "You are leaving the American Sector" indeed.

[ejonesie22]

Oh no, all those poor people. Obama must not have gotten a new boat yet. HE’S COMING!!! HE WILL SAVE YOU!!!

[lowbridge]

Bump

[RegulatorCountry]

Reject red state aid, reject red state politics, then whine about getting what you so obviously wanted? What you voted for?

Fix it yourself, if you can.

[Army Air Corps]

You voted for Dear Reader. Live with it.

[Army Air Corps]

Good to know.

[hal ogen]

Oh, come on... nobama had a new “leather” bomber jacket on. That has to be worth something.

“We are going to become East Germany. Secret police, gulags, missing people in the middle of the night as the secret police drag them away screaming and people keeping quiet so they won't be next. Yup. Enjoy communism folks. THIS is what it is like. The biggies have theirs and everyone else has nothing. Its coming. Full speed ahead.”

For a more visual effect watch “The lives of others”
Its a German film about life in East Germany under the Stasi. It's chilling.
