Hurricane Sandy has become Barack Obama's Katrina.












I'm going to present  a scenario  for you all to think about. Imagine if you will a strong hurricane that struck in a densely populated area which flooded cities and towns leaving thousands of people stranded while also knocking out power to millions of people. Now imagine that days after the storm has passed, people were starving due to a lack of food which resorted to in some cases looting, areas running out of gas, immense infrastructure damage etc.















Lastly, let's say that the federal government's response was not up to par. Are you  thinking I am making reference to George W Bush and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans? No, I am not. This is what is happening in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in New York City and in parts of New Jersey like Hoboken.
Four days after Sandy, people in Staten Island New York have no food., clothing, gasoline for their generators etc.  Five years ago, then U.S Senator Barack Obama implied that the slow response to Hurricane Katrina victims was due to racism. Rapper Kayne West claimed that "Bush didn't care about black people" because of how Katrina was handled. Progressives and their media allies made it their mission to tar and feather President Bush as a racist.  So let's talk about Sandy. Is Obama a racist also? Do the same rules apply and if not why not?The only contrasts as I see it is that in the case of Sandy, many of the victims of the Sandy are white as opposed to the Katrina victims in New Orleans who were mostly black. Also, we can't ignore the other obvious. Bush was a white male Republican where as Obama is a black male Democrat. Of course progressives are going to be quick to claim that there is no double standard in how these two weather related tragic events have been covered. Of course, I know better. The media was more then happy to take pictures of Barack Obama with Governor Chris Christie in an attempt to give him a boost in the polls . Good luck in the national media showing footage of people garbage diving for food , because they can't get any help from the government. Correction, they would show it if the president was white and a Republican that is. Sandy is Obama' Katrina no doubt about it.

I cannot believe what I've just read! My dear fellow, are you so entangled and obsessed with partisan politics and race that you've lost every last ounce of common decency? I had to leave or lost almost everything I owned in Queens. Before the storm hit, I was fortunate enough to have the means to move myself and my kids to my dads home here in Michigan. There are many of my neighbors and friends who were not as fortunate as myself who had no choice but to stay in the area. I am a white female, but many of my neighbors are of all different races. Just as with hurricane Katrina, the storm does not care what race you are. That is what makes your commentary so disheartening. You, not the storm, are racially politicizing a tragedy. You wrote about Kanye West's, who's comments at the time were completely baseless without fact. Kanye West is an idiot. But your comments makes West's comments sound like a nursery rhyme. You sir are a stupid jerk! The people on the east coast are not suffering from a lack of government or to much government. They are not suffering from a policy of black versus white. They are suffering from the aftermath of a huge storm. An act of nature. If you had half a brain you would not even compare this tragedy with what happened in Katrina. Katrina is over and done and you should have learned to move on. My neighbors back home, White, Black, Hispanic, Jamaican, Japanese are in the midst of the most challenging crisis of their lives. If you were half a man and had half a heart, you would find a way to help them, not politicize them.

Ahhhhhh, how soon do we forget.

What happened to blaming the local officials for not doing everything in their power to help? What happened to the lack of a local "coordinated effort" to remove people out of the storms way? Shouldn't you have some scathing criticism for Gov. Christie and Gov. Cuomo? Even more so, how come you're not blaming the "government dependent lazy slobs" who didn't think enough about themselves or their families to get out of harms way?

In a news video on Wednesday, a New Jersey parking lot was shown with hundreds of buses nearly submerged in flood waters. If memory serves me correctly, you wrote an essay with a similar captioned picture in the days following Hurricane Katrina.

But what I remember most is your daily "hating" against the people who were unable to leave due to economic circumstances. As you so eloquently put; "people were starving due to a lack of food which resorted to in some cases looting, areas running out of gas, immense infrastructure damage etc...", so where is that same disdain for them you had for the Katrina victims?

Unlike you, I see the devastation and suffering left by the storm. In comparison with Katrina (or any other domestic tragedy) I've seen similar, if not even more coverage on television, print and internet media.

So, how long before the right-wing launches it's attack on the victims of the hurricane? If you guys are going to be consistent, you better get going. I think the best place to start should be Staten Island. They were the worst hit. But while you guys are busy attacking them, I'll do what I typically do during similar crisis... I'll send what I can to the relief efforts and pray for their quick recovery.

Who believes Obama really is a racist? I do; even though he may be half-white, and hung out with such racist radicals like Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Prove to me otherwise that he is not. I can say the same thing about his wife too.

But that is my opinion.

As for the way that he is handling the situation with aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, right now, "race" is irrelevant. Where's FEMA at this moment? All I seen Obama do was make a few public appearances take a few photo shoots with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christy and flies off after half a day surveying the damage.
Still the liberal media is complaining about Romney sticking around handing out food and other necessities through charitable donations and claims he's taking credit. At least he stuck around
to help out!

Big Pop;"Who believes Obama really is a racist? I do; even though he may be half-white, and hung out with such racist radicals like Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Prove to me otherwise that he is not. I can say the same thing about his wife too".

That's strange talk Big Pop, considering YOU VOTED FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA! The Rev. Wright story was around long before the election...but you voted for him anyway? The right-wing attacks on the first lady were around long before the election, yet you somehow found it in your heart to vote for her husband?

BTW, you've yet to give some answers to my questions on the previous thread. I asked, why did you vote for President Obama in 2008, yet you claim you had a sudden awakening to the evils of liberalism and the economic destructiveness of the progressive left wing policies.

You also claimed you were "codependent" on others for a long time. So, if your epiphany occurred after you voted for the president, and his destructive economic policies, how is it you were so fortunate to get a good enough job to acquire and maintain your own home?

Let's be honest here.... A few months ago you accused me of posting under assumed names. Well, I'm about ready to accuse you of being a liar! (at least on your claim of having voted for President Obama). Don't let it scare you off though. There are plenty of "fake liberals" running around doing and saying the same.

Annette "I cannot believe what I've just read! My dear fellow, are you so entangled and obsessed with partisan politics and race that you've lost every last ounce of common decency?"

My dear Annette, I'm far from being partisan. I'm not even a registered Republican nor Democrat. I'm an independent. I am however very good at observing and remembering events. I'm not going to simply ignore reality, because some people like yourself may find it uncomfortable. If I am factually incorrect in my comparison between the the aftermath response of Katrina as compared to Sandy, simply tell me how I am wrong. If I was a partisan, I would have blamed Obama for what is going on in New Jersey and New York, I haven't done that. The same way Katrina wasn't Bush's fault neither is Sandy and Katrina. In both cases, government was the problem in it's disastrous response.

Annette "I had to leave or lost almost everything I owned in Queens. Before the storm hit, I was fortunate enough to have the means to move myself and my kids to my dads home here in Michigan. There are many of my neighbors and friends who were not as fortunate as myself who had no choice but to stay in the area. I am a white female, but many of my neighbors are of all different races."

If you are indeed a victim of Sandy, then I hope everything works for you Annette. As I was making reference to race, I did so because it is more then well known that certain people with a leftists political bent MADE KATRINA ABOUT RACE. So I am merely contrasting Katrina to Sandy. If Katrina was never politicized based on race, I would have never thought of comparing Sandy to Katrina.

Annette"Just as with hurricane Katrina, the storm does not care what race you are. That is what makes your commentary so disheartening. You, not the storm, are racially politicizing a tragedy. You wrote about Kanye West's, who's comments at the time were completely baseless without fact. Kanye West is an idiot. But your comments makes West's comments sound like a nursery rhyme."

This blog is about political commentary. You would be very mistaken almost naive if you think Hurricane Sandy isn't being politicized right now from by the national media not reporting things how bad they really are. Mayor Bloomberg politicized Sandy by endorsing Obama on "climate change". Others who support the junk science of global warming are politicizing Sandy to support their views etc. So if you are going to be upset about what I say, you might be upset at everyone who has something to say on the issue Annette.

Stupid is not knowing Annette, and I have posted more about the aftermath of this storm then the media has.I've never been called a jerk before, but I do prefer to called asshole. It just has a better ring to it.

Annette "The people on the east coast are not suffering from a lack of government or to much government. They are not suffering from a policy of black versus white.

How exactly did you come across what I wrote Annette, just curious. So you are in Michigan and just happened to come across this blog, interesting. If you weren't outraged about how Katrina wasn't politicized, then you are a hypocrite to the tenth degree if you are "upset" to me making a comparison reference Annette. I've said what I had to say about what is going on in New Jersey and New York, you getting emotional isn't going to end anyone's suffering any quicker. Instead of focusing on what I said, how about your focus on what's going on back home, just a thought Annette, hope everything works out.

p allen "Ahhhhhh, how soon do we forget."

Not me allen, I tend to have a memory like a steel trap when needed.

P Allen "What happened to blaming the local officials for not doing everything in their power to help? What happened to the lack of a local "coordinated effort" to remove people out of the storms way? Shouldn't you have some scathing criticism for Gov. Christie and Gov. Cuomo?"

Yeah, what happened indeed allen. You know like what happen to you guys blaming Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco after Katrina? I didn't hear one ounce of criticism leveded their way after Katrina, all the blame went to "Fema and George Bush". Have you "forgotten that"? In the grand scheme of things, local and state governments are the first responders in natural disasters, the federal government is suppose to come in at the request of the governor, when it's resources can't handle the situation.

p allen "Even more so, how come you're not blaming the "government dependent lazy slobs" who didn't think enough about themselves or their families to get out of harms way?"

For starters, I never referred to people in New Orleans as "lazy slobs" but that's neither here or there. I am not sure if Bloomberg ever issued evacuation orders to the people in New York City that goes the same for Christie. As for Katrina, It was a Category 4 storm but Sandy was a Category 1. I don't know if people are required to evacuate over at Cat 1 storm allen.

p allen "But what I remember most is your daily "hating" against the people who were unable to leave due to economic circumstances."

Actually I was hating against the looters who were stealing televisions and other electronics in the middle of a flooded city.

p allen" As you so eloquently put; "people were starving due to a lack of food which resorted to in some cases looting, areas running out of gas, immense infrastructure damage etc...", so where is that same disdain for them you had for the Katrina victims? "

I'm not a fan of stealing. You know the whole "thou shall not steal", but if you are starving then there might be a grey area. Again, taking non food items was no excuse. Matter of fact, I posted a video of a people looting and stealing televisions and coats.

P Allen "So, how long before the right-wing launches it's attack on the victims of the hurricane? "

The right wing didn't launch into an attack of the victims, they launched into attacks on the people who blamed Bush and those who used the storm to loot for personal gain allen. Of course, you'll never admit the obvious.

p allen "If you guys are going to be consistent, you better get going. I think the best place to start should be Staten Island. They were the worst hit. But while you guys are busy attacking them, I'll do what I typically do during similar crisis... I'll send what I can to the relief efforts and pray for their quick recovery. "

You should talk about consistency allen. Why you think I made the post in comparing Katrina and Sandy in the first place, it was to show the hypocrisy of the left, which I did very well.

Joe, I read a story yesterday about people in Bridgeport Connecticut actually throwing eggs at the utility people who were there to restore their power! The mayor was scum to demonize the utility company and the workers, but the people were gullible dopes to buy into it. The utility company said the "earliest" to restore your Moth-In-Law's power is November 11th!!!!! DANG!!! That's insane. I can imagine she's not nowhere near being a happy camper right now. Hopefully they'll have it back on way sooner then later Joe. With the gas lines, good idea your wife is filling up as many gas containers as possible in one stop.

First of all Allen, before you start accuing me of being a liar, I did answer your question, but for some reason it did not get posted. And speaking of not answering questions, I noticed that you (and Gerald T.) did not answer Anonymous’ question if you ever attended a Tea Party rally.

Anyway, here is my answer (for the second time):

I was at Salvation Army long before Barack Obama came into the public eye. For years I was a registered Democrat. I did not wake up one day and say, “Gee, I’m tired of being a progressive liberal, so I’m going to be an independent conservative.” While I was at the Salvation Army, I was going to school and working. Yeah, it was hard and it helped me to mature some. After almost a year and saving, I finally got out of there.

Even before SA, I was starting to observe a pattern with liberals when it comes race. Why they always have to make cops out into criminals when it comes to gunning down a black criminal? Also, why my local liberal art school had convicted a cop killer Mumia Abdul Jamal commencement speaker at the graduation ceremony? If they could go any further, it wouldn’t surprise me if they could have had Charles Manson being a commencement speaker.

For the next few years, my political mentality was changing, but I still was a Democrat. But the exploitation of racial politics was starting to irritate me. Whenever I question these motives, suddenly, I’m called a racist by liberals. Wasn’t there any black person, who question, or stand up to the racial politics and criticize the likes of Al Sharpton and Jess Jackson? I came across Tyrone’s website by accident. He’s my inspiration.

So, why did I vote for Obama despite he associates himself with such the likes of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and terrorist Bill Ayers? Because I thought, the guy was appealing and inspiring. I question why majority of blacks who are Democrats continued to vote for the likes of former Klansman Robert Byrd, and George Wallace, a segregationist. We must agree that both men were and would always considered to be racist till their deaths.

Anyway, Obama said he was going to cut the deficit in half, instead, he added $6 trillion more. He said he would help create more jobs, but there are 23 million Americans out of work. I'm not thinking for myself, I think of my fellow Americans too.

During the Obama administration I took the time to read Tyrone’s post, read conservative books and columns by Larry Meeks, Michael Savage, Thomas Sowell, Ann Coulter, and Michell Malkin. may be employed right now and having my own home, but right now, I’m barely saving enough and had to make sacrifices so I would not wind up going back onto the streets or end up back at the Salvation Army.

Call me a Reagan Democrat or not, I’m voting for Romney because I feel that he can help get this economy going. I don’t want my country to end up like Greece.

Whether you accept my answer or not Allen, to me it’s irrelevant. People’s political views can change sooner or later.

OH PUH-LEEEEEEEEEZZZEE Tyrone...

The President of the United States issued a warning that this was going to be a monster of a storm. Days before the storm hit, every media outlet in the country dubbed it "Frankenstorm", "The Perfect Storm", "Sandy Superstorm." Mayor Bloomberg called for a mandatory evacuation in low-lying areas of New York City. Chris Christie issued mandatory evacuations for New Jersey's barrier islands.

In this instance the category of the storm was not as important as the "SIZE" of the storm.

(beware, snark ahead)
The useless, un-needed, bureaucracy of wasted tax payer dollars, agency hated by the right-wing... government National Weather Service scared all these good citizens. Now the government is wasting even more tax dollars sending in "internment camp" FEMA brown-shirts with government hand-outs like "food, water and blankets". What's worse is that FEMA is planning to just "GIVE" them money to rebuild... disgusting! What's worst is that the socialist government just took away all our freedoms (ordering a mandatory evacuation) forcing people to leave their homes over a little rain and wind. Mandatory evacuation? Yeah right...just another attempt to take away our freedoms....

Joe;"You DON'T want to have to rely on external help from corporations or the government".

I'm with Conservative Joe. Why should 3 million people devastated by a storm have to wait around on government? All 3 million should have a few people they could call to rescue them, bring them food, water, fuel, generators and shelter. I see absolutely nothing wrong with having 3, 4 or 5 million more citizens go into a flooded, burned and blown out disaster area with millions of others to organize the mayhem. Government? You don't need no stinking government! God and guns...that's all you need.

Okay fine... You believed that a president Obama would cut the deficit and create jobs. Yet, weren't you aware that John McCain had made the same promises? Read this transcript of the Obama/McCain third debate.

Considering that by the time of the 08' election you were well on your way to conservatism, a vote for a candidate like Barack Obama was an obvious step in the opposite direction. I mean really, you had more than a daily dose of Rev. Wright, Joe the Plumber, Fox News attacks, and moreover, the more than obvious "progressive policies" which Senator Obama campaigned on (anti-Iraq war, national health care, gay rights, pro-choice abortion rights, taxing the rich, etc...).

Now you say you believe he is a racist. Yet again, you voted for him??? Okay I voted for GW Bush. Of course I knew he was a racist. And I thought that he felt he would cut the deficit and create jobs. I was also against the Iraq war. But Bush really inspired me, so I voted for him anyway...

Big Pop, with all due respect...either you're a liar, or you're one of the most ignorant, uninformed, gullible, ass-backwards voters that ever lived! Check this out Big Pop...you wrote this;

"He said he would help create more jobs, but there are 23 million Americans out of work.I'm not thinking for myself".

You're not thinking "FOR" yourself? Perhaps a Freudian slip, yet a tale-tell sign of your personal gullibility.

You said you began "read conservative books and columns by Larry Meeks, Michael Savage, Thomas Sowell, Ann Coulter, and Michell Malkin." Well guess what..? None of them voted for, and would have never considered voting for Barack Obama! Each one were staunch liberal attackers years before your claims to conservatism. I've read Sowell and Coulter books, but their idea's never convinced me of anything.

If political conservatism is your thing, fine, more power to you. But let me give you a little bit of advice with concerns to how I think, and how I believe most people who think for themselves digest information. Here's a brief example- If a "heterosexually married" male friend of 20 years suddenly told you; "I've began to notice a pattern of heterosexual society and observed how gays are being mistreated. I started reading articles and books written by homosexual writers. Over this course of events I've realized I'm gay!" Then he goes on to introduce you to his male lover....

My advise is, don't believe him because odds are 100 to 1 that he's always been gay. In the similar analogy, and according to your explanation, the odds are about the same that you voted for President Obama.

As a Hoosier currently living in New York, all I know is that SI now has people giving them food, clothes and clean water. FEMA has set-up other shelters. Transit is 75% up and running in the tri-state area (with NJ hardest hit). I believe that President Obama's first trip into the area after the storm was Halloween (the day after the storm passed). Former President Bush II did not even survey the Gulf Coast from the air until a whole week after Hurricane Katrina passed. This article was written just as FEMA & the National Guard made it to SI. If you want to criticize people for being "sheeple" at least stay up-to-date with the facts.

Just to respond to both posts:

1.) Yes, Governor Cuomo, Governor Christie and Mayer Bloomberg had mandatory evacuations for Zone A and the barrier islands: Much of Long Island, much of Staten Island, Jersey Shoreline, lower Manhattan (including South Street Seaport and Battery Park City) and City Island.

2.) Former Mayor Nagin was criticized for not pushing for a better levee system (which actually caused the major flooding in NOLA), as well as his statement that everything NOLA received from Katrina was deserved.

3.) Looting has occurred in Staten Island and Long Island, but not one looter has been killed. These are people stealing anything that is not damaged or destroyed.

4.) People have been launching attacks on the people who did not leave without knowing the reason, whether they were city workers required to work or people who did not want loitered in their homes. Not justifying people staying, but there has been tons of criticism for those SI residents and most were in Zone B (non-mandatory evacuation zone).

No hypocrisy has occurred. In fact, I think the political leaders learned from both Hurricanes Katrina and Irene. Hope the politicians care more about the people than their jobs, as natural disasters will always occur.

What I've learned too Allen, politicians from any party, will say anything to get your vote. If Romney says that he will fix the economy, if he is elected and suddenly will make things worse (God forbid), then I will admit I was wrong.

"Now you say you believe he is a racist. Yet again, you voted for him??? Okay I voted for GW Bush. Of course I knew he was a racist. And I thought that he felt he would cut the deficit and create jobs. I was also against the Iraq war. But Bush really inspired me, so I voted for him anyway..."

Are you being facetious, Allen. If I remember right, you were against Bush.
As I mentioned earlier, I was willing to forget Obama's shady past and still went ahead and voted for him. Same way blacks were willing forget the shady likes of Robert Byrd and George Wallace. Only difference is, I'm not going to repeat my mistakes for voting for Obama.

I heard similar argument like that Allen, and all the person is looking for is a conflict and to try and label me a homophobe. I have relatives, friends, classmates, and co-workers who are gay/lesbian. Like them I will treat them the way I want to be treated, with respect. I came across those who were not friendly toward me and I don't like them because of their personality, not because they are gay.
That goes for anybody else, whether they are black, white, Asian Hispanic.

To be fair, I may not be too politically savvy, like Tyrone, but I'm still learning. If I remember correctly, Tyrone did mention that he was once a liberal, and outgrew it. The way I see you and Tyrone debate, it seems you don't like it when he is not consistent with you at most times. But I also notice, that you take the time to concur with someone like Gerald. Maybe you don't like who I am because I like Tyrone and I'm not consistent with you.

I never was a liberal Big Pop, but I was a Democrat. Since I have always been an analytical thinker, obviously I didn't last long as a Democrat.lol I was a center-right Democrat and eventually became a 100% conservative. The one thing you will come to understand about liberals/progressives is that once you cut through their talking points, they have nothing. When their hypocrisy is thrown back into their face, they again have nothing. When common sense is presented to them, they have to either demonize the person making a common sense point against their talking point or they will deflect attention away to something else Big Pop. You are doing fine. You are seeing first hand how they operate.

I just want to throw this out there to the those who believe that Obama's FEMA is doing such a bang up job in helping the people in New York and New Jersey. Of course the media won't report this, but the governor of New York is saying that New York faces a "massive housing problem". New Orleans at least had FEMA trailers to house the displaced residents, so when are the people going to get theirs. Weather calls for another nor'easter to hit by mid week. So to recap as of now FEMA has no drinking water until tomorrow and they haven't found suitable shelter for these people. I don't think I left anything out did I?

FEMA went to NJ first because over half of the STATE has massive clean-up and construction issues. SI is a borough so it was Mayor Bloomberg and Governor Cuomo's responsibility to make sure that those residents were helped. Governor Cuomo was great in that effort. Mayor Bloomberg slipped up a bit. If Borough President Malinaro hadn't said anything, SI would be in much worse shape than it is now. The residents of SI have received food, clothing, water and shelter...they just need more volunteers. Want to help?

I have no idea if blacks supported George Wallace in his final years as Alabama governor. I do know that he appointed quite a few blacks to high positions during the mid-1980's.

In West Virginia blacks did support Robert Byrd. But not entirely for the point you're attempting to make. During Byrd's many terms in the senate, he was known for "bringing home the pork." He was even dubbed "the king of pork." He steered BILLIONS of dollars to his home state for almost anything the "VOTERS" could think of. That's the main reason blacks in his state supported him.

Um, I know he didn't say FEMA directly, that was who he was implying to considering that the whole criticism about bush was due to the how FEMA handled Katrina. Thanks for the input though.


anon "FEMA went to NJ first because over half of the STATE has massive clean-up and construction issues. SI is a borough so it was Mayor Bloomberg and Governor Cuomo's responsibility to make sure that those residents were helped. Governor Cuomo was great in that effort. "

If only that was the case during Katrina where the blame would have been with New Orlean's mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Governor Blanco. Well history showed that they didn't get the lion share of the blame.

anon "Mayor Bloomberg slipped up a bit. If Borough President Malinaro hadn't said anything, SI would be in much worse shape than it is now. The residents of SI have received food, clothing, water and shelter...they just need more volunteers. Want to help?"

You seem to know what they need, so would be better in volunteering then me. I did donate $20 dollars to the Salvation Army for relief efforts, that should help, thanks. As I reported though, FEMA has run out of water, so how can they be distributing something that they are out of? Furthermore, if people are being feed, how come people are dumpster diving for food? Something just isn't adding up. If you volunteer, please report back to why that is.

p allen "I have no idea if blacks supported George Wallace in his final years as Alabama governor. I do know that he appointed quite a few blacks to high positions during the mid-1980's. "

I suppose what you said George Wallace shouldn't mean much. I mean their is no possibility that George Wallace changed his ways allen. If Thurmond was thought of as a racist to the very end, then the same should apply to Wallace right? You know, the only difference between the two in the end is one had a D by his name and one had a R.

Big Pop;"If I remember correctly, Tyrone did mention that he was once a liberal, and outgrew it".

CB;"I never was a liberal Big Pop".

You can be born into a family where political party affiliation is a tradition. Most if not all people while their growing up under their parents roofs will identify with the families political party of choice. Switching political party is as easy (and common) as changing your mind. Ideology, typically, is something you decide on, and develop, on your own.

A complete and total liberal to conservative conversion, and vis-versa, is uncommon and extremely rare. The basic tenets of both ideologies are diametrical polar opposites. If a well known staunch liberal, or conservative were to claim they've changed all of their former political and social beliefs, I at best would be extremely skeptical. I would look at it in the same way as if Khalid Sheik Muhammad claimed he's changed and now says he's studying the Torah to become a Hasidic Jew.

alpha male said-"Funny you should mention Fema Gregory. Obama's fema can't seem to get their act together in New York. They ran out of water of all things, and now they need the private sector to bail them out."

lol lol lol! Fema didn't make enough of there own water so they had to pay a vendor to supply them with private sector water? Maybe the government wells went dry. Maybe the government will make more government water for the next disaster. Its really confusing because the water fema gave out at first had a brand name on it. Maybe obama is keeping all the good government water for hiself.

The moral to this story is for all nit wits to know that fema does not make water. They buy water and other supplys from the private sector to. Brietbart will make republicans think anything.

It's not common for many black people is it allen?

P allen "Ideology, typically, is something you decide on, and develop, on your own."

Most blacks are social conservatives yet vote mainly for Democrats which represent social progressiveness allen, can you explain that? I am pro life and I vote for candidates who represent my views as well on the issue of traditional marriage.

p allen "A complete and total liberal to conservative conversion, and vis-versa, is uncommon and extremely rare."

Actually it's more common for a liberal to convert to a conservative then it is vice versa. Andrew Breitbart was a liberal early on in his life before becoming an icon on the conservative right.

Gerald T "lol lol lol! Fema didn't make enough of there own water so they had to pay a vendor to supply them with private sector water? "

lol, You are funny Gerald. You know perfectly well what I meant. FEMA didn't plan for the magnitude of the situation and now they are short handed on supplies. Didn't you read the story?

Gerald T"Maybe the government wells went dry. Maybe the government will make more government water for the next disaster."

In your attempt to sound witty, you are making yourself sound foolish Gerald. The federal government doesn't own the municipal water works of New York as you know.

Gerald T"Its really confusing because the water fema gave out at first had a brand name on it. Maybe obama is keeping all the good government water for hiself."

lol, Maybe Baine Capital owns a bottled water company that decided it wasn't going to supply it's water to FEMA gerald. lol

Anon... Romney would have been no better at helping the economy then Obama, both are for printing more money (devaluing the dollar), raising the dept, continuing wars and growing Government. Only, Obama would do it slightly faster then Romney.

Annette Frankel, Well..Well, you are finally getting a dose of what the southern Whites have been going through for years. I hate to have to say it, but you are dummer then the blacks! The blacks only stayed in New Orleans to steal...FACT! 90% of blacks are lazy, and exspect the White Americans to keep them up, you can only Ride a Dead horse but so long, and the blacks have thrown up race until I am sick of it! Oh, and as far as Kanye West, He is a Black lazy Dog that is laying up with a "Stupid" White Women, and using her! I guess she will find out soon enough. Black me want White women, because tey use them to get somewhere, because they are to dang lazy to work, and I still don't see how blacks were ever Slaves, because LAZY IS NOT THE WORD FOR THEM! I have heard them Bitch about no jobs, when they would not work if it was given to them! I was that Linclon has lived long enough to get those black bumbs back to Africa! The Black Governor did not care that the blacks stayed in New Orleans, because they only stayed to Rob the White peoples business..FACT! What do you think South Carolina went through when "HUGO" HIT? Obama is a Black Muslim Joke, and you can blame that on the blacks, and so dumb whites! Now NY knows what we went through, but it was worse, Hugo was a 4, and NY was only a Strom 1, So, Tell the Lazy blacks to get out and work for a living. I worked 10-12 hours a date, sometimes 6 days a week. I have Heard "RACE" until I am sick of it, and we don't have their feet nailed down. I have worked since I was 12 years old helping my Mother sale Avon, then I went to school, and then worked at McDonald after school, until I had to retire from a bad back with 2 ruptured disc, and 1 buldged. I wrked 10-12 hours a day as a mail carrier, had back surgery hoping to be able to work again, but these black people are the Lazyest people that I have ever seen..FACT!
When I was in Junor High, I had a black girl that sit behind me, and my hair was down around my waist, and instead of her moving her desk, she took her hand, and throwed my hair srouach
