With nearly 1.5 million people in the mid-west without power during a cold snap, what other possible reason is there that this new "competent" administration and FEMA would be failing so spectacularly in helping in this natural disaster?

It's got to be that Obama hates white people and wants them to die!

Of course, I am just aping what lefty blogs were saying about Bush less than 24 hours after Katrina's hurricane winds stopped blowing. But AP is reporting that Midwest disaster relief people are none too pleased with our new president's FEMA.

In Kentucky's Grayson County, there are 25 National Guardsmen there to help - but no chain saws to cut away fallen limbs and trees. EM Director Randell Smith is quoted as saying, "We've got people out in some areas we haven't even visited yet," Smith said. "We don't even know that they're alive."

Smith is also quoted as saying that FEMA is a "no show."

What's that? Here we are 5 days after the storm ended and still no FEMA? I demand a Congressional investigation. And let's get all the anchors and media people down here pronto. People's lives are at stake. For all we know, there are babies being eaten and people jumping off their roofs committing suicide because FEMA is nowhere to be found.

And where is our president? Shouldn't he be visiting these ravaged areas? It must be that he HATES WHITE PEOPLE AND WANTS THEM TO DIE. That is the only possible explanation for this incredible failure of our national government to relieve the suffering of these people.

Isn't it interesting that now that we have a Democrat as president that all of a sudden, disaster relief is a state and local matter and the federal government should stand aside and allow them to do their jobs?

Just wondering...

could be worse, you could have australia's prime minister.
he hates the internet and wants it to die.

is that worse or better, hmm...
meh who cares, i knew there'd be trouble, there always is when there is a massive change like that, damn lost train of thought, blah

I've heard that he flew over those areas. Also, these conditions aren't NEARLY as bad as katrina. and don't forget, Obama is biracial, 50% black and 50% white

and geeogree, babies are always being eaten

yeah, but we're also talking about 3 times as many people. Possibly more since not everyone in New Orleans was actually affected. Plus you aren't going to freeze to death in New Orleans any time of the year. Sure you might run out of food or water but you aren't going to die because of lack of heat.

I dunno, it may not be "as bad" as Katrina, but it's still a big deal.

Geo's point is that we are hearing nothing of the sort and saying if this were still President Bush, we'd be hearing something along the lines of "Bush fails to help those in need."

well, everything hasn't quite been gotten together yet. I mean, the guy's been president for less than 2 weeks

Are you comparing a massive power outage to Hurricane Katrina?

I'm thinking those are/were two totally different scenarios. I'm not saying FEMA shouldn't take action when required, but there has to be a distinction between the two.

Is that what you are saying? If Bush was in office still, Bush wouldn't be getting the job done with FEMA and these outages versus Obama?

I think that's comparing apples and bilateral cuspids.

What?

Yes. Bush may not have been the greatest president. But at least give Obama a chance. You can never be too sure until it happens.

And since i haven't been hearing as much recently, i'd assume that the situation is starting to get better

FEMA is not who you think they are... research and you will see they are creating concentration camps all over America with barb wire and creamation facilities no joke. They also ordered 500,000 + plastic coffins view this link:

Bush hates white people more then Obama why else would he approve of NAFTA and the legalization of 30+ million illegals into the USA if he like white people?

really.... you seriously want me to believe anything Alex Jones says?

People can believe in anything they want... the fact is it is what it is and FEMA does indeed have what I mentioned above. Don't take Alex's word for it if you research you will find lots more.

I have already researched several of Alex Jones' opinions on recent world events and found the truth to be much simpler than the insane conspiracy he has imagined up in his mind.

I just can't believe any information coming from Alex Jones. No matter how "well researched" you may think it is I still think it is BS and not worth spending your time listening to.

Well, even if his opinion is untrustworthy, FEMA still is a pretty weak organization and has many problems

oh, I agree. FEMA is a joke. So are most things the government tries to do. Doesn't mean they are conspiring against Americans to put them into death camps or anything. That's just ridiculous.

you never know , but seriously, FEMA isn't organized enough to do much of anything. can you say EPIC FAIL?!

It isn't Obama's fault, and the issues with FEMA during Katrina weren't Bush's fault. We need to do away with FEMA and make a new organization that will work. Preferably one that's organized.

And I find it amusing people want to say Obama is somehow anti-white people or hates white people or want white people dead when he was raised by white people and is half white himself.

edit: Edited for typos.

As much as I dislike bush, you're right that katrina wasn't his fault. FEMA is just a crap organization.

and rocksome, geeogree was trying to make a point about media bias

yeah, I really don't think the sarcasm in my first post came across well enough. Maybe I should have added a /sarcasm at the end of my post or something....

Although I have to admit that I am seeing more and more media be critical of Obama since he took office. It's like okay, now Bush is out and you can't spend the entire time saying that you are going to pick policies that aren't tired old 8 years of the wrong direction. Now you actually have to stand on your own 2 feet and stand FOR something beyond hope and change.

Unfortunately hope and change don't mean crap and will result in huge "bailout" bills that spend more on democratic pet projects than actual bailing out....

I'm so glad Obamessiah has saved us all!

I got the point and the sarcasm I still just couldn't resist the urge to mention that, haha.

People who seriousy seem to think Obama is going to be some sort of saviour are severely delusional. He can't fix things as quickly as some people act like they think he will. Things have been going downhill since well before Bush was in office. Fixing it is going to take about as long or perhaps longer than it took to crumble.

I just wish everyone would stop being so divided on every little thing. It makes working together impossible which is kind of key to the way our government works. Well, if you want it to work right, at least.
