What OBAMA Thinks of Americans in Need

[bluegrass]

Here ya go Rufus...a story with a LINK to prove where it came from...brief synopsis though: The Obambi administration approved Federal funding for storm victims, but ONLY AS FAR AS THE GOVERNMENT LEVELS. They have REFUSED individual aid...what this means is that GOVERNMENT is to decide what PUBLIC money is allocated for...typical liberal tactic to make sure bureaucrats are in total control.

Obama Denies Individual Aid for Storm Relief

AFP/Getty Images President Barack Obama has denied aid to individuals affected by March’s massive storms and Gov. M. Jodi Rell said she plans to file a formal appeal.

The decision comes just days after Obama approved the state’s request for a “major disaster declaration,” which provides financial help to state and municipal governments in Fairfield, Middlesex and New London counties.

Storms plagues the state, especially these counties from March 12 to 14 and from March 29 to 31.

Rell was looking for help for homeowners, renters and employers.

“The storms that battered our state last month left a trail of astonishing devastation in their wake – crushed cars, homes struck by trees, week-long power outages and staggering flooding,” Rell said. “People and businesses all across Connecticut were left with millions of dollars in damage. They need help.

Rell called the decision “disappointing” and has started gathering information to file a formal appeal.

“I have directed our state emergency management officials to immediately gather whatever information may be needed to further support our application for assistance. I will also work with our Congressional delegation and with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to continue pursuing this matter until all avenues for aid are exhausted,” she said.

A survey was conducted that identified 1,315 homes in the five counties with damages totaling $5,262,100 in estimated housing assistance needs and “other needs assistance.” Rell's broader request also looked for help for Fairfield, Middlesex and New London counties, as well as New Haven and Windham counties.

The Small Business Administration determined that 116 businesses were affected and estimated the damages at $5,359,250.

Due to the slow response to the hurricane, New Orleans's top emergency management official called the effort a "national disgrace" and questioned when reinforcements would actually reach the increasingly desperate city.[8] New Orleans's emergency operations chief Terry Ebbert blamed the inadequate response on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). "This is not a FEMA operation. I haven't seen a single FEMA guy", he said. "FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control. We can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami victims, but we can't bail out the city of New Orleans."[8] At the time, the main staging area was only 6 miles away along the adjoining I-10 at the Causeway intersection, and FEMA had apparently been at the Superdome three days earlier.

In the early morning of September 2 mayor Ray Nagin expressed his frustration at what he claimed were insufficient reinforcements provided by the President and federal authorities.[9][10]

IF YOU TRY TO HOLD ONE TO A HIGHER STANDARD,SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE, OR ACTUALLY HATE HIM,AND YOUR HIPPOCRACY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT'S.YOU JUST TRY TO FIND ANY THING NEGATIVE TO POST,YOU WILL GET A COMPARISON, BECAUSE IF YOU SAY SOME ONE IS DOING SOMETHING WRONG, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A STANDARD TO COMPARE THEM WITH AND YOU DON'T ====

[Rabbithoundjb]

OH PMB I KNOW YOU DIDN'T REFER TO HOLDING STANDARDS, TALK ABOUT THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK. WHAT A JOKE COMING FROM YOU. KATRINA IS AN OLD STORY, MAYBE THE RESIDENTS OF NEW ORLEANS SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE WARNINGS THEY RECIEVED WAY IN ADVANCE OF THE STORM, YOU KNOW THAT OLD PESKY THING KNOWN AS SELF ACCOUNTABILITY BUT LIKE YOU IT IS ALWAYS SOMEBODY ELSES FAULT.

KATRINA WAS A TRAGEDY BUT IT WAS NOT BUSHES FAULT THAT PEOPLE DIDN'T HEED THE WARNING. IT WAS NOT THE FIRST NATURAL DISASTER THAT EFFECTED A LOT OF PEOPLE AND IT WON'T BE THE LAST.

Whose property taxes are going up as a result of Obama's Change. Everyone's including the poor and the retired elderly. Who is going to pay the VAT Tax. Everyone including the poor and elderly.

Guess who will not have the money to keep soup kitchens operable for the homeless. You got it. The conservatives who give more to Charity every year than you compassionate libertards. Ahhh, but you compassionate liberals will issue them a purple card.

Rufus you are about as honest as Obama and the rest of your mindless liberal think tank.

Conservatives give about 30% more charkty than liberals.

Maybe you should get your head out of the "NORTH END OF ASOUTH BOUND MULE" and see the light of day.

I know facts are foreign to Obama and his toadies.-
