What's the problem OP? Is this lady to supposed to repair her own electrical lines and turn on her electricity? Of course this is America and someone should be there to help her! NO ONE should go without power for this long! It's 2012 for Pete's sake! And I don't give a rat's about your experience on the gulf!

Where is the outcries against Obozo? He's your guy NY-NJ. Why aren't you dumping on him for this mess like you did Bush? If it wasn't for the storms which no one has control over, I'd say, " you people created this nightmare of a government. You get what you pay for just like the idiots in CA"

Send a note to Odumbo. You voted for him NY and NJ, see if he gives a s*!t. I'm betting not.

Whiney pukes.

Zippy had his photo opp and you are on your own now. if this had happened in a foreign country, he would be all over it with troops on the ground.

It's not just power, they have damaged homes and some no homes. Sewage and garbage will be a nightmare. They are afraid to leave because of looting.

No power? Incredible. Have you guys called Obama yet? You haven't? There's your problem right there. You get on your Obama Phone and call the white house. He'll fix your problem. He'll fix your wagon too!!

Where's Shepard Smith?

Obama hates white people, or whatever these people are.

Democrats are in charge, that's why. Why did you continue to vote for the traitors!? All they want is a sound bite...they fon't care about you. It would have been nice if you'd realized that BEFORE the election!!!!

#1, we all have done without power for far longer than 11 days. Yeah it rough but this is what you get for having unions. Our electric co-op sent crews to help. We had a devastating ice storm a few years back, our electric lines sustained a lot of damage. They got the power it took them weeks, but they are now, this year, putting in new poles and running new lines. We never heard a thing from Obama nor any federal agency. It was cold, the middle of winter, we as communities helped each other, oh it took a year and a half to pick up the debris from the downed trees, since the summer drought and the still damaged trees we are still having effects of that ice storm.

The truth is that thousands of transformers were destroyed, and there isn't the stock to replace them all. Government efficiency standards have driven many smaller manufacturers out of business, leading to a consolidation of manufacturers who, operating near capacity already, can't possibly absorb the additional demand. It's going to take weeks. Many weeks.

The answer is you don't count.

The answer is:

"I won." (TM)

Hey maroons! You voted for this!!

Now only the conscience of the utility workers rewards them for restoring power. The crews are getting unlimited overtime and their jobs are secure. Why kill the Golden Goose?

And for the utilities and suppliers, why restart or repair any marginal equipment? The money is coming in, replace anything and everything you can with brand new hardware.

The good job done by most is to their credit. But unlimited funding from Washington and Albany changes everything it touches.

I find it ironic that NJ and NY went overwhelmingly for Obama. God forgive me but this is what they get from trusting Obama or anything out of his mouth. Some people just don't get it the first, second or third time. Maybe they'll get it now. Too little too late for them. Reality bites.

Non-union Electricians came from all around the conservative states and attempted to help these leftist whiners, and their own electric and government unions called the other electricians Scabs, spit on them and drove them away. I know this first hand. This did happen. They are on their own now, because nobody with half a brain is going to spend their time, money or good will to go back up there.You get what you vote for.

I'm enjoying this. Does that make me a bad person?

Sounds like there was no gameplan for a wide-spread storm. Couldn't they call-in electrical repair people from all across the country? Probably no - due to union work rules - and the people suffer.

Sorry, you voted for your answer.

If you were in New Orleans they'd send trailers and the media would weep for you.

How's Obama's FEMA working for you?
Odd that the media isn't carrying stories of the suffering 24/7. s/
Shep Smith should be there crying.

#18, is that you Chris Matthews?

Since the media failed to report on the conditions, only the heroic response of Obama, oh well. I am praying for them, but there is blood on the media's hand. I heard Hannity talkign about it, but it came across as gotcha reporting, fair or not.

Obama's fabulous handling of the effects of Sandy was the most cited reason to re-elect him. Enjoy the bed you made, Fatboy Christie.

Obama for a second term? Let the pain begin!!

Man.. I think it's time to call the staff photographers, dust off that bomber jacket again, and muster up some tears and a few hugs. This is getting serious!!

...you're getting free condoms, no?

This is what government run electrical care looks like, just wait until health care is completely taken over. Trust me the Obama's won't be waiting in line for health care like you will.

You want answers in Obamaland? Screw you! You don't deserve them after voting en masse for Obama. Deal with it! The rest of us never get answers.

I feel horrible that you're in the storm mess. But I have no pity when you are so stupid as to support a lazy libtard like Obama.

I hope they get used to it. The next terror attack will make this look like a walk in the park

When, as a result the policies of the Obamination of Desolation a dirty bomb or some form of WMD goes off in NYC I am simply going to laugh.

I hope the terrorist kill millions in the big liberal cities.

I hope they do it soon

From: The White House
To: NY/NJ mopes

You voted, I won now die.

BHO.

Just leave your votes and get the hell out of my sight--and take your fat governor with you.

Liberal friends, you got what you wanted, but it is too late to change now. Put yourselves in these people's shoes and see how well they fit!

Forgeddaboutit NY and NJ. The embassy in Benghazi called for help from this administration and it got nothing but dead. Now they want to make a deal with the UN to limit the ability of Americans to defend ourselves. But Obamacare will take care of you when you get sick. This really is a baaad dream this government from Kenya.

Liberal press covering for the won, your liberal politicians, your lib voting/supporting unions, affirmative action public employees. Throw in a huge hurricane and you've got some major trouble. You have my sympathy because I was without electricity for an extended time and it was horrible. I hope you get power soon and I hope you remember how this all happened.
You were a photo op for the won and the election is over.

The country is 16 trillion in debt and I want answers. I could care less about these fools. They wanted big government and they got it. Just watch they will expect the rest of us to pay for it all as well. This election and four years of Obama has deadened something in me. I don't expect it to get any better.

New Jersey and New Yawk you guys voted frohimin 08 and now again in 2012 inspite of the fact that bhe dropped you like a bad habit after a quick photo op,
Dumb Asses!

Just think how much more it would have slowed down repairs if they had let those scab linemen in to help!
Look - Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive, what more could you want?

Call FEMA.

Can't Governor Christie spare some of his blubber for the people to burn for warmth?

Almost the entire Houston metroplex lost power after Ike, which was a far more devastating storm, and we had our back after 5 days. Everything is better in red states.

whew....power just returned after 11 days. The repair crew was from Nevada. I asked them how bad is this grid system? without hesitation they said 'oh my f'n god' - Might explain why it takes so long to restore - the system is antiquated to say the least

Hey NY and NJ: Where's your Uncle Obama and your Uncle Chris NOW??? P.S. Don't expect ME to donate one thin dime to any fundraisers on your behalf. You voted for him. You've got him. (Unfortunately, I've got him too. Thanks for nothing.)

Blue state = no pity!

I have to say... you got what you voted for. Now live with it.

Just glad that I live in rural America where I could put in a wood burning stove up,already have a propane gas fire place also, could go do the bear (bare) thing in MY woods if I had too LOL....simply amazing to know hurricane victims still voted for the UN-American fool.

I'll say this as nicely as I can. It's tough to feel sorry for people who (overwhelmingly!) voted the tyrant back in, without the slightest remorse for enslaving your children and childrens's children, in order to feed their oh so sophisticated liberal delusions. I'd be shocked to learn that more than 25% of NY and NJ are worth saving.

These two states overwhelmingly voted for O and numerous Dem politicians, thus ginormous and ineffective government.

Bet you all who voted this way will be giving a lot of thanks on Thanksgiving when you have no electricity, gasoline or heat.

When you vote for pols who believe in solar and wind blah, blah, and not coal and oil extraction and execution...well then you revert to cave man days.

Zero sympathy from a west coaster who lives among the loons of the likes of the north east (and are also ruining CA).

Wait til they start whining about Obamacare when they cannot get treatment during the cold season.

Why aren´t the OWS protestors marching on WADC asking for help? Oh, wait...they are living in the parent´s basement.

NY & NJ utility workers are all union. They need to slow roll the job so they can build up their future pension checks.
