| Six weeks after Sandy hit the New Jersey and New York coast, residents are still struggling and in desperate need of shelter. Many hard-hit victims are not getting help despite President Barack Obama’s pledge of the full support of the federal government, and they are dealing with red tape the president said would not be tolerated. In the Red Hook community of Brooklyn, N.Y., many residents are still living in their unheated, powerless homes in freezing temperatures. Help from the government for residents has not come.

What did they expect? He said if he hadn´t fixed the economy in 3 years, "this will be a one-term proposition." That´s the most egregious broken promise of all.

Sandy was a crisis that Obama was not going to waste. The photo ops with Krispy Cristie and the phony pledges served the purpose. The election was around the corner and Obama was hustling for votes. Job well done.

He promised all Americans a big vacationland. He knows that you are to broke and to overtaxed to take them so he and Moocher are going to take them for themselves.
Isn´t that sweet of him and Moocher???

And yet.....43% of voters said that Hurricane Sandy was their number 1 issue when they voted. Of that group, 78% voted for Obama.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Ya´ll sold out the country for empty promises. And I´ll just bet these people still blame Bush for Katrina.

The Bible says God is sovereign over every event, every detail. Nothing happens that He does not cause or allow. So you have to think, if that is true, that God allowed Sandy to prevent Romney from getting elected.
That and ORCA - the dismantling of the GOP communication network on election day.
Maybe God, in His divine wisdom did NOT want to give the Mormons an international platform to spew their form lies and deceitfulness to unsuspecting souls. Just maybe the eternal consequences are more important than the momentary inconveniences.
Just a thought

This administration is incompetence on steroids. Have they done anything for the good of this country? Everything they have done has been a disaster from day one. They do, however, excel at throwing million dollar state dinners, planning exotic vacations and blowing through the taxpayers´ money.

If all this devastation was in the inner city, FEMA would be right on top of it handing out cash.
The main difference between Sandy and Katrina is the color of the victims. One of the big reasons why the MSM could care less with Sandy.

Oh they voted alright. All of them. Every New England state went for Obama. And we knew this by 8 pm New England time. Obama, Mooch and the kiddies walked out on stage to maniacally screaming crowds, declared themselves winner then everyone went home. Election over before a third of us had finished voting and several states not even counted. What a set up.

Hey ... anyone who expected more was dreaming. Obama´s character was revealed long before Sandy, and keeping promises is not on the list. ..... Besides, Obama got what he wanted out of the hurricane tragedy. Rahm must have been pleased that the president took his advise and didn´t ´waste the crisis.´ The world watched Chris Christie bend over and kiss the president´s butt, again and again and again.

The most pitiful thing is that these people (victims, or whatever) believed Obama and voted for him.
The second most pitiful thing is to watch these people still standing around helpless, with unhappy expressions on their faces, waiting for Momma Government and Papa Obama to take care of them. They have no idea of how to take care of themselves; but then, if they tried, the officious socialist bureaucrats they voted into office would stop them in their tracks.
Even so, few of them will learn from this that the cradle-to-grave promises of Big Government are made to be broken.

Clearly, G W Bush has spent some of his ill-gotten family (dirty) oil money to pay off FEMA people to be ´no-shows´ in order to make Obama look bad. Seriously, on Nov.29. I spent 5 hours at Breezy Point and saw NOT A SINGLE FEMA rep anywhere. There were few Red Cross folks, some NYPD/FD but NOT ONE person from FEMA was anywhere to be seen.

Too when some help from out of state showed up to help, the NJ Unions kicked them out because the aides were non-union. Too where was Obama hugger Christi on that one?

Ditto to #17 -- if the victims of Sandy were "minorities", the media would be all over this story and the victims would be receiving all sorts of government assistance.
Imagine how different the response to Sandy would be if Romney was president -- Romney is an experienced businessman of high moral character who has demonstrated his caring for others through charity over the years and who has the experience to govern our great nation. Obama did the same thing to Nashville, Tennessee flood victims.

You know it´s hard, as a Katrina survivor, to get too excited about people who took time out of their clean-up to go to a makeshift polling place to vote for the person who is leading them down the rosy path to destruction. The next few years will be a living hell. Good luck. Elections do have consequences.

Why don´t these seemingly helpless people pull an OWS and go and go storm mayors´, governors´, State and Fed offices. Sit on their front lawns with cameras, etc.
Remember when OWS were in LA and SF...they were getting free gourmet food daily, free lattes, warm blankets, music, money, free med care and other amenities from guess who? The PRIVATE sector. Doctors, attorneys, nurses, chefs, masseuses, and many other donated time, money and property to these vagabonds who created their own peril.
The victims of Sandy are probably being ignored because they are largely white (payback time by BO), largely perceived as elitist Northeasterners who stupidly voted for BO, portrayed in film, TV and other media as rude, loud, greedy, dimwit drunken slobs and bimbos (just think of what "Jersey Shore" did to the reputation of New Jersey, not just in the US, but also a large part of Europe.) And there is no "boogey man" to blame as there was with GW for Katrina.
So, Sandy victims, hope Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Eric Clapton and the rest of the limosouine liberals can get you some free stuff.
Although, I would not be holding my breath. Way more than half of these "fund raisers" for victim relief, rarely get actual financial assistance to the actual victims.

There’s a huge red flag in the Benghazi mess, but conservatives are letting the media get away with using a red herring to avoid it. Give the establishment media credit for obstinacy: Once it settles on a standard narrative or explanation for a particular subject, it shows remarkable discipline in explaining away any evidence that contradicts its own approved spin. So it has been with the media’s 250-day old determination to downplay the scandalous nature of the Obama administration’s treatment of its outpost in Benghazi before, during, and after the terrorist attack there that took four American lives.

Lawmakers across the country are tussling over the Obama administration´s plans to create a small army of assistants to guide millions of Americans as they sign up for new health-insurance options available this fall. Backers of the health-care overhaul face an uphill battle to spread the word about the law, in the face of consumer research that suggests most uninsured people know little about it and are skeptical about the value of health insurance generally. Some Democrats have openly worried that the administration is doing too little to make sure the enrollment process goes smoothly. That is where the "patient navigators"

Labor unions are breaking with President Obama on ObamaCare. Months after the president’s reelection, a variety of unions are publicly balking at how the administration plans to implement the landmark law. They warn that unless there are changes, the results could be catastrophic. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) — a 1.3 million-member labor group that twice endorsed Obama for president — is very worried about how the reform law will affect its members’ healthcare plans. Last month, the president of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers released a statement calling “for repeal

Since Hillary Clinton last came up to Capitol Hill, we’ve learned senior State Department officials sought to scrub references to terrorism from the infamous Benghazi talking points to insulate Foggy Bottom from political criticism — citing concerns of their “building’s leadership” to justify the demands. The rising temperature of the scandal means it’s possible that Hillary could be asked to return and testify again. If she comes back, she had better be prepared, says House Oversight and Government Reform chairman Darrell Issa. “We are interviewing lots of people, most of them under oath,” Issa says, describing the “methodical” approach his committee

We hear a lot, these days, about how President Obama is not like Lyndon Johnson and thanks be to heaven for that small mercy. The point seems to be that the president doesn´t know how to arm twist, sweet talk, bribe, and emasculate both friend and enemy (of which he truly had neither) in order to further his agenda. Since many among the chattering class believe, still, in that agenda, his is generally regarded as an excellent presidency. Never mind that more than half a century after Johnson declared war on poverty ...

More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon. These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law. According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
