| President Obama promised to help victims of Hurricane Sandy after the storm ravaged the East Coast. But after meeting with the president, one Staten Island family says he has broken that promise. Scott and Deidre McGrath joined Fox and Friends to tell their heartbreaking story. Scott spoke to the president after the storm, in what he described as a “staged” meeting. He said, “They put us into this tent and they wanted to make believe we were shopping for our products. Most of the residents that live in that area were never up there.” After waiting on line,

President George W. bush was demonized for Katrina, when in fact the post storm damage was inflicted by Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin. President Zero makes a quick trip to the area hit by Sandy, Governor Fat Bast*rd kisses Zero´s butt, Zero wins reelection because of really stupid voters like this whining couple, and Zero´s teflon coating keeps him immune from his own incompetence. I want the McGraths and those like them to shut up.

I think I may start an on-line business of the world´s tiniest violins. There will be a lot of liberals you can give one to in the next four years.
#5 - My anger with the media began to turn into something akin to hatred with the Katrina coverage. I am pretty sure the rescue effort was the largest, most successful rescue every conducted by anyone, anywhere - over 10,000 people by the National Guard and Coast Guard. They couldn´t report that because they had to destroy Bush and the Republicans.

It is still amazing how ignorant, blind, and gullible many Americans and those internationally.
BO has lied at the very least since he entered public office in IL. There is enough evidence to suggest he lied prior re: real estate deals, education, grades, financial aid and the source of tuition backing (but that is another issue).
Prior to 2008, through is first-term and now commencing his second term, there is not one "promise", statement or stance that he has not completely lied about. What is mind-blowing is often facts that reveal the lies are televised, recorded, and corroborated by others...yet very few people either notice or care.
Worse and even more shocking is that he harbors and parades blatant contempt for whites and jews, and yet they still vote for him in droves.
As his "Vote for Revenge Campaign" blanketed the nation for two years, this re-election provides him the hammer and sickle in which to exact his revenge upon the wealthy, the producers, the whites and the Israelis.
And what is equally as horrible is the Americans who detest this person, have no ability to exact their revenge upon him.

By the way BHO is looking for a way to beat the 22nd ammendment and go for a 3rd term.I´ll wager if that happens, your house will still not be taken care of to make it habitible after 4 years.

Since Sandy caused tens of billions of dollars worth of property damage throughout New York and New Jersey, it can´t be only Staten Islanders who are suffering.
However, it seems as if only Staten Islanders have enough courage to speak up about Obama´s empty promises.
It will take years to restore New York and New Jersey to pre-Sandy conditions, during which property values will decline and taxpayers will leave for other states unless FEMA, under the so-far malfeasant direction of Obama changes its ways.
But who will put pressure on Obama to do so? The governors of New York and New Jersey have been Obama´s biggest fans as they watch their citizens being abandoned to their misery.
Let´s hope the citizens of Staten Island will continue to hold angry townhalls and Fox News will continue to cover them so the world will know that New York and New Jersey still have pulses.

I feel so bad for all those suffering because of Sandy. Their lives have been absolutely devastated and any politician going there for a photo op is lower than pond scum. These people are desperate and believed the most senior person in the U.S. government when he told them to their faces that he would take care of everything. Unfortunately it has taken this storm to open their eyes to what we have known for the last four years. Obama is incompetent and he is a liar.

Hours after the Lockerbie atrocity, Mrs Thatcher was wading through the carnage wrought by terrorists over a small Scottish town, paying her condolences to the bereaved. It had been a long and harrowing day, but when she arrived back in London late that night she still found time to phone me at home. Her voice was anxious, kind. She asked: ‘How is Ray, dear?’ The day before, my husband had suffered a serious accident and Mrs Thatcher had been characteristically solicitous, offering her car to run me home.

Arizona Gov. Janice Brewer has signed a law providing strong new restrictions on the use of so-called "seclusion rooms" in schools – closet-sized rooms where children with behavioral disabilities such as autism were being locked up as punishment. "It is chilling to imagine an Arizona school child being shut away in a padded room, no larger than a closet, for hours on end," Brewer said after signing the law Friday. "There has to be a better way." With the new law, Arizona will join more than 30 other states that impose rules on the restraint of students in public schools.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

What Freire found was an evident sense of admiration for Chavez’s accomplishments as the Latin American state’s autocratic leader, but a distinct lack of respect for Thatcher’s achievements in office. “Love her or loathe her, one thing’s beyond dispute: Margaret Thatcher transformed Britain,” AP opened the former U.K. prime minister’s obituary on Monday.

Is ObamaCare the reform to end all other reforms? The massive health care law´s problems are well known. Major tax hikes and Medicare cuts will fund a massive new government program, rather than shore up the nation´s finances. ObamaCare already is encouraging companies to cut jobs and work hours. With the administration delaying the insurance exchanges that might help small businesses until 2015, even ObamaCare cheerleaders are growing worried. And the law will leave tens of millions of Americans without health coverage. That´s the best-case scenario,

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
