Well at least he cares, and that´s what counts.

Do tell, Obama voters mad at Obama....

There will ultimately be sixty-two million six hundred and some thousand little petards foist upon?

I love it!

What??? Obama lied to you all??

Why can´t you just make do on his words? THAT"S HOW YOU VOTED!!!

Just about finished with David McCullough´s book on the Johnstown flood. Feel like it was written about Katrina, Sandy, and any other present disaster, in that the media did the same things back then. But the relief effort was starkly different. No FEMA or bureaucracy to gum up the works. I highly recommend the book.

Obama HAS NO CHARACTER and that flaw shows up in everything he does.
He serves his corporate masters, his Marxist ideology and his self interests and the rest can go to... you know where.

Pledges are worthless unless there is follow-through. Too bad so many people are so stupid as to believe anything the charleton says.

Even stupid people don´t deserve this. Will another 4 years of excrement sandwiches change their minds about OblameMO? Not if the libtard media keep up their Soviet style brainwashing.

0bama AKA Lord and Savior FEELS for you. Isn´t that enough suckers?

Everyone knows it was just election rhetoric.

No big deal at all.

/s

Obama lied, again.
Obama made false promises, again.
Obama said he really cared, again.
Obama needed your vote, and you gave it to him, again.

Complaints are unattractive from persons who willingly and happily jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

And the Zero spin machine is brainstorming ways to blame this on Bush or the Republicans.
He´s all yours, folks. You voted for him. Some pretty ugly chickens coming home to roost, huh.
O and by the way, thanks for inflicting him and the rest of his sorry posse on the rest of us.
"When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?"

Of course FEMA ignored him. He speaks loudly and carries a toothpick.

Oh President Bush was "responsible" for all the problems with Katrina -- BUT -- God forbide the messiah gets blamed for his handling of Sandy.....

Is he the boss of FEMA? Well then????

LZK

You posters are missing the point of the headline. The dear leader did the right thing, unlike his predecessor in the NOLA disaster. It´s the fault of FEMA who is dragging its feet on carrying out the dear leader´s compassionate directives. See how this works?

If you fill out the 28 page RT 100 the committee will consider the request to cut red tape at their quarterly meeting that is currently unscheduled due to bad weather and vacation conflicts.

Meanwhile the Gov. of NY goes the Obama route asking for $43 Billion under the "trust me" mode. Most of these people are screwed because it was the surge and thus a flood. If you did not have flood insurance a loan from the govt. is not going to do it.

“FEMA ain’t doing nothing,” McGrath added. “They keep going around in circles.” - Article

Hey, just wait until 0bamacare kicks in. You´ll love that, too!

How many of these folks voted for 0bama?

This guy has been on the national stage for 4 years and exposed as an uncaring, arrogant, incompetent nitwit. And NY is JUST finding this out?

No, dears. That was empty talk. His "pledge" went nowhere. Unless FEMA happened to be watching his Staten Island photo op.

Obama got what he wanted... a photo op showing he ´cared´ and great press about promising quick response. No need to follow through; the election is over and the press will never hold him accountable to deliver on his promise.

Well said #11. If he really cared, someone would have been there seeing that what he promised was followed. HE DOESN´T CARE!!!!!

My husband and I ALWAYS support the poor people when something tragic occurs. You just can´t feel sorry for this group of people. They keep voting the same morons in office....like Bloomberg, Cuomo and Obama. Then they get angry when they don´t see results.

So happy to come to Lucianne and read others feel the same as I do. I did send money to the churches (via Glenn Beck) but have absolutely no further compassion for these blue-staters. You voted for the Pinhead-In-Chief, get your help from him.

FEMA needs to go. Get a few retired military guys who specialized in logistics and let them lead disaster relief. Bureaucrats do what they do best, waste time pushing paperwork. They are not leaders.

You really believed Obama about FEMA? His whole story, beginning to end, is lies. Yet he was voted back into the White House. Sorta makes those who voted that way feel like suckers? He Won, that was his most pressing issue, He Won. Not FEMA red tape, nor anything else, he was all about winning. He did!

FEMA either didn´t get the hint when Lord Obama spaketh, or they took it too literally figuring Natchuh quaketh and wouldn´t dare allow cold temps and snow to follow a hurricane.

Bow-Boy´s socialism ain´t working out for ya?

Surprise, surprise!

Like the state of the economy you just have to keep telling yourselves it´s Bush´s fault and you should feel much better about your situation. Merry Christmas.

Do we all miss the point? Socialism is Bureaucracy is Government CONTRROL, is a bunch, a whole bunch, of laws and regulations and IS RED TAPE, case closed.

FEMA does exactly what obama tells them to do. obama told them one thing to get their vote, then told his FEMA to do another. if they want to blame someone they should blame their own stupidity for electing him.

They believed him, just as they believed the rest of the jive b.s. he´s been shoveling out the past five years -- and they voted for him in overwhelming numbers. Enjoy!

If the election were held today these idiots would still vote for little barry. These are the same people that crucified Bush for Katrina. Look he went there and had his picture taken with them what else do they want? Big government can´t do any thing efficiently!!! But I guess they are too stupid to figure that out. I know that sounds a bit harsh but they got what they wanted.

Katrina 2, with no MSM coverage because a Democrat is President.

All you angry New Yorkers wonder where the help is? Really??
Well you voted the Obamboozler back into office.
You got trouble? Well you own it baaaay-bee!
When the next terrorist attack happens, guess what? Yer gonna own that too as well as a lot of other “stuff”
When America goes off that Fiscal Cliff on January 1, You own it!
Can’t get a job after graduation?
Sky rocketing energy prices due to Obama’s EPA shutting down the energy producing states?
Bowing to the Soviet Union, China and the Arab states?
Another severe recession?
Higher heath insurance costs and health care costs.
Trouble getting good health care?
More dependency on food stamps?
Several part time jobs instead of one good job.
Another trillion of debt right around the corner.
China controlling our world trade while trampling all over us.
Big government corruption and lies.
Terrorist attacks that get called “work place violence”.
Loss of our freedoms as we have known them in the past?
Yup. YOU voted for it. You own it lock, stock and barrel. Now sit in it and enjoy the aroma while the Obamboozler flies off to enjoy Hawaii.

If you like FEMA, you´ll Obama(don´t)care.

Every time I start to feel a tinge of sympathy for these people, I bring up the 2012 presidential election map. The entire area hit by Sandy is solid blue - and will probably stay that way when they vote for obama for a third term.

The aftermath and failed recovery efforts in NY and NJ make Katrina look like a gentle spring rain. I hope George W. Bush is smiling today, even though he has too much class to say anything.

Mele Kalikimaka...... suckers!!

It amazes me how perfectly timed this storm was for Obama. First the storm, then the photo-ops and promises, then the election and finally reality.

Reminds me of Curly Bill with his feet up on a hitching post as he speaks to Wyatt Earp leaving town ...

"Well ... bye."

Isn´t it amazing how angry that those who think and expect government handouts get when those handouts don´t come immediately or are not as much as they wanted (not what they need)? I survived going thru Katrina here in Biloxi (which was the hardest hit area) without a lot of screaming and yelling about "Where is FEMA". Even tho Mississippi is considered a backward state, it did have a plan for just such disaster and administered it very effectively.

I feel sorry for those affected, but as previously posted, they should have been prepared for this and have had flood insurance.

Obama vacations in Hawaii, while Sandy victims still are hurting. Imagine what the MSM would say if Bush or Romney was President.

If Mitt Romney had won the presidency on November 6th, the liberal media would already be attacking him for not giving enough attention to the post-Sandy problems in New York and New Jersey.

President-Elect Mitt would be receiving daily criticism for not holding enough meetings with homeless victims, drawing up recovery plans, etc.

And the anti-Romney attacks would continue until the problems were solved, which they would be.

But under Obama, there will be no criticism, and nothing will be done -- not until a Republican wins the White House again.

Silly little twits. It´s amazing how all of those low information voters thought they were voting themselves some help. Big Government means Red Tape and even the ones that supposedly have the power to do so, just can´t seem to get it done. Poor Chris Christy who did all the ´right´ things to help make it happen for his constituents was probably frustrated.

FEMA´s focus isn´t helping people anymore. For what it´s worth they have been busy with quasi secret military installations training their people with semi-automatic weapons(you hear me, Bloomburg) dressed in black uniforms with no insignia and black SUV´s. There are at least 4 of them within a 60 mile radius of my house. No one seems to understand what their purpose is. The look of it isn´t comforting one bit.

For what it is worth FEMA is not a first responder. They are supposed to fill out forms and get you help after the damage is done. If they weren´t so busy with target practice and the like, they should be doing better than what these NYers are saying. Just a heads up. Protect yourself and take that responsibility. People in the South have done that for the most part except for the Santa Claus victims. They seem incapable of responsibility.

Obama is not guilty of not following through. He is guilty of making a promise that he knew would not be fulfilled.

You cannot simply set up booths in the area to give away money and stuff upon request. People would come from everywhere to get stuff. It would be hugely irresponsible to do so. That is why churches, and perhaps a few secular relief organizations are the only effective responders they know the community and the heart, and can discriminate against the leeches.

The bottom line is simple...

Any government that is big enough to give you anything you want is big enough to take everything you have...and I might add, is big enough to give you the shaft anytime they want to! Welcome to reality NY!

Boo hoo. Does anyone care that these morons are mad at Obama? I don´t.

When asked if any of them regretted voting for Obama, they replied in unison "Certainly not! Our lord and savior Obama is doing a wonderful job!"

Those people are not mad at Obama, they are mad at FEMA. In their minds, Obama is "just doing the best that he can" as that is the new normal standard of excellence and what they expect from any liberal Democrat President.

It´s always easier for morons to be mad at the law, "red tape" and a faceless bureaucracy then their liberal Democrat President who is getting ready to bask in the sun on a beach in Hawaii at taxpayer´s expense for three weeks, as those angry New Yorkers continue to freeze their butts off in their storm damaged residences in January.

You actually believed him? Bwa ha ha ha ha! Haven´t you learned anything in the last four years?

My give a darn meter was permanently broken for anyone in a blue state in November.

Go cry to Uncle Obama...oh...wait...you did that....Nevermind...

Please note: these people still blame FEMA, not the president. Read the headline, from Fox News, no less. Lost house Katrina (in Mississippi), doing fine, thanks.

Well you could hope a small contained powerful hurricane hits the Obama sealed off preserve during his holiday.
Gee the real residents wouldn´t even be affected because they will in lock down.
Is the Lord Obe afraid of those citizens?

Don´t bother Obama. He´s planning his multi-week vacation in Hawaii. Besides, you voted fror him. Merry Christmas, all you Sandi affected bluestaters!

So sorry. You dopes voted for him and my give-a-s--t meter is busted.

Own it !

yes, "these folks can take comfort in knowing their president will have heat for Christmas...on a secluded Hawaiian beach" surrounded by friends & family, and bought for with taxpayer money to the tune of millions. Let the storm victims eat Salvation Army food and sleep in a cold gym if they are lucky!

Something is wrong, really wrong with this! What the heck are we becoming as a society that we sit here and allow ourselves to accept this behavior? Where are the pitchforks, torches and righteous indignation?

Well stated #24. Remember who relieved FEMA´s"you´re doing a hell of a job" Brownie in the midst of Katrina? A USCG 3-star admiral, and things turned around overnight. Will we never learn?

All the posters who have no sympathy for the folks in Staten Island and Breezy Point who lost everything, should know that Staten Island is a reliably Republican-voting area of New York City. Breezy Point is the home of many firefighters, cops and Republican Congressman Bob Turner, who won Anthony Weiner´s seat after he resigned in disgrace.

A little less schadenfreude is in order here.

While these sections of Staten Island and Breezy Point Queens, generally vote Republican, their choices are often limited on the Congressional and local level. The NYS Republican Party and the local NYC Republican party often don´t even field candidates and this is where the nitty gritty work during disasters gets done. So, blaming the voters is not always fair. Moreover, city life does not always lend itself to independence and being able to store food and supplies in limited space is difficult. NYS laws that prevent owning a fire arm to protect your family and property inhibits independent protection that so many of these homeowners need. It is a total different way of life, physically and mentally, living in and around NYC from our country counterparts. That said, I hope Sandy will be a wake up call to many NY residents as 9/11 should have been. The answer is not and never has been government. The answer is individual initiative. It ain´t FEMA and it certainly is not a self-absorbed, incompetent idiot that is Obama that will come to your aid in a crisis.
