And how calloused and disconnected could you be? You act as the victims of the storm are asking for a hand-out or government assistance. I'm sure they'd much rather have their lives in tact the way it was prior to Sandy. But you can't see that because....well, I actually have no idea.

You keep saying what has Obama done? Geez dude, we were only losing 750K-800K jobs per month before he took office. I know it pains you and Sammy to admit this, but the economy is actually recovering.

FEMA is just as bad if not worse under Obama. I have a customer due to pryor losses has to buy flood insurance directly through FEMA. His house next door has the flood ins policy through our company which administers the policy for FEMA. Last year both house flooded and the flood plolicy handled through my company was paid in 4 weeks (delayed two of those weeks by FEMA) and the other home insured directly through FEMA/National Flood Program took 6 months to get his first check and then an additional moth to get the remaining balance. When other areas in our area have flooded people have waited month after month to get any response from FEMA but thats long after the news crews have gone home and moved on.

As for the bolded section. I know first hand about what people go through in a loss because I deal with it everyday. I'm actually in the business. My point was all Obama has done is signed off on spending money something he is good at doing (see the 5 trillion he has spent). I never said it was wrong.
