Chris Christie: Obama ‘outstanding’ in response to Hurricane Sandy

I bet this hurt his ego having to praise Obama.

[NC_Skins]

Back on the Mitt frontier....it looks like Sandy isn't a Mitt Romney supporter. Probably about the worst thing that could happen to Mittens at this time. All with his and Ryan's plan to gut FEMA or get rid of it entirely.

Daily Kos: Romney lines everybody up to give him stuff the Red Cross says it doesn'tÂ*want

Really Mitt? Really efficient collecting food and goods when you know the Red Cross doesn't want that shit. Also, making people wait till you arrive so you can get a photo op? He'll make a great president. /sarcasm


Mitt Romney Refuses To Talk About FEMA After Hurricane Sandy Event


I bet you didn't answer you dipshit. Does this guy have a solid position on anything? Flip/Flop/Flip/Flop

Obama is doing what he knows how to do best. Hand out money. Other then that what has he done? What we will not see is the people waiting for their checks from FEMA 4 to 6 MONTHS from now if they are luck to get them then. FEMA is a nightmare.

How do you know? You don't even know what your candidate stands for. Hell Sammy, HE doesn't even know.


Flip/Flop/Flip/Flop/Flip/Flop


Mitt stands for nothing. He just wants the title of being President.

A bonus treat for you.

First, FEMA has actually improved quite a bit under this Administration. Of course, don't take my word for it, I'm a Kool Aid Drinker.

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.

Mitt Romney, the hollow man - Salon.com



Mitt comparing to a disaster recovery to this one day he and some buddies picked up "rubbish" on a football field.

Romney’s “relief” event outside of Dayton, Ohio, was surreal enough to be a campaign parody, with the candidate comparing the federal government’s hurricane relief efforts to the time he and some friends had to clean up a football field strewn with “rubbish and paper products.” It was supposed to be a parable of how Republicans handle disaster – with private charity, not government intervention – as Romney told his audience,

I'm going to say it, if you vote for this guy, it's NOT because you think he's a superior candidate.

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.

Firstdown's idea of small gov't would leave our country resembling Somalia.

Hey now...Somalia finally has a functioning government and I don't believe they have the concept of a filibuster in their parliamentary rules.

As for firstdown, he is a simple man who enjoys the simple things in life so he can hardly be expect to appreciate the complexity of having a federal government. I envy him.

Your right I don't under stand why people have to make simple stuff so complexed and poorly functioning.

Right now I predict that this election will either be a close win for Obama or a landslide for Romney. Either way it'll be interesting to see if poll skewing theories are viable.

On a side note:
Economists: Romney's 12 Million Jobs Target Realistic, Even If He Loses : It's All Politics : NPR

"Cold hard facts. Politics completely aside. I'm just doing the numbers," says Zandi. "I feel confident that we're going to create 12 million jobs over the next four years and we're going to feel a lot better about this economy, regardless of who is president."

Kind of funny that whoever wins this might have a chance of claiming responsibility for a full recovery regardless of what they do.

I thought this was pretty neat and worth sharing. No, not Glenn Beck's almighty take on the election, but rather the chalkboard he has resurrected in typical Glenn Beck fashion. A little piece of nostalgia from those who were around to watch the Kennedy Nixon election.

Huffington Post? Thats practically a liberal version of Fox News. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the site but it's hardly impartial.


RCP currently has it at 201 to 191 Obama. And right now Romney is more likely to win Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, and Colorado which are currently in the toss up cateogory.

Romney's not winning VA, tell you that right now. He'll squeak NC maybe. And Florida is razor close.

Obama's baseline EV is more in the 240 range.
