sorry, folks! You guys voted for liberals in EVERY level of government in the Northeast for many, many years. Seems to me you are getting exactly what you voted for. Good luck with all that! Sucks to be you. Your arrogance and liberal attitudes are doing you in.

4 dead Americans in Benghazi still unresolved. American people suffering in NY and NJ, a bureaucratic nightmare. The Obama Administration reeks of incompetence.

You know why things are still bad in Brooklyn and Staten Island, because Obama doesn't care about White People. Isn't that what they said about Bush after Katrina.

3 days after Katrina, Democrats, the media and celebrities declared President George Bush to be incompetent and hating black people.

Here, two weeks after Sandy, it's apparent that George Bush has learned nothing and that he hates white people too.

Our govt gave $130M to Syria today or recently. Islam gets money, Americans not so much.

All Obama voters need to get on their Obama phones and call Obama right now!

Bunch of crybabies. When Hurricane Ike hit the Houston area 4 years ago, we had thousands without power for over a month and longer. It did not make the national news, because no one cares about Texas at a national level. Luckily I did not have a flooded home like many in the coastal areas did, but we survive! We are Texan!

Two weeks is an average outage after a hurricane on the Gulf coast. Why would folks think things would go faster in New York?

but...but...but...didn't the exit polls tell us that obama's fantastic handling of the storm's devastation was the main reason they voted for him ?? do you mean to tell me that voter's don't know what they are talking about and only believe nonsense fed to them by an obama-loving media ?! say it isn't so !!

Obama Voters, you voted to have Big Government take care of you. Look at the GREAT job they're doing!

Forward! Off the Fiscal Cliff....

these are the same people who continually voted for the khazar Jew in city hall and whom is still screwing them and most likely their all Obama voters, I feel sorrow for the ones who cant stomach Obama and have nothing to do with him, but they are getting their just fruits.

the Government is screwing all you people because you are not BLACK or BROWN, do you get it yet. The Government is RACIST towards its own people.

And now the liberals are laughing at the suckers who voted for the messiah and the Khazar Jew in City hall.

Instapundit posts something from reader Jeff Levengood: “They told me if I voted for Mitt Romney I’d live in a country where people were left to fend for themselves, and they were right.”

I hate to laugh i grew up in gerritsen beach and it is a great community, they are not just sitting around waiting on the gov't , they have many community group and they are helping each other, they always have. Not all of them are liberal entitlement types, alot of union workers for the city live there though, there are many conservatives. They want the power on and they can't do that themselves.

Hi wolfie, I know, I'm late to the party. Tucked in there from Rich is a conservative message. FEMA is a jobs program, their debris field is huge. Where has FEMA ever delivered organization and a pictue of assistance. I'll answer, no where. They proliferate govt liavathan disfunction where ever they go. If you really need help, call Red Cross, private philanthropy. I don't need to remind you, he did win.

Hi poljunkie, yippee, which the democrats succeeded in hanging around GWBs neck. No indictment of boots on the ground in LA. One of the sorriest betrayals of reality I've ever witnessed from the MSM.

I reckon President Downgrade really doesn't want to know about these folks' problems: it might seriously affect his golf game.

Talkin' about obamacare. I have a friend in our payroll dept. who leaked, I mean told me that the company is changing insurance plans, and not for the better.

How do YOU spell obamacare?

Suzyqpie

Hi DebbieX, my premiums have not gone down by the $2500 Pres 0bama said that they would. I'm guessing the failure to see premium reductions are GWBs fault. GW retained a whole lot of power.

Hubby just got back last night from working relief efforts in NY for over a week. It's a mess and all of it can be blamed on bureaucracy created and voted for by liberals. Yeah New Yorkers...keep voting the same thing over and over again and expect any result that isn't disastrous.

Dear Barry, Mike and Chris. Only RESULTS matter. And people without shelter, without power, without hot food are not the RESULTS to be proud of.

Suzyqpie
Suzyqpie

Hi db, liberals don't have to deal with results, learn from experience, consider the evidence, apply logic, or worry about the consequences. It's a totally liberating experience. Give a speech, let me be clear, banalities, cliches, & platitudes are substitutes for performance. All day everyday. And your health insurance premiums will be reduced by $2500. And you didn't build that chump.

And Democrats were in power there, too.

What guarantees do you have that it won't be months here before somebody listens to Pete King and brings in the Military Engineers to do what LIPA clearly can't?

Hmmm, doesn't Spike Lee live in Brooklyn. Must be all those darn racists, like Bush, that want all these poor people to suffer. But, you say, Bush isn't president? Yes, that's right, we have a black president. So to use Spike Lee's logic, does that mean Obama hates the white people in Brooklyn? I'm surprised Spike isn't around to scream at our president for NOT coming to the rescue of these people. Hmmm, I wonder why that is?

Impossible. Obama visited the site and assured us the problem was being solved. Ipso-facto there can BE no problem!!! The ONE has pronounced it so. And all the polls told us what a wonderful job he did on the Sandy response. How could they be wrong? Answer: They aren't wrong of course. Clearly these people are all lying to hurt our Messiah's reputation!

All day every day 7/24/365 the power of the MSM. I just want to live long enough to see a republican drone fleet commander picking off targets from the kill list. Can you imagine the outrage it drone technology had been in the hands of GWB?

A little O/T but for those who loved Beau Davidson's Blessed YouTube video for the military I posted, here is his "The Prayer". I think we all need to listen to this one today. Please share with family and friends to support this great conservative artist!
