So, tell me again how well Obama and Bloomberg are handling #Sandy.

The list is appalling.

No wonder somebody made this video.

As the President says: “Don’t boo, vote. Voting is the best revenge.”

Moe Lane (crosspost)

[UPDATE] Rudy Giuliani minces no words.

“The president getting all this credit so early, maybe the first day or two he was paying attention, but the minute he got his credit, the minute he got his pat on his back, we had the same situation as we had in Benghazi,” Giuliani said. “He loses focus. He goes back to being campaigner-in-chief rather than commander-in-chief.”

    Moe, you missed a spot. I’m tired of doing thong stories.

    I found number 2 particularly interesting. It goes to a point I made elsewhere that “price gouging” and depending on private enterprise can actually be beneficial in times like this.

    I’m an NJ’er with friends and family in our storm ravaged state, Staten Island NY, and Long Island NY. After having visited local Republican headquarters in Jersey, talking in person to extended family members of those who have been cruelly affected, and on the phone for Mitt, I can tell y’all never in all my decades of conservative activism have I ever -EVER! – heard voters report as motivated to get to the polls as in 2012. People are saying they would swim through molten lead and then crawl over broken glass to pull the lever that might remove Obama from office.

    And as far as how folks in these parts are reacting to the photo-op of Dear Leader and the announcements of his DHS Janet Napolitano regarding prompt and comprehensive action: they are hating their hypocrisy. First silence and inertia, then, noting it was 48 hours till election day, the administration leaps into action – by positioning themselves in front of MSM cameras.

    I can assure you that the words chosen to express their feelings about Obamites are all very colorful. The comment of the last woman I spoke to as I was heading home for lunch was (in essence; editing for profanity) – ‘Using people in agony – for a ::bleep:: campaign stop!!! That son o bits, I’d like to wring his ::bleep:: scrawny neck’…. hmmm, maybe Operation Hurricane Optics is not going to be the vote-getter Axelrod would hope.

    Yeah, Moe, some of the statements in that first article boggle the mind. They had water, food and blankets in the tents for the runners, but they haven’t taken the trouble to distribute them to the victims of Sandy?

    Or how about Bloomberg lecturing reporters who asked about generators, telling them that the fate of the generators “was not a story”?

    Or how about that spiel from the Bloomberg aide who said the generators they had couldn’t be used because they are not the type of generators needed???

    The planning aspect of this entire situation has been pitiful from beginning to end. But I think what boggles my mind the most is FEMA’s rigid insistence on adhering to SOP in face of this type of situation. They could have deviated away from SOP and found other solutions, but they didn’t.

    I haven’t tried to contact anyone I know in the NY area because I figure they either have their hands full or are inaccessible, but I have to concur with your assessment about the rage. The moment I’m thinking about was Democrat pollster Pat Caldwell on one of Neil Cavuto’s news spots. You would have thought he was talking about a Republican the way he was ripping on The Big 0 AND Bloomberg.

  • The_Gadfly

    Saw that on Drudge and thought, hmmm… more generators that could be being used elsewhere.

  • The_Gadfly

    It’s not so much the adherence to SOP that I have an issue with. SOPs are, at least in private business, usually SOPs for a good reason. It’s that these are the same SOPs that we know failed during Katrina, except maybe exacerbated because they’re also protecting their union allies. I saw a post elsewhere today to the effect that all FEMA does is provide money, and the States and localities are supposed to provide the workers and supplies. While that is true, it misses the point: this excuse wasn’t deemed valid for W during Katrina so it shouldn’t be deemed valid now.
