FEMA Still Sucks
Thursday, February 5th, 2009Nearly 60 people have died in Kentucky due to the recent ice storm, and most of them slowly froze to death while trapped in their own homes. Hundreds more could be dead; the local governments simply don’t have the man power or the equipment to cover the widespread disaster area.
Despite Obama’s campaign promise, there has been a shocking lack of support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Kentucky’s Emergency Management Director Randell Smith said the 25 local National Guardsmen who have responded “have no chain saws to clear fallen trees.”
“Some areas we haven’t even visited yet,” Smith said. “We don’t even know that they’re alive.”
Where has Obama been during this emergency? Well, Monday he took off work to read to second graders. “We were just tired of being in the White House,” he explained. He hadn’t even been there for two weeks yet! And still nothing has been done about this emergency.
Of course the media won’t question him, but people are dying while Obama’s busy with publicity stunts. Without showing signs of remorse, he loosens his tie and cranks up the heat in the White House.
