| Six weeks after Sandy hit the New Jersey and New York coast, residents are still struggling and in desperate need of shelter. Many hard-hit victims are not getting help despite President Barack Obama’s pledge of the full support of the federal government, and they are dealing with red tape the president said would not be tolerated. In the Red Hook community of Brooklyn, N.Y., many residents are still living in their unheated, powerless homes in freezing temperatures. Help from the government for residents has not come.

What did they expect? He said if he hadn´t fixed the economy in 3 years, "this will be a one-term proposition." That´s the most egregious broken promise of all.

Sandy was a crisis that Obama was not going to waste. The photo ops with Krispy Cristie and the phony pledges served the purpose. The election was around the corner and Obama was hustling for votes. Job well done.

And yet.....43% of voters said that Hurricane Sandy was their number 1 issue when they voted. Of that group, 78% voted for Obama.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Ya´ll sold out the country for empty promises. And I´ll just bet these people still blame Bush for Katrina.

The Bible says God is sovereign over every event, every detail. Nothing happens that He does not cause or allow. So you have to think, if that is true, that God allowed Sandy to prevent Romney from getting elected.
That and ORCA - the dismantling of the GOP communication network on election day.
Maybe God, in His divine wisdom did NOT want to give the Mormons an international platform to spew their form lies and deceitfulness to unsuspecting souls. Just maybe the eternal consequences are more important than the momentary inconveniences.
Just a thought

If all this devastation was in the inner city, FEMA would be right on top of it handing out cash.
The main difference between Sandy and Katrina is the color of the victims. One of the big reasons why the MSM could care less with Sandy.

Oh they voted alright. All of them. Every New England state went for Obama. And we knew this by 8 pm New England time. Obama, Mooch and the kiddies walked out on stage to maniacally screaming crowds, declared themselves winner then everyone went home. Election over before a third of us had finished voting and several states not even counted. What a set up.

Hey ... anyone who expected more was dreaming. Obama´s character was revealed long before Sandy, and keeping promises is not on the list. ..... Besides, Obama got what he wanted out of the hurricane tragedy. Rahm must have been pleased that the president took his advise and didn´t ´waste the crisis.´ The world watched Chris Christie bend over and kiss the president´s butt, again and again and again.

The most pitiful thing is that these people (victims, or whatever) believed Obama and voted for him.
The second most pitiful thing is to watch these people still standing around helpless, with unhappy expressions on their faces, waiting for Momma Government and Papa Obama to take care of them. They have no idea of how to take care of themselves; but then, if they tried, the officious socialist bureaucrats they voted into office would stop them in their tracks.
Even so, few of them will learn from this that the cradle-to-grave promises of Big Government are made to be broken.

Clearly, G W Bush has spent some of his ill-gotten family (dirty) oil money to pay off FEMA people to be ´no-shows´ in order to make Obama look bad. Seriously, on Nov.29. I spent 5 hours at Breezy Point and saw NOT A SINGLE FEMA rep anywhere. There were few Red Cross folks, some NYPD/FD but NOT ONE person from FEMA was anywhere to be seen.

Ditto to #17 -- if the victims of Sandy were "minorities", the media would be all over this story and the victims would be receiving all sorts of government assistance.
Imagine how different the response to Sandy would be if Romney was president -- Romney is an experienced businessman of high moral character who has demonstrated his caring for others through charity over the years and who has the experience to govern our great nation. Obama did the same thing to Nashville, Tennessee flood victims.

You know it´s hard, as a Katrina survivor, to get too excited about people who took time out of their clean-up to go to a makeshift polling place to vote for the person who is leading them down the rosy path to destruction. The next few years will be a living hell. Good luck. Elections do have consequences.

Why don´t these seemingly helpless people pull an OWS and go and go storm mayors´, governors´, State and Fed offices. Sit on their front lawns with cameras, etc.
Remember when OWS were in LA and SF...they were getting free gourmet food daily, free lattes, warm blankets, music, money, free med care and other amenities from guess who? The PRIVATE sector. Doctors, attorneys, nurses, chefs, masseuses, and many other donated time, money and property to these vagabonds who created their own peril.
The victims of Sandy are probably being ignored because they are largely white (payback time by BO), largely perceived as elitist Northeasterners who stupidly voted for BO, portrayed in film, TV and other media as rude, loud, greedy, dimwit drunken slobs and bimbos (just think of what "Jersey Shore" did to the reputation of New Jersey, not just in the US, but also a large part of Europe.) And there is no "boogey man" to blame as there was with GW for Katrina.
So, Sandy victims, hope Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Eric Clapton and the rest of the limosouine liberals can get you some free stuff.
Although, I would not be holding my breath. Way more than half of these "fund raisers" for victim relief, rarely get actual financial assistance to the actual victims.

Obama never fails to enlist children in his secularist crusades, whether at home or abroad. Last week he trotted out two nine-year-old girls to introduce him at a White House event celebrating “LGBT Pride Month.” “We could not be prouder of Zea and Luna for the introduction,” he said. “Zea and Luna are here with their moms, and also I think with Grandma and Grandpa — correct? And so feel free to congratulate them afterwards for their outstanding introduction.” Zea and Luna proved useful to Obama not only as props for LGBT rights but also as mouthpieces for his gun-control agenda:

Texas Republican Rep.

The ongoing saga of Edward Snowden has at least been moving in the right direction for President Obama. Snowden may once have tried to position himself as a whistleblower, but he has since devolved into ingratiating himself with authoritarian regimes by plying them with American national security secrets. While Pete is correct that the NSA story seems to be hurting voters’ opinion of Obama’s trustworthiness, Americans are by now realizing that they would be foolish to go the other extreme and place that trust in Snowden. It is also (understandably) distracting the public’s attention from the scandals that preceded it,

In two contexts the Obama administration has revealed its complete confusion about high-stakes negotiations and the interrelation of soft and hard power. In Syria, after dragging his feet for two years, trying to fudge over his own “red line” and coming up with a half-hearted move to give small arms to the rebels, President Obama discovers that he can’t budge Russia, which has backed Bashar al-Assad to the hilt. The Post reports that at the Group of 8 summit: Obama has demanded that Assad relinquish power as part of any negotiated peace settlement, a condition Putin rejects.

At least for now (although a statewide referendum may be pending), Arizona governor Jan Brewer, a Republican, has succeeded in her efforts to implement a key part of Obamacare in her state. Brewer has very aggressively — and entirely voluntarily — spearheaded the charge to implement Obamacare’s massive Medicaid expansion on her watch. She now claims, however, that she’s not really implementing Obamacare — or at least not any significant portion of it. In a recent interview reported by the Associated Press, Brewer said, “This business that this is Obamacare is a little bit interesting.”

If Anthony Weiner hadn’t decided to run for mayor, we might never have learned about the cushy deal Hillary Clinton’s State Department arranged for his wife. But that deal has now caught the attention of Sen. Chuck Grassley. And the Judiciary Committee’s ranking Republican has sent State a letter asking 18 specific questions about how and why Huma Abedin was allowed to work simultaneously for Foggy Bottom and private clients. Abedin was serving as Secretary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff when in June 2012 she returned from maternity leave and became a “special government employee.”

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
