Well, this one he cannot get away from and blame on Bush – that ice storm earlier this week that hit the MidWest? More deaths there than from Katrina! So what is emergency effectiveness of "turn up the heat in the Oval Office" Obama and his FEMA head, Nancy Ward, to this killer ice storm with 1 million still without power 5 days later?? From Jeff at RedState:
42 people dead; communities iced in and without lifesaving power for heat and cooking; conditions worsening — and FEMA nowhere to be found.
This isn’t a lefty caricature of disaster-response under the Bush administration; it’s real-life unresponsiveness under the leadership of President Obama (whose accession was supposed to mark a “return to competence” in government).
Guess that question of Obama’s during his Inaugural address ("…The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works…") has now been answered: NO, IT DOESN’T!
“In some parts of rural Kentucky, they’re getting water the old-fashioned way — with pails from a creek,” writes Associated Press reporter Bruce Schreiner. “There’s not room for one more sleeping bag on the shelter floor. The creative are flushing their toilets with melted snow.”
…Smith said FEMA has been a no-show so far.
Hey Dems, payback is a….well, you know. The ONLY reason why this isn’t getting play is that the MSM is in cover mode…..again.
and here (It seems we have people dying by the dozens in the midwest, where they’ve been freezing to death for a few days. Local officials are calling out the Federal government for its notable lack of response…") and here.
As Jeff said: "Heckofa job there, Barry!"
Me? Blame both Obama and the main stream press (once again, showing that they are continuing to earn their downward financial death spiral with a vengence!)
And as always H/T: Instapundit
