    I watched a few videos of these people, which prompted me to find a story to reference. These people are demanding that their power be restored, or that they be told when their power will be back on. Having been through a hurricane before, these people just look like whiny children to me. This is just what happens when hurricanes (or any other disasters) hit. It takes a while to get utilities back. You just find a way to get by without them. That is the adult thing to do - deal with or fix the problems, don't whine about them.

    (*)(*)(*)(*) greedy yankees, why don't they burn their furniture for heat? Why do they live in flood prone areas? Why should the rest of us bail them out?

    just repeating some of the lines that we heard from up north after Katrina.

    The most vulnerable are struggling to cope with Sandy's aftermath...
    :omg:
    Sick, frail struggle most in storm's aftermath
    12 Nov.`12 — Some of society's most vulnerable people — the elderly, the disabled and the chronically ill — have been pushed to the brink in the powerless, flood-ravaged neighborhoods struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy.

    To help obozo win, the liberal TV networks carried Chris Christie's lie that obama was a big help after sandy hit. Now that the truth comes out, that obama has done nothing, the same networks are silent.

    Uh, there is a difference between people not having electricity, and Katrina's two weeks later where people where sitting on rooftops or 30,000 people were without water in the amphitheater.

    They gave a nod of approval at the polls. Obviously they felt this was being handled in a way they supported. Be patient people.

    Just imagine what they're going to do when they have to wait 60+ days for a doctors appointment in 2014.

    So let me get this straight. 30-40 degree weather, hit by another storm, snow, the one good weekend we will have in November, and 30-40 degree weather for the rest of the week. And they sound like whiners to you, instead of people trying to get ready for the rest of the week.

    they are out there, but this is bigger then just putting 400 Generators out there, it's gonna take time, they got power companies from all over assisting, it's just (man hours needed - available man hours) can't go any faster then that

    they looked like a clean shaven bunch of people not happy that their power wasn't restored yet, without power you have nothing to do (other then maybe volunteer to help) so they are just scheduling this meeting to get a update on progress and to vent a little

    Remember, Mitzy wanted to do away with FEMA on one of his flip flops.

    FEMA is a .......*shudder*..... federal government agency and we all know how evil the federal government is.

    If you think of it like that yes, at the same time it's just the same face of a coin.

    Like too many spoiled American sheeple instead of neighbor helping neighbor, they look for Big Brother goobermint to solve their problems.

    And when it doesn't work, they whine and cry but keep voting for more Big Brother goobermint like more of the same poison will make it better.

    Really? Did you bother to read the article? Blaming the people who are supposed to do a job, but don't, is a typical expression anywhere you go.

    Junior, you really need to focus on something like a plant or a dog. Your anger is frightening.

    But I'm glad to see you subscribe to the liberal philosophy of It Takes a Village, not the ********** patriots credo of every man for himself. Please share with the group what else you admire about Secretary of State Clinton. I suspect you're a closeted liberal.
