Americans in Kentucky die by the dozens in the midst of an unprecedented winter storm, with FEMA nowhere to be found:
We're asking people to pack a suitcase and head south and find a motel if they have the means, because we can't service everybody in our shelter," said Crittenden County Judge-Executive Fred Brown, who oversees about 9,000 people, many of whom are sleeping in the town's elementary school.
Local officials were growing angry with what they said was a lack of help from the state and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In Grayson County, about 80 miles southwest of Louisville, Emergency Management Director Randell Smith said the 25 National Guardsmen who have responded have no chain saws to clear fallen trees."We've got people out in some areas we haven't even visited yet," Smith said. "We don't even know that they're alive."
Where's FEMA? Do they not respond when anymore when white folks - or perhaps, white Southerners - are in danger? If these were African-Americans, how would Obama be reacting? How would the media be reacting?
Welcome to post-partisanship in the Age of Obama...vote Liberal or Die...

Maybe he's waiting for the results from the focus group.
This article is BULLSHIT! Presidant Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to the United States for a long time. What happened on September 11th 2001 when people flew those planes into buildings killing thousands and maybe even millions? George Bush sat on his ASS in a classroom listing to a little girl read about a freaking cat! How does that sound for a presidant? Not very good to me, he didn't do anything because he probably never got the chance to do something, Presidant is far from racist and I'm sure it would have been the same situation if those people were African-American. So don't bring the race card into this situation. Because if you think Barack Obama is so bad then leave, Because he is here for good and there a lot of people that are relieved that George Bush is out of office, we can all actually breathe now and not worry about this fucked up world anymore.
FEMA does not come in until the Gov. of KY or any state asks for Fed. help. With Katerina and past problems, the state Gov. (who by the way were both dems.) did not ask for federal assistance. So don't blame Bush or Obama, it's the way that FEMA works.
1. Local Assistance
2. State Assistance
3. Federal Assistance
I didn't vote for Obama, and wouldn't ever vote for him, but I believe in facts, and the question of whether ppl are white or black in this case is not an issue here.
Gen. John W. Heltzel, director of Kentucky's Division of Emergency Management has praise for Obama's FEMA effort in Kentucky. What a change from Bush's Katrina failure!
"This is an amazing effort and we have worked long hours to move supplies and equipment. Our working partnership with FEMA ensures we are getting excellent help under difficult circumstances for Kentuckians suffering from the winter storm," said Gen. John W. Heltzel, director of Kentucky's Division of Emergency Management.

Do you people check anything?
You don't have to be cussing. just state your opinion in which everyone haves. Obama haves alot in his plate right now and there is other people there in Washington that can help out also. I am also glad that Obama got to work on important issues right away. Yes, you are right about Bush out, I can't believe that there is so many smart people out there and we as great americans had a president like Bush.
