"a group of obama supporters cannot name a single obama accomplishment"
politics as usual.......
looks to me like the only 'change' they got was the 'change' from 'changing things' back to the same old same old.
reminds me of the politician in the old Dogpatch comic strip. every election he would sashay into town begging forgiveness and promising to make amends all he needed was another chance. next frame he's back on the plane never to be seen again until the next election.
I wish lazy @ss sonsabeatches would man up and move the freakin' garbage themselves, instead of waiting for Big Brother to do it. WTF!
Speaking of Big Brother, nice bit with the mayor there too. Since when does it take so long to drive a frickin' loader down a street? The roads are not destroyed, there's crap lying on them. Are there no dump trucks in Alabama?
They are pretty quick to take the tax money, maybe they should SHOW UP when it all hits the fan, eh? And yes, they pay FEDERAL taxes, so yes, maybe FEMA should bring some of those very expensive trailers down there. That the people already paid for with their taxes. Haiti earthquake relief was faster than this.
There are unrealistic expectations in both clips. I buy home insurance, as did that one individual shown in the clip, to provide the "help" needed. This is available to everyone.
Governments are just like insurance companies; quick to take your money but...
Phantom has the gist of it:
Stop relying on Government and plan ahead for YOURSELF.
Self reliance, independence and auto determination are on the verge of a very big comeback...A looming economic depression told me so.
BTW: Self reliance starts with self defense; a good word of advice would be to get a big game hunters permit so to have access to long rifles and guns...Quick before the Government figures out it can't all protect us from ourselves and decides to put "hunting" on "hold" indefinitely.
there's probably some regulation says you can't lift any debris without a permit or license. Nanny wouldn't want you to hurt yourself doing what should be left for professionals
Where is the Army? According to Quebec, the army always hangs around and helps with the cleanup in the United States. The Canadian Forces leaving without cleaning up after the flooding was a sign of how much the ROC lets down Quebec.
It doesn't matter anymore what we think Obama can or cannot do. What is happening in America is fixed into their future and will prevail.
When they can no longer borrow funds to finance the
power of their armed forces they will slide from the horizon. It's very sad to watch the sunset of a great nation and the world will not be better off without a strong America.
Obama can bounce around with his TelePrompter all he likes, but he really is irrelevant to the course of history. He has ensured that an American comeback to the world stage cannot
happen.
We can speculate about what the end will look like, but we can't stop it from happening. The one mistake we can make is to treat Obama as a political discussion because that implies that a change can take place.
The time for dreams of change are over for America, we can only hope that our world will not move into another future called the "second dark ages". As it stands no one can claim that the last fifty years was the "age of enlightenment in America".
Perhaps that will be Obama's legacy to history; "To turn out the lights as the last man standing".
My wife and I were in Thailand in 2005, 4 months after the tsunami. It was not our first visit, so we had the opportunity to measure "before" vs. "after". What amazed us - even in the most hard-hit areas - was the speed with which the devastation was being remedied. What we also found inspiring was the resilience and the determination of the people who didn't wait for government aid, but rather, in spite of their losses - both material and personal - dug in in an attempt to restore their lives as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, that determination appears to be absent here. Sad.
39% more people are on food-stamps since Obamba took office, how dare anyone say he ain’t looking after them. The dream is alive, no work and get paid. Blacks across America “don’t need to worry about their mortgage anymore neither”.
To be fair in a situation like that we don't know the facts. Perhaps people were not let back into the areas they lived for health and looting risks.
I don't think you could rent a truck or backhoe. A lot of businesses are gone. Job gone no money.
It would be life changing.
jcl, American assets that cost millions of dollars were on the ground and getting it done faster in Haiti than they are in Alabama.
A month later and the -streets- aren't cleared? Its only six freakin' blocks, one guy with a bobcat and a dumptruck would have it half done by now. Even if he had to do it solo. Wooden houses got blown apart by wind, the place didn't get buried in a landslide. There can't be that much material to move.
There's no paving companies in Alabama that have machines to lend? No guys trying to help out bringing their loader, farm tractor, even wheel barrows?
If it isn't done yet, the city, county or state must be actively preventing volunteers from doing it.
Screw the US disaster victims, Obamba is broke. He has wars to fight for your “freedom & liberty”, by people on the other side of the globe who “hate your freedoms” and whom we to save! Along with dozens of other third world crapholes we need to sink your money into as far as restructuring and aid. So suck it up, get back to work and keep giving – Your “fair share” in taxes WILL be going up again soon.
Heartbreaking. More Obama smoke & mirrors BS.
Why not have the Army come in? Even the Romans used ledions to re-build roads & help earthquake towns to spring up anew.
The Army core of engineers could make this go away fast.
I Morn for the America of the free, that has now become the Land of Political Marxism gone mad.

People expect to be coddled and someone is stupid enough to say yes.
I do not mean to make light of those whose homes were destroyed but really don't expect the government to help dust you off, especially when it's headed by an empty-suit.
I don’t think it’s “making light”, that’s what insurance is supposed to be for.
On the other hand, people pay a hell of allot in taxes for non-existent government support. Where is their power, water and open roads that they pay to have maintained? Where is FEMA, where does FEMA get its funding to begin with?
This is where Obamba has fallen down, yet again. The goal should be to get these people up and running to continue to contribute to society. Instead, they are left to fend for themselves along with private insurance, while Obamba indiscriminately drops $250K bombs around Libya, and sends military aid to Haiti amongst other foreign nations.
its easy "not patricia"
they both expect something free from obama , the wizard of odds.
one expected free gas and free mortgage, the other a free house. and not a finger lifted to help themselves, note that they hadnt cleaned up one thing by themselves. not even to clear a pathway or stack the usable items.
During the Obamba campaign there were millions of deluded people who thought they were voting for a “savoir”. They lied, cheated and stole to put the man in power, and won.
X
Two years later, when the nation needs real leadership during multiple domestic crises, the “savoir” is taking royal holidays, expanding wars and giving billions in aid to foreign countries. To state that he has turned his back on the nation that hoped for “change”, is a gross understatement of the highest miscalculation.
Ya’ll was unfortunately wrong. No need to admit it, your living with the consequences.
not patricia is being all racist again. Any comment by anyone about anyone who does not have white skin is racism in not patricia's world. Which believe it or not, not patricia, is racism. So tell us, not patricia, does your white cape have two eye holes and a pointy cap?
Oh. Thanks Joe, I didn't see that angle, of course "not Patricia" took something obviously benign on SDA again and turned it into another racism issue.
The hallmark of left and the - racists – that they are, I should give my head a shake for not seeing it right away.
"If it isn't done yet, the city, county or state must be actively preventing volunteers from doing it."
Yes, I agree. I was paralleling the "waiting for Big Brother to come and do it" mentality that seemed prevalent in both cases. The fact that no one IS actually coming and doing it is in fact somewhat surprising....

What's that old saying about throwing stones in glass houses? I figured out that Knight 99 had a typo on the word savoir and meant savior but I am having trouble with not patricia's word "gigure". I hope not patricia is willing to clarify since it is obvious that not patricia is incapable of simple typos of the kind that Knight 99 made. BTW using Firefox "gigure" shows up as an error, savoir does not. Just sayin'.
Obama and lip service are joined at the hip. When will Americans realize they are headed for complete devestation from economic to the social structure of the USA. Under his watch.
But the key point is the rejection of individual responsibility and the insistence on a Father Figure, such as Obama or the Government, to move in and 'take care of everything'.
Obama, of course, supports this rejection of individual self-reliance and strength and urges a reliance on federal government..and Him. Remember how he insisted that Congress, which represents the People, pass his legislation based only on their trust in Him. Without reading or debating these bills. Now - that's authoritarianism. A theocratic authoritarianism, with Himself as Saviour.
I think Americans are seeing their country is turning into Chicago. The difference is they still have a chance to stop it. The people that will dislike bambam the most are the people he let down the hardest.
Obviously the common thread is that Obama has lied to both of them. No, wait...they both just lived through the most memorable time of their life. Just a sec, I meant neither of them have to worry about paying their mortgages...
They have so much in common, those two women. Am I missing something obvious Not Patricia? Pray tell.
At first I assumed you were simply another vanilla, run of the mill, lefty troll that frequents SDA. Now I can clearly see you are “full retard”.
Hasn’t anyone ever told you that you “never go full retard”?
It’s time to change the moniker and come in as someone else again Alex, BTJ, Davenport or whatever personality summersaults around your head these days. You’re a non argument.
Thanks Joe, not a problem. Of course it was a typo. I was using my Ipod on back deck enjoying the day posting the comment. Simply not as easy to type and edit.
At the end of the day, it’s hilarious that a typo became the only argument available for the left wing nut. Some things never change, it’s called "winning”.
@trevor I can assure you the town of Slave lake has been over run by a army of restoration company's already busy at restoring the town. The local hospital had 100s of people getting it back operable. No excuses no delay's. No excuses for Obama.

The destruction is saddening, but worse is witnessing so many Americans who have forfeited their independence for the cold comfort of Nanny State.
As for federal Obama help, I wonder how long it would take if Chicago got slammed with a tornado?
there's probably some regulation says you can't lift any debris without a permit or license. Nanny wouldn't want you to hurt yourself doing what should be left for professionals

We volunteered for flood and hurricane cleanup along the coast of NC.
One man wanted to burn his devastated,
flooded home.
We were told No!
The carpets are a health hazard.
So, we removed all the carpets,
No again.
Because the roof is made of shingles-
Health hazard.
I told him to go to the store and get a cold drink,
When he got back it was almost burnt to the ground because the fire dept got stuck.
The electric wiring was faulty-
Amazing what a can of gas and a cigarette lighter can do.
39% more people are on food-stamps since Obamba took office, how dare anyone say he ain’t looking after them. The dream is alive, no work and get paid. Blacks across America “don’t need to worry about their mortgage anymore neither”.

Also, notice that the states not getting lots of attention or federal aid seem to all be red states: Texas, Wisconsin, Alabama, Oklahoma...
From where I sit, the Obama administration is punitively punishing those who did not vote for the right candidates.
Knight, I merely meant that I wasn't trying to be cavalier about those whose homes were destroyed.
Thankfully, some did have insurance and can- after much heartache and hard work- rebuild.
