6 months after Sandy, thousands homeless in NY, NJ

[bripat9643]

Six months after Superstorm Sandy devastated the Jersey shore and New York City and pounded coastal areas of New England, the region is dealing with a slow and frustrating, yet often hopeful, recovery. Tens of thousands of people remain homeless. Housing, business, tourism and coastal protection all remain major issues with the summer vacation — and hurricane — seasons almost here again.

"Some families and some lives have come back together quickly and well, and some people are up and running almost as if nothing ever happened, and for them it's been fine," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a news conference Thursday. "Some people are still very much in the midst of recovery. You still have people in hotel rooms, you still have people doubled up, you still have people fighting with insurance companies, and for them it's been terrible and horrendous."

Remember the outcry about Katrina? No need to worry suffering and hardship under Obama is different.

Katrina was far worse. Can't compare the 2.

And the government responded much faster and in greater capacity for Sandy.

Yes, Katrina was far worse. And President Bush was hammered by the libs for his "insufficient" response to Katrina. Sandy wasn't near as bad as Katrina, yet it seems that President Obama's response has been much worse than Bush's was for Katrina. How come we don't hear those same liberals hammering Obama over this?

Oh yeah, how was the Obama admin's response to Sandy?

Obviously Obama's response has been entirely inefficient. Those thousands of people who are still homeless because of Sandy are witness to that effect. Oh, that is right, maybe they don't count because most were middle class Americans who actually owned their homes and did not live in the projects.

There is not a single way that the response to Sandy was worse than that of Katrina. Katrina was a study in gross negligence. Criticism of Obama's response to Sandy is just spin from the right. There were people from the state and federal government on the ground the next day.

Obama admins response? What happened with Congressional funding games? The response was as flawless as can be in today's world. The there is what followed the response. Conservative GOP bullshit
