6 months after Sandy, thousands homeless in NY, NJ

[t_polkow]

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?

Immie

???? The President was on it from minute one , just ask REPUBLICAN Governor Chris Christy. The republican bible thumping cockroaches from jesusland in the congress wanted to hold back funding

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.

Moron, In New Orleans all the bridges were out for 2 days and the airport was under water. And of course there is the minor fact that the Governor positioned NO national Guard assets in or near New Orleans. Nor were all the emergency sites listed nor handled by the City as required. Katrina took out 3 States all Obama had to handle was a small area in new York and New Jersey. 6 months and thousands are still living in SHELTERS. Ya great response.

The gross negligence from katrina, came from the local democrat leaders.

really? Local Democrats were in charge of FEMA?

Yeah fema told them not to load the hundreds of school buses with people to get them above sea level and save people and the buses. Oh wait a minute.

Myth-Making in New Orleans *|*American Journalism Review

From AJR, December/January 2006
Myth-Making in New Orleans

The impressive media coverage of Hurricane Katrina was marred by the widespread reporting—sometimes attributed to public officials—of murders and rapes that apparently never took place. What can news outlets learn from this episode to prevent similar problems in the future

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.

Riiight, That's because the Governors and mayors involved enforced evacuation rules and fewer were killed. My family in Broad Channel evacuated, yet when they were allowed to return FEMA and other agencies were not there or by-passed their areas for Rockaway, Hewlett, Atlantic Beach and Long Beach.
I'm surprised that Obama and other Democrats didn't demand that the unions be involved in the clean up at union wages.

Pruden's claim that the city possessed 2,000 school buses that could have been used for a pre-storm evacuation appears to be an exaggeration of a September 1 Associated Press photograph of school buses parked in a flooded lot in New Orleans. The photograph was widely reported on conservative websites, including the Media Research Center's NewsBusters weblog, the Instapundit weblog, and Michelle Malkin's weblog. A September 6 MSNBC.com article that described the scene in the AP photograph noted, "Some 200 New Orleans school buses sit underwater in a parking lot, unused. That's enough to have evacuated at least 13,000 people."

Apparently, those school buses constituted the majority of New Orleans' school bus fleet. According to a September 5, 2003, article in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, "The [Orleans Parish school] district owns 324 buses but 70 are broken down." A 2003 document posted on the Louisiana Department of Education's website confirms that Orleans Parish used 324 "board owned" school buses and no "contractor owned" school buses.

On the September 7 edition of Hannity & Colmes, Gingrich echoed Pruden's inaccurate claim, falsely asserting that the city possessed "more than enough buses to, in a methodical, orderly way, help every poor person leave the city."

But Gingrich's claim has no basis in fact. While estimates of the number of residents stranded in New Orleans following the storm vary, New Orleans officials have suggested that 80 percent of the city's residents evacuated before the hurricane hit. That leaves roughly 97,000 residents who remained in New Orleans.

New Orleans' combined fleet of public transit and school buses would not have had nearly enough capacity to evacuate all of those who remained in the city. A July 8 Times-Picayune article, titled "RTA buses would be used for evacuation; But plan still falls far short of needs," pointed out that the RTA owned 364 public buses. "Even if the entire fleet was used," the Times-Picayune noted, "the buses would carry only about 22,000 people out of the city -- far short of the 134,000 people estimated to be without cars in a recent University of New Orleans study." Even the addition of the full school bus fleet would have been far from sufficient to transport the remaining residents.

When people rely on the stories planted in the MSM by right wing assholes and FOX News, they inevitably end up making assholes out of themselves

stories about buses and other bullshit have all mostly been debunked.

Katrina is like 9/11 for right wing assholes

The gross negligence from katrina, came from the local democrat leaders.

really? Local Democrats were in charge of FEMA?

Actually local democrats did not follow the preapproved emergency plan.

Are you claiming that the 'Honorable" Gov. Blanco, and Mayor Nagin were incompetence and incompetent in doing their jobs in saving the citizens during Katrina and the debacle in the aftermath? Hmm... It wasn't them, we have to blame Buoosh, but no way no how should Obama be blamed for not allowing Federal agencies assist those stricken by the 2012 Hurricane. It's all Buoosh's fault.

FEMA deals with that type of shit. Of Louisiana officials hold some blame, but not for the inaction of the Feds.

2012 hurricane response by the feds was so totally different than the inaction of the feds after Katrina it is insulting to allow you to get away with slinging your shit without exposing you for the pathetic piece of work you are

and you had a problem with that?

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.

Immie

An easier way to say it is "they weren't black." See, white people can never be victims of a black president.

Yes they can. One of the things the GOP ran on in 2012 was White Victimhood .. and lost. So in essence, white Republicans have been victimized twice by a black President
