'We are living like animals': Sandy victims hit out after being forced to spend 12 da

[Freewill]

Here we are 12 days later, why isn't this being reported like Katrina was reported? The area effected is much smaller and the devastation is less, yet 12 days later it is still a mess. The good news for the people is that the messiah will pay them a visit, all they need do is wait four more days.

Agreed. It's interesting how Bush got lambasted by the media for the way the feds handled Katrina, yet the media is silent about how poorly the Obama administration has handled Sandy.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Idiots.

 

[Stephanie]

oh well, I heard Obama was busy, playing golf this weekend,

 

[syrenn]

the media love obama and hated bush.... thats one reason in my opinion.

FEMA doesn't put the power on.

And the president isn't handling it badly and didn't handle it badly

No matter how much anyone wants to pretend that he and baby bush were equally bad

Sandy isn't Katrina.

Things are progressing. This isnt the movies, life will not return to normal 5 min. After a disaster.

 

[Stephanie]

Too bad you people didn't have the same consideration for Bush with Katrina

Nobody is expecting an immediate recovery, but in the 21st century expecting power to be restored to the most populous region in the country in less than 12 days is more than a reasonable expectation.

True, he didn't really handle it at all. He just flew to New Jersey for a photo op before the election.

I don't agree they were equally bad. Obama is much worse on his response than Bush was, in my opinion.

My opinion is that there is little more that either could do or did. The ONLY difference is the reporting.

Jillian has spoken thus all should now be silent because of her partisan brilliance. Bow down to her unlinked and uninformed opinion. DO IT NOW!

What are you talking about? He told his minions they HAD to return phone call within 15 minutes!!!

Clearly you don't live in an area that has storms.

I live in Ohio, I lose power for a week so once a year, due to weather. The power is not a government issue, it's the power company. They restored power and it caused fires. Its going slowly because they have to canvas affected areas 1st to assess the damage before they can restore power.

12 days without power after a storm like sandy isnt too long IMO.

 

[Politico]

It's not being reported the same way because it is not anywhere near as bad as Katrina.

And expecting power to be restored quickly when you live where the grid is from the early 20th century is unreasonable.

they are living like animals but I bet they found a way to vote for their savior..

hey you can reach him at the golf club he's so worried about you all..

I live on a road out in the sticks with 8 houses. We have the oldest of electric lines so we are the last to be fixed. We went 7 days without power once, quite a bummer with well water and animals. I finally called the electric company and told them me and the neighbors were going to splice the line and prop it up with 2 by 4s. I asked if they wanted to be there when I closed the breaker on the pole. He told me he could not give me permission to do so. I said I wasn't asking for permission I was asking if they wanted to be there. They fixed our electricity that day.

It take awhile to fix things but I am thinking 12 days is way long.

That's just not true, his worry made him bogey the third hole and lose a skin to Hillary.

Last I checked 1800 people weren't dead, hundreds weren't standing on the roofs of their homes with signs, watching media choppers go by as they died stranded in their homes.

It is not the same.

As I said this isn't as big, nor did the governors and mayors leave their people to die.
