How come Obama isn't standing up for the hundred thousand the GOP is poisoning in Flint?

As a side note, this effects children for the most part, that is under 10,000 people. It is important to add filters to their home supplies and schools.

IMHO, at this point, everybody,,as in EVERYBODY, can take their blame and shove it. Right now the disaster is way too critical for blame. Save it for later, and instead of bitching, learn something from it. But right now, we have learned that the situation is even worse than anticipated. It has been announced, on Friday, that the lead in some tested homes is up to 4,000 ppm. What that means is that the faucet filters are useless because they can only filter up to 1500 ppm (I think that's the number). My family there is frantic. Besides cooking, clean water is necessary for so many things you don't think about..tooth brushing, washing vegetables, pets..the list is depressingly long. And to date nobody is DOING anything to alleviate the issue. No offer of loans to replace pipes into homes and within homes which is said to average about 4K for a 1 story within, plus the line to the outer connection..which nobody can find because they are so old. Take heed all old towns! This problem is coming your way. And please shut off the blame and DO SOMETHING.

Callous conservatives don't care and won't unless it is they who have to pay a tax. Then watch the whining.

Racists & Bigots don't care, it is only the poor and people of color who are mostly effected. Watch them whine when they have to pay a tax to fix what the penny wise and pound foolish have done to America.

Because even Hussein understands Flint, Michigan is a dismal lost cause. That, and he's got an urgent tee time to meet. The Democrats destroyed Flint just like they did Detroit. It's over. There is no coming back for Flint, Michigan. Dissolve the city and move on.

Obama visits Michigan amid Flint, Detroit crises - CNNPolitics.com

Seems the president is meeting with the mayor of Flint the state's GOP governor has illegally bypassed. We call a dictatorship unconstitutional.

Gov. Snyder has known about this since LAST YEAR when he was notified in September.

He said he activated the National Guard to pass out water. Turns out it was 7. That's right, 7.
As in 1,2,3,4,5,6,SEVEN National Guard members serving 100,000.

And he bought in researchers to check the water house by house. 5. That's it, just five. As in
1,2,3,4, FIVE.
Five to check the water for 100,000 people. That's one hundred thousand people. As in 1,2,3,4,5,6..............................98,000, 99,000, ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND.

This is just one more typical right wing policy that is letting Americans suffer. Not by nature, but by Republicans.

Someone has some 'splainin' to do. Can't wait for the spin.

The EPA is to blame, wasteful and ineffective organization full of Green lobbyists.

Empowered by career politicians like commander asshat in the White House... Preaching hope and change to the gullible...
Lol

The Power Elite's effort to dumb down Americans has worked well, if the posts by Rustic and Iceweasel are any indication.

Federal government has not worked for the people many, many decades. Why should anyone think it's any different now??

The people voted for and hoped for change, Boehner and McConnell dashed those hopes by political machinations, convincing the fools that any efforts to work for the people were simply an effort to transform America into a Socialist Country. And stupid people still believe that bullshit today.

Do I detect a hint of fascism in paulitician's post above?

For those who wonder why I ask such a question, let us look at this definition:

"In ancient Rome, the fasces—a bundle of rods strapped together around an ax—was a symbol of power. In 1919 the Italian leader Benito Mussolini named his forcesfasci, after this symbol. Later, Mussolini's style of government became known as fascism. Fascist leaders believe that the strength of the country is more important than the well-being of the people.

I chose this source for a reason, that being the New Right does not recognize what they have become.

Just stating reality. Dissolve the city and government. It's over as a U.S. City. The Democrats killed Flint like they did so many other once flourishing American cities. So much ugly mismanagement and corruption. There will be no comeback for Flint. I feel for its citizens, but it is over. Time to dissolve and move on.

From a Partisan Hack who will not apply the blame to all involved...............Only one side can do wrong...........Go back to your Kool Aide.

You want to pay politics.............then why didn't FEMA get ordered in and Obama accept the declaration of Emergency.

Everyone in the food chain is part of the problem.............but you are so full of political BS that you can't see the difference...............They need a Billion Dollars to replace the lines...................Obama is always ready to spend on Solar..........how about Water now............after WASTING 800 BILLION that could have done some good.

It's over for Flint. And it's the Democrats who actually killed it. They've done the same in Detroit. But the Citizens there consistently chose Democratic Party leadership. It was their call. Now they have to accept their poor decisions and put the blame where it belongs.

It's awful Democratic mismanagement and corruption that destroyed Flint and Detroit. This one isn't on the Republicans. But regardless, it's time to dissolve the city and Government. It's no longer a viable U.S. City. I truly feel for the people there, but when it's over, it's over. Time to move on.

No blame or even recognition of the decision by GM to leave the city?

That's odd, one might take you for a partisan hack for pointing the finger at Democrats when corporate America left Flint, creating an immediate crisis for homeowners and landlords, retail stores and their employees, banks and their employees, service providers and the tax base of city leaders.

Is that you Hillary? "What difference does it make?"

This is not a democrat vs republican issue! These are people, who were poisoned by negligence of elected officials. The people did not know, now their houses can't sell they are stuck. It's a shame how people say "ah it's the dems, or it's the repubs that did it" and feel smug that it is a fault of the other side. That is truly sad and how screwed up this 2 party system is, you have no empathy for the other side, and will find ways to blame the other side even when yours is negligent. embarrassing how brainwashed you are.

It Doesn't matter which side, it is one government they are all accountable. Some people there vote for dems, some vote for Repubs, outside of that they had no choice about the water they used. Now the damage is done to the next few generations of people from flint.

Businesses come and go. That's always been the case. GM did not = The Republican Party. And it still doesn't. In fact, it was a Democrat President that gave GM $Billions in Taxpayer Bailouts. Flint and Detroit have been run by the Democratic Party for several decades. And all during that time there has been massive awful mismanagement and corruption. I mean, how many Democrat Detroit Mayors and other officials, went to prison for corruption?

The reality is, the citizens of those cities chose the Democratic leaders who destroyed their cities. It's all on them. They have to take responsibility for their bad decisions. Their destruction is of their own doing. It's unfair and cowardly to try and put it on the Republicans now. I won't accept it. Period, end of story.

I did Saturn with my husband ok. Don't you dare tell me what happened in Michigan. They literally sucked the car companies dry asshole and the companies moved.

Now we did Tennessee with Saturn when he worked with PPG over paint but make no mistake. Michigan killed the car companies and forced them to move to different states.
