Not according to Gov. Christie. He said they need all the federal help they can get. And, I might add that the Gov. was on the Today Show this morning applauding Obama and FEMA on how it is being handled. I do give Christie props for thanking Obama, and FEMA for their quick action. That's the thing with people like you, Hoot, and TRT, and government people like Gov. Christie, you want all these government programs cut, FEMA, police, firefighters, and other first responders, until you need them. Then, like Christie, you hand will be palm up.

I've heard a lot of talk about the 'fog of war' lately. As it applies to you, it's a 'fog of your'. You are so consistently wrong about what I think it is remarkable. I know for sure we have talked about FEMA, and disaster relief in general, in the past, and I know just as surely that my stated posistion was and is, one of total support for federal disaster relief efforts. That doesn't mean I support the individual states for not establishing a rainy day fund, such as the one in Massachusetts, of which, governor Romney left funded in excess of 2 billion dollars. As governor of New Jersey, Christie has a responsibility to get his state back up on it's feet. He therefore isn't about to politicise the ordeal his state must endure in the aftermath of hurricane Sandy.

What I want to see cut, is the millions of "palm up" hands of the career, and in many cases, second and third generation welfare folks out there. They need to get their lazy hides out of the bed in the early am like you and I do, and work. (admittedly I have curtailed the number of my work days of late, but I still get out quite a bit) I still enjoy working, and I have found it to be good for my wallet and good for my health. Universal health care is another bad idea, because my family suffers due to the fact that I get a hefty sum extorted from my income every week, the government uses to feed, house, provide free health care, cell phones and $150.00 dollar tennis shoes for folks who would likely wear them while dancing in the street if my house was on fire. Along with a blank check for the college education of their choice and the list is endless from there.

Let's not kid ourselves here. Obama's mug will be on the news looking presidential everyday this disaster is aboil. Hopeful that it will serve as a boost to his floundering campaign. I'm not saying that it's underhanded. It is however, self serving and a jurisdictional overlap. The governors and emergency agencies have been ramped up for some time now, in anticipation of Sandy's landfall, they know what their doing and the funds you mention, in the form of "federal help", were allocated months ago at the federal level. Obama will milk it for all it's worth, which means he has an ulterior motive for getting so involved. But, he always has an ulterior motive. He has figured out how to keep his face on TV while giving the appearance being at the helm. You guys all went ape when Paul Ryan put on an apron and washed a few pots and pans, the only difference here is that Obama is using a national disaster for an extended photo op and Ryan used an apron.

America will pick herself back up. Here's hoping those affected by this storm get their lives back in order soon.
