@NOHATER: 25% ?? Really? Wow, you really are far left: wanting a hand-out. I like the responsibility DEMOCRACY8 has! That's the kind of people I don't mind helping. The ones who are actually trying to help themselves.

TRUST ME: BARACK OBAMA DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES! Obama is 100% Politician. Obama knows that N.Y and N.J. will always Vote Democrat... so... Obama took a few Photos on the Jersey Shore, had a helicopter ride and OBAMA FLEW TO LAS VEGAS ON THE SAME DAY! During the last 2 years Obama had done nothing but campaign for re-election.

NY and NJ have NO GAS, NO WATER, NO HEAT, NO FOOD...and Obama went to a $2,500 Fund Raising Dinner with Beyonce and JayZ...In case you were wondering Obama slept very well in the Presidential Suite at the Ritz- Carlton... While you are waiting 8 hours for a few gallons of gas...Obama burnt 32,0000 Gallons of Fuel in Air Force One.. MEANWHILE....NEW YORKERS WILL DRINK SEWER WATER AND EAT OUT OF DUMPSTERS

FLASH! The National Media is NOT airing any of the despair or misery that is happening . Obama Transparency? There is a TOTAL MEDIA BLACKOUT The National Media does not want to show anything that will hurt Obama's chances for re-election.

There is widespread looting, shooting and stabbings in all five boroughs of NYC. People are freezing, drinking contaminated water and scavenging from dumpsters. I guarantee you will not see what is really happening. FEMA says "everything is great". Truth: Government response is poor, ridiculos delays, completely not prepared. We are suffering, Obama is smiling and saying he is responsible. Obama says vote for Revenge. I will, screw you Obama. Jack from Brooklyn, New York. Lifelong Democrat

From a Republican to a democrat, and from one human being to another. I wish that there was more we could do. I do not donate money to a group like the salvation army because who knows where that money goes. I wish I could just send someone like you and your family a care package of food and water. My family and I will pray or you and I truely hope you have a hot meal, water and heat for your family. If the mail is running I would be more than happy to send you something for your family. email me at mattdf83@yahoo.com and take me up on my offer. If the mail is working i will send you whatever you need within reason. I mean it! God Bless you and know that you have people from maryland thinking and praying for all the folks in Jersey and New York.

with all the damage by sandy, guessing employment of construction workers will increase in all crafts. no doubt civil engineering too and so many other jobs. reconstruction of so much devastation costs billions and billions.

FEMA - insufficient gasoline supplies, water out for a bid on Friday so no water. No plan for evacuation. Plenty of notice. Yes Obama is on top of it.

What makes anyone think that the response of the Federal government is any better now than it was with Katrina? Because Obama visited New Jersey. Big whoopee. Has the promised money been doled out? There are still millions of people without electricity, gas and water shortages, and many people whose homes were destroyed. Lets reevaluate this in six months or a year and we will know how successful the Obama administration was in handling this disaster.

retmw1 - Howdy. It is not the size of government but the efficiency and responsiveness of government that counts. The government can easily add 100,000 more people. What good is it if half of them are sitting in a cubicle with a finger up their noses.

Quite frankly, while I sympathize with those whose homes have been wrecked, I have very little sympathy for those who didn't stock up on water, food and gas BEFORE the storm unless they simply didn't have the means to (most did). It's not as if they didn't know it was coming. VERY foolish on their part. I took care of that 3 days before the storm hit. Common sense.

romney, republicans, want to reduce funding of FEMA and leave disaster relief to the private sector and the states. how is that an improvement over current FEMA? how much money have you personally donated toward sandy damage reconstruction, food and water for citizens? guessing at least 25% of your gross annual salary and if not then shut it.
