Got Beretta's?
During the recent hurricane I have to admit, I was riveted to the News Channels watching the coverage and I live in the Buffalo Area. What did not impress me were the cutaways to the politicians or banners flashing something like President Obama expresses concern. BIG DEAL Even Bloomberg with his signer. (which was very interesting to watch by the way) and the cadre of officials standing behind him gave proof that there was nothing they could do. Shouldn't those guys behind Bloomy have better served the public by doing their jobs instead of wasting their time for a sound byte.
I wondered aloud in some cases when they were going to start blaming George Bush and had flash backs to Katrina.
The libs need victims and then they can say how much they care, and the press swoons with orgasmic delight.
Neighborhoods were burning down and the media shows me a gutter hanging and blowing in the wind.
It is only now that we are seeing how really devastating the storm was in Queens and New Jersey.
The storys of looting and such exist but are played down.
The Politicans are coming out to the rubble for a sound byte and picture op again to tell the press how much they care.
Bottom line - the Government really can't do much to help these people except get in the way.
Where is FEMA?
When will George Bush be blamed.
The officials are coming apart at the seams. The Theme park has been shut down in NYC. Soon the Theme Park goers are going to get restless. Everything in Manhattan comes on a truck and the trucks can't get there.
The officials in Staten island are seeing the look in the peoples eyes and have to blame somebody else so lets blame the Red Cross. WHERE IS OBAMA'S FEMA???? Where is the outrage.

Staten Island Borough President: Don’t Give Money to the Red Cross
At a press conference this morning on Staten Island, a host of local officials, including Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, gathered to highlight the needs of the hard-hit borough in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. And, although many pols spoke, no one was more impassioned than Borough President James Molinaro, who called the Red Cross an “absolute disgrace” and even urged the public to cease giving them contributions.
“Because the devastation in Staten Island, the lack of a response,” Mr. Molinaro said to explain his comment to NBC after the press conference. “You know, I went to a shelter Monday night after the storm. People were coming in with no socks, with no shoes. They were in desperate need. Their housing was destroyed. They were crying. Where was the Red Cross? Isn’t that their function? They collect millions of dollars. Whenever there’s a drive in Staten Island, we give openly and honestly. Where are they? Where are they? I was at the South Shore yesterday, people were buried in their homes. There the dogs are trying to find bodies. The people there, the neighbors who had no electricity, were making soup. Making soup. It’s very emotional because the lack of a response. The lack of a response. They’re supposed to be here….They should be on the front lines fighting, and helping the people.”
Several other local officials agreed with Mr. Molinaro’s rage over Staten Island’s situation, although they did not call out the Red Cross specifically.
“It is as the borough president, Jim Molinaro, said, it’s disgusting, it really is,” State Senator Andy Lanza said, criticizing the city for giving the go-ahead to the New York City Marathon this weekend and the focus on pumping the water out of the East River tunnels. “We’re talking about getting water of the tunnel. Let’s get the water out of the tunnel tomorrow, let’s get the people out of the water today. There’ve been thousands of people who have been displaced. There are people who are cold, who are hungry, who are without a place to go, and looking for warmth. There are people still trapped. Yet we’re talking about marathons and tunnels. I walked on the rooftop of a house yesterday, I stepped on it because the debris that surrounded it was level with the rooftop. That’s what happened here on Staten Island.”
Congressman Michael Grimm concurred.
“I think this is an example of what infuriates people here on Staten Island,” he said. “Like Senator Lanza just said, we have people, people still in water. Families displaced, families wondering where their grandparents are. Are they at a shelter? Are they at a hospital? Or are they gone? That’s what we should be focusing on. I think it would be very misguided to have this marathon. I think that the people of Staten Island will see this, unfortunately…as another shot against them, that the City Hall is more worried about getting everything running again for Manhattan and making everything look like it’s back to normal. We’re not back to normal and we’re not going to be back to normal for a long time.”
