After President Barack Obama's flyover and photo-ops, some locals are still not happy.
(Associated Posers) NEW YORK CITY Unsatisfied with the unbelievably great response by President Barack Obama to the devastation left by Sandy, some residents now claim they have been left for dead. 3 days after the huge storm swept through the region President Obama and FEMA have received high praise from Republicans like the Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie and the mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg, who just endorsed the President for re-election.
In spite of this acclaim some residents of New York City claim to have been left behind to fend on their own as in a Mad Max movie.
Were going to die! Were going to freeze! We got 90-year-old people! Donna Solli told visiting officials. You dont understand. You gotta get your trucks down here on the corner now. Its been three days!
Staten Island was one of the hardest-hit communities in New York City. More than 80,000 residents are still without power. Many are homeless, and at least 19 people died on Staten Island because of the storm. Groups of people have been spotted at grocery store trash dumpsters looking for food in other parts of the city.
I cannot believe the level of whining one Democrat Party official as he entered a celebrity-studded party at a posh hotel near Times Square where the power is still on. The President gave some wonderful photo-ops, hugged a lady at the airport and flew over to see the wreckage. What else can you expect?
Staten Island resident Mike Abuzzios home is completely gone, with only his floor boards remaining. He, his wife and their two young daughters have been staying with relatives.
My youngest daughter yesterday said, Daddy, I want to go, Abuzzio told ABC News. I told her, Its going to be awhile, hon. She doesnt understand. Shes 6.
In the rubble that was once his home, Abuzzio found one clean, intact plate of Christmas china. He said that plate will be special at Christmastime and will be used specifically for his mothers cookies.
This is America, not a third world nation. We need food, we need clothing, Staten Island Borough President Jim Molinaro said today. My advice to the people of Staten Island is: Dont donate the American Red Cross. Put their money elsewhere.
The Red Cross and the National Guard arrived in the area late Tuesday and are distributing food, water and gas and city officials say things are much better.
The mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg said everything was already improving drastically and to prove this did not cancel the New York Marathon. There will also be a free Bruce Springstein concert. Seriously, I don't understand the problem. You just can't please some people
Sarcasm? Sounds like a real Dem official attitude to me.
Shame Christie could not keep his mouth shut and wait a few days to see how obama was dealing with this, but no he is out campaigning now while many go with out and yes the media ignore this like so many issues,ie.e Libya
Didn’t we see a trucks of Samaritan’s Purse headed their way to help them? Didn’t Billy Graham offer to help elect Romney. I wonder if the people of New York still have enough IQ to put two and two together.

Nonsense. No one is going to die. Barack Obama is doing such a good job, the media said he’s doing such a good job at doing such a good job, Chris Christie was on the job, he’s the invaluable guy on every job, you know the one with his hands in his pockets who does such a good job and tells everyone how the boss is doing such a good job.
I thought it was Axl Rose...oh wait, it’s “you’re gonnna diiiiiiiiieeeee”
That didn’t take long and it’s going to get worse...
Did Bloomberg really say that? If so, that is disgusting!
sure he and his well connected NY high society folks are fine. He’s a pig...no that’s rude to real pigs...he’s a LIMO LIBERAL====the lowest known form of life!!!
Joe bidens gonna make a speech in NY and say
“you guys have balls the size of mice”
lol
lol. No. I add quotes to make it more like what liberals would think.

Christie shot off his mouth prematurely, now he is going to look like a moron as things fall apart
I stopped reading right there.
Did he heal everyone and solve all their problems?
HELL NO!
GO TO HELL A/P!
Obama needs to assure them that their 4G service will be restored, to just have faith...
seriously I hope it doesn’t get worse.
3 days in and people are digging in dumpsters, meanwhile Bloomy wants his marathon and springstein concert
FEMA wastes time and money, put to use better at the local level,
by buying ammunition, training a private Obama-FEMA army and
‘investing’ in special troop carriers to be used against these same
citizens in the event they become unsatisfied with Obama’s
aid efforts and get rowdy.
Bloomy is too busy with his marathon and Springstein concert to worry about the peasant concerns
