Ice Storms Strike the Heartland: Where’s Obama?
Pajamas Media ^ | February 2 | Steve Gill

Last week a massive ice storm struck the heartland of America, leaving at least 42 dead and millions without power or water. Days later there are still over a million people in Kentucky who have no power, no water, and no communications. They could have to survive this way for weeks! The conditions are dire and getting worse, with some storm survivors carrying pails of water from creeks. Thousands more are living in shelters with no timetable for returning home. FEMA is nowhere to be found.

Amid this catastrophe, where is President Barack Obama? While millions are struggling were struggling with the dangerous and deadly icy conditions President Obama had the thermostat in the Oval Office cranked up like a “hothouse” growing orchids. On Thursday — while millions in Tennessee and Kentucky did not have access to shelter or food — Obama hosted a cocktail party at the White House and served up fancy martinis and an appetizer menu that featured mouthwatering wagyu steak costing $100 a pound....

I NOW understand why Obama made that cocky remark about DC schools shutting with the “It’s just a little ice”. That was his message to people in Kentucky and Oklahoma, “It’s just a little ice”.

I’d imagine Bush wouldn’t have received such praise and laughter if he’d said “It’s just a little water” regarding New Orleans.

Not to mention cranking up the heat from a bone-rattling 72 to much more tolerable 77 degrees!!

My gosh--it was sooooo cold in there,,,that you had to wear a suit coat in the Oval Office before.

We don’t need Zero’s help. We need more electrical line workers. Hell, I’d get up there and help them if I knew what I was doing.

Where's obammer, you ask???

Why he's on his adopted country's television station apologising for the rotten country he's been forced to lead and telling all of them how he's going to fix things so that his bretheren (islamo-muslim communists) are once again happy!

That's were obammer is!

“while millions in Tennessee and Kentucky did not have
access to shelter and food”...

Not to worry, they're preparing to set up camps in strategic areas just for these types of emergencies.

Kentucky has a lot of white conservatives. New Orleans has a lot of black liberals.
