It looks like these people could use a community organizer! /s
He used up all the FEMA money passing out debit cards for cathouses, five star hotel rooms and big screen teeveees after Katrina. < / sarcasm >
Obama’s Revenge.............Unless you’re one of ‘Holder’s people’....................
I believe FEMA should be eliminated. But while it exists, it ought to exist for everyone equally - including bitter, gun-clinging crackers!
Surely you’re not just coming to this revelation.
Actually, it’s a lot more than just “doesn’t care about”,
it’s hate.
Constitutional or not, it exists and should be doing the job it is funded for, not being a political payback agency....................
The Obama Administration is using its power to reward its friends and punish its enemies. Opponents of the Obama Administration beware.
Obama is both bumbling and arrogant.
Was just having this same conversation with a friend.
When you use the words, “typical white people” you’re positively a racist.
The man hates Caucasians.

In a case like this where you have lost everything, even a higher insurance policy that covers rebuilding costs plus contents won't pay for everything - I understand helping these folks out and am curious how FEMA decides who/where to pay. This sure sounds like they are choosing friendly areas of the country to "reward"
I'm sure this will get wide play all over the MSM. [not]
Agreed there. IMHO the only time FEMA should step in is where insurance refuses to pay or in large-scale flooding events, in areas where people don’t have flood insurance, and that could even be done at a state level.
Remember the attacks on FEMA and the Bush Administration after Katrina? Anyone know how many billions of dollars were spent on FEMA relief to New Orleans?
I don’t know why anyone trusts this Administration.
Carry insurance, and know the the Fedgov will not help you.
I was just re-pharasing the Comment of Kanye.....And Don’t call me Shirley! LOL
FEMA has been on close watch since the 2004 hurricanes that devastated Florida and Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf in 2005, when the General Accounting office accused it of squandering millions of dollars awarding emergency grants to unqualified home owners.
Claire B. Rubin, a disaster researcher and consultant in the Washington, D.C., area, explained: 'In Katrina they lost so much money because they were not careful about payout," Rubin said. The GAO hit them hard.'

Funny how certain trigger issues can turn a flag-waving, Constitution-hugging FReeper into an instant government-dependent skittle moocher.
The question is, does the Constitution allow the Federal government to provide tax dollars for disaster relief?
As uncompassionate as this sounds, it would be better for folks to go about this the way our great grandparents did: good churches and good neighbors jumping in to help.
“They need to call the New Oreleans police. They know how to help...themselves...”
Yes that is the Democrat way,Loot and steal.
God needs to do us all a favor and send an F5 tornado barreling through FEMA until it no longer exists.
This is a standard Government tactic across the board - FEMA, SS Disability, etc etc.... Deny the first claim no matter what to AVOID PAYING OUT MONEY as long as possible.
