[Outraged At FLA]

It IS NOT a disaster. We are taking an area almost half the size of the country and tallying up every incident like it happened in one place. C’mon, don’t fall for the media spin on this. Ridiculous. It isn’t the end of the world, garbage will be picked up on Mondays as always; go back to your life and leave chicken little behind.

It is not a disaster? Did you miss the fact that the entire Jersey Shore got flooded? And much of NYC and Long Island? Do you understand the tens of billions of dollars in damages that the flooding represents?

Usually Freepers incorporate facts into their opinions. It appears you are an exception.

Let’s see...a levee on the Hackensack River broke and flooded a community...Christie reports that EVERY rail line in New Jersey was damaged...extensive damage on the Jersey Shore and in Atlantic City...people on rooftops, waiting to be rescued...

I’d say that to Christie, right now, in his role as Governor of the state, it IS a crisis, much more immediate to him right now in that role than Presidential politics. Believe me, knowing how petty and petulant (and vengeful) our community organizer-in-chief can be, I really can’t blame him for throwing Obummer a bone right now, just to be sure that New Jersey gets the help they need.
