Donna Vanzant struggled through flooded streets and downed power lines two days after superstorm Sandy to reach the ravaged marina she owns in Brigantine. …

Vanzant has been moved by the many kindnesses she received from friends, family and customers. She heard from countless people after the photograph of her hug with the president was published, including from strangers as far away as Vietnam who wished her well.

She said she was honored to meet Obama, but she is also frustrated that she has yet to receive help from either her insurance companies or the government. “The president told me I would get immediate help,” she said.

“Another broken promise.”

Another photo op for the LIAR in chief. I hope she feels like the prostitute she was used as.

Beware those aid cards and checks - they’re coming back NOW (over 7 years later) after Katrina recipients claiming they were actually loans and need to be repaid. You can appeal, if you still have the ‘right’ records.

You were used by Obama and tossed aside like a Starbucks coffee stirrer, Donna. That's all you are to him. Get used to it.

Too bad you didn't ask The Preezy for a free ObamaPhone, Donna. You would have gotten one of those right away!

Still out in the cold? After a month? Don’t worry little lady, Winter will be over in just about 4 months. Then it will get warmer.

Hey Donna Vanzant, I bet you were one of those 2008 0 bummer voters who fainted when you saw the won. Well, I don’t care if your place ever gets repaired. I and many other makers are sick and tired of you takers wanting to have US producers fix YOUR problems. Go find a sugar daddy to get your place fixed.

You and your ilk elected the dumbest person to walk into any room. Hope you have an o bummer phone and call someone who cares, because my “I care” meter broke after you and fellow dummies reelected the idiot. Your best bet would be to get a rope and tie it to the supports of a bridge and jump. 0 bummer will be there to help you just as much as he is now.

I’ve worked for over 40 years and paid taxes the entire time. You have probably been laying on your back popping out welfare babies that I AM PAYING for and I detest your lifestyles. Other parts of my comments are self censored for fear of being banned.

Face it, it was nothing but a campaign stop, with Chris Christie as the star struck guest speaker.
