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.

He probably thought that he was in Benghazi.

Waste of time....that hug helped get Obama elected so for him it was not a waste of time....for her...well what did she expect? He doesn’t need her any more and he has important things like a round of golf to attend to after all he is the President.

Her first mistake was to believe ANYTHING out of Obama’s mouth.

Is anybody surprised? The election is over, and the photo-op has served its purpose.

Let the b*******s freeze in the dark.

Man, that Bronco Bama is COLD....

And yet millions of "Ameicans" still can't see that Hussein is full of sh-t.

Didn't they explain "redistribution" to you? The first thing you have to do is get over the idea that anything is "yours", including your "time".

Let the most densely populated area of the nation feel the weight of their own liberalism. Obama’s safely re-elected now. He no longer needs them.

“Is this really surprising?”

Considering the utter silence of all (still living) witnesses in Benghazi, my question is, why was this allowed to be reported?

Immediate

1.Occurring or done at once; instant.
2.Relating to or existing at the present time: "his immediate priority".

What Donna doesn't understand is that the Bamster believes if he says it then it miracously happens without any further ado.

You see Donna according to Jamie Foxx Barrack Obama is your lord and saviour so count your blessings and move on.

I know there are people there who voted for Romney. I wish they didn’t have to go through this. But I have no pity for the liberals.

Cuomo is getting $27 million to hire Sandy victims to clean up. How much is Christie getting?

“...to reach the ravaged marina she owns in Brigantine.”

I’m guessing that once Obama realized she was a “one percenter” he quit answering her phone calls.
