When President Obama hugged a tearful New Jersey business owner after Hurricane Sandy ravaged her home and livelihood, it was the image of compassion, promise and hope.
But the victim in the photo, Donna Vanzant, has now revealed that the president's promises to pour aid into the area were empty - and that, after the hug, she merely received a form letter from him. Obama visited the destroyed marina Ms Vanzant owns in Brigantine, New Jersey on October 31 and promised her 'immediate' aid. Soon after, Ms Vanzant wrote him an email.

I bet she voted for him, too. Surprise!
A succinct illustration of the President Obama method and results.
That’s pretty much Barky’s job as he sees it. Making empty promises with your money.
Take notice that this is not being reported in the American press, which blamed the Republican Congress and specifically John Boehner.
Obama’s Katrina!

“It really belongs to me anyway” -Obama.
Obama is essentially sayin’:
“When I was in New Jersey, I said what you wanted to hear in order to get your vote and my photo op - NOW BUZZ OFF !!!”
He said, Sure, Doll, I’ll respect ye in the mornin’.
Some people need to learn the difference between “help” and a “photo op”. Barry went there for a much needed pre-election photo op.
What did she think Obama was going to do for her?
There is nothing that Obama does personally anymore except appear at disasters and take vacations.

I dunno, go weld on some underwater twisted beams and screw down some new decking and re-roof her marina and fix her ice machine?
give him a break - he has other, more omportant places to put our money - illegally, too boot

Yes, I have no sympathy for those that participated in letting Obama look presidential and American. Maybe Donna knows how the rest of us felt when she was used as a tool...
To idiots, maybe, or possibly people who were in a coma for the last four years.
