Obama fixed it. The End.

Met a friend at a funeral in December of 2012—he’s a contractor in the south.

They went north to help the victims of Sandy and guess what?

They were pretty much TURNED AWAY because they were NOT UNION.

We’ll have FReepers along shortly explaining the feds and state guys (like Obama and Christie) having been working non-stop on the problems but the storm was just too unprecedented to handle without huge increases in taxes!

There must be dozens, if not hundreds, of FReepers who support and defend Obozo and Christie and who agree that what we need are huge tax increases. I just haven't seen them.< /sarc>

but but but crispy cream kissed HUSSEIN’S butt so this wouldn’t happen...........

If you live on Long Island, you live on the water. That’s why they call it an island.

Sematic nonsense.

Living "on the water" is usually defined by elevation and proximity. Most people on LI don't live "on the water".

When I go to the Philippines every year, they get hit by a MINIMUM 6 Typhoons and 3 Super Typhoons wiping out entire villages...

And they rebuild. Every damn year. What’s the excuse for these lazy clowns in NY?

[ScottinVA]

The lazy clowns have had government dependence so heavily indoctrinated in thei brains for so long, they’re unable to muster the imitative to go forward themselves.

thei=their
imitiative=initiative

I suspect the same was true six months BEFORE Sandy - this is the Obama economy, after all.
