Obama... Huh?

There are so many things that the Obama people are doing I can't keep track of them to blog about them... I will try to add them as I remember or see them again.

Here is One.

LIMA, Ohio (AFP) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Sunday he will mobilize his vast donor list to send money or volunteer to help with recovery efforts in response to Hurricane Gustav which is bearing down on the Gulf Coast.
"We can activate an email list of a couple million people who want to give back," Obama told reporters after attending church in Lima, Ohio.

What? Your donors are the best you can do? Is this how you wield power? How does he know that his donor list people want to help out? Perhaps they are all like Fowler and Moore and wish the biggest disaster possible so they can claim God (the guy they don't normally like) is causing Gustav to hurt the Republicans?

You would think that Obama would ask all Americans to prepare to help out where they can... Not just "his" people.

I thought he was a uniter, not a divider...

Will it last?

A very interesting event is happening. Let's watch together ands see if Qualcomm stadium turns into the superdome. I suspect it will not.


"SAN DIEGO (AP) - Like Hurricane Katrina evacuees two years earlier in New Orleans, thousands of people rousted by natural disaster fled to the NFL stadium here, waiting out the calamity and worrying about their homes.
The similarities ended there, as an almost festive atmosphere reigned at Qualcomm Stadium."

I wonder... I guess time will tell.

Katrina.

Unbelievable.

"The Bush administration must immediately resume housing payments for thousands of people displaced by Hurricane Katrina, a federal judge said Wednesday, heaping more criticism on the government's handling of the 2005 disaster.

It is unfortunate, if not incredible, that FEMA and its counsel could not devise a sufficient notice system to spare these beleaguered evacuees the added burden of federal litigation to vindicate their constitutional rights"

constitutional rights??? constitutional rights???? to do what? Live off the Federal Government forever????

I wonder... are people still getting money for Hurricane Andrew? How many trailer parks are out these that are paid by FEMA for people from Hurricanes several years ago????

They will keep sucking....

Two articles on Drudge remind me again about the problems we have with creating a welfare "gimmie" society. First one is about the FEMA trailers.

"Prompted by a WAFB 9 NEWS INVESTIGATION, FEMA said Monday it will replace locks on as many as 118,000 trailers used by victims of hurricanes who are living in trailers provided by the government agency.FEMA says some keys could open as many as 50 different locks. At two FEMA trailer parks in Baton Rouge, our investigation revealed residents who were able to open not only their trailers, but also trailers of other individuals parked only a few spaces away."

But here is the kicker...

"A security guard at a large FEMA trailer park in Louisiana says FEMA has known about the problem for "several weeks" and chose to do nothing about it. "We've been pulling people out of other people's trailers left and right," the guard, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told WAFB 9 NEWS."

First off, how long are we going to let people live in these "FEMA trailer parks"? Forever? Secondly what happens to the people you find in other peoples trailers? Do you kick them out of their trailer? Do you put them in jail, or do you just let them go back to their trailers?

Close the park and guess what? They will all find somewhere to go. They will stay until you do that.

Next article.... Houston gets rewarded for helping out the Katrina Victims.... No good deed goes unpunished.

"Katrina evacuees received fair warning when they arrived in Houston. Days after the storm, Mayor Bill White went on television, flanked by Houston police, and welcomed Katrina's bedraggled survivors with a stern warning that a jail cell was waiting for anyone who crossed the line.
Evacuee Vincent Wilson, a leader of the Katrina Survivors Association, was impressed. He said that in New Orleans before Katrina, "everyone knows that if the jail's crowded you get a slap on the hand and get released."
Eckels predicted the county's worst guests will go home once their federal assistance dries up. And if many choose to stick around, the county will be ready: "We don't put up with it here. If you break the law, you're going to be prosecuted."

I say cut off the assistance.

They will keep sucking....
