Sandy another WH punt?

[Gaspar]

"When asked where folks should turn for information if they have no power, a FEMA worker said, "Well, those people who have a laptop with a little battery life on it can try that way."

According to Politico this morning. The White House and FEMA have done nothing to provide information on disaster services beyond providing an internet address for FEMA with limited information.  I guess that's fine if you have power and internet access. What about all of those people with Obamaphones?

The ODS gets exponentially larger the closer to Nov 6th we get.

Good thing Romney is going to disband FEMA since they are so inept.

Good thing Romney is going to disband FEMA since they are so inept.

It seems that the individual state responses are both quicker and far more appropriate. Red Cross is always first on the scene. FEMA is only mildly efficient in distributing funds.

Romney may be on the right track.

An unnamed FEMA worker says something and you pick out that quote?

By the way, the politico story has already dropped that line from the story.

Once again, Gaspar pulls a, well, a Gaspar.

Congratulations Gaspar.  You've proved once again that you are a Gaspar.

Ladies and gentlemen, the 3 o'clock will be exactly the same as the 12 o'clock. 

Heck of a job Brownie.

The lady named Kim Fuller quoted in the story is from Tulsa. She defended Obama and FEMA response.

She is very involved in republican politics and worked for years as a travel event staffer for Dick Cheney when he was vice-president.

She was quoted as a disaster expert and knows what she is talking about.

By the way, the politico story has already dropped that line from the story.

Here is the full quote:
"A call to FEMA's news desk, however, found even they didn't have any non-Internet information readily available beyond suggestions that people call 911 in an emergency. When asked where folks should turn for information if they have no power, a FEMA worker said, "Well, those people who have a laptop with a little battery life on it can try that way. Otherwise, you're right."

I'm just reporting what they are reporting.

Even politico had the sense to take that out of the story.

You didn't care, you wanted to bash Obama and sense wouldn't stand in your way.

He screamed out "Kids!  I found something!"  They rolled their eyes and he scrambled to post it. 

Moments later he left his kitchen table to change his depends.  There was chaffing.

They didn't take it out of the story. It's still there.

WSJ tweet:

White House: Obama travel to New Jersey, and join Gov. Chris Christie in viewing storm damage.

I guess Christie does see Romney as someone in his way for 2016.

I'm going to guess most people living in the path are glad there will be federal help.

Oops

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story inaccurately described a FEMA worker as a spokeswoman for the agency.

[Gaspar]

Oops

I never claimed it was a Spokesperson for the agency now did I? 

[Townsend]

Just the inaccurate story you quoted.

Nothing to see here folks.  Another false alarm. 

Shenanigans.
