Obamas addressing Joplin tornado victims .

[Cowboy]

Just curious if anyone caught his speech of empty promises again . They showed it on my local news this morning followed by a video from the town in Alabama that was wiped out a month ago . I dont think they took it to kindly because they still have received no help from Fema or the federal government . They are still all living in a temporary shelter that is set to be closed down next week .


Not only that but it sounded more like a campaign speech to gain more votes then someone that was really affected by the destruction and he acted like he really couldn't care less IMHO . But then again I'm probably just picking on him because I'm a rascist .

At least you had some initial respect to lose, so you're probably a better person that I am.

It seems that tornado victims aren't the only ones fuming at Obama's response-in-show only; the following excerpt is from World Socialist Web Site:

Comparing his visit to the Missouri city with his trip last month to Alabama, Obama said, “When we were in Tuscaloosa a few weeks ago, I talked about how I hadn’t seen devastation like that in my lifetime,” he said before the memorial service Sunday. “When you come here to Joplin, and it is just as heartbreaking, and in some ways more devastating,” he added. “Obviously, it is going to take years to build back.”

Neither the press nor the local politicians questioned this timeline, which is clearly based on a perspective of limited, even negligible, outside assistance. While Obama purports to take a less callous approach, such remarks confirm that the Democrats, like the Republicans, are committed to leaving the people of Joplin in the lurch.

Only a few hours after Obama’s appearance in Joplin, ABC News broadcast a report on the conditions in Tuscaloosa, one month after the tornado hit the city. Huge piles of debris still litter the city, where nearly 7,000 homes were destroyed on April 27.

Shirley Billingsley, 69, said her family worry they’ll have to sleep outside their wrecked home while they wait for emergency aid. “Obama came in and he said, ‘We’re gonna help everybody’,” she told ABC. “That’s a lie! Tell him Shirley said it, and she lives in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.”​

You know that the comparisons to Katrina are warranted when Obama starts angering socialists.
