Obama dozed, people froze
 
Could the Obama admin get any more inept? Under Bush, FEMA had
trailers outside NO within 48 hours after Katrina hit yet 5 DAYS after
the ice storm in KY they have done nothing. So far 40-some people
have died while Obama is busy trying to stuff his cronies pockets with
"Stimulus".

Not enough electoral votes.

Ky doesn't need trailers. They need restoration of power. People are
also more self reliant in KY.

Thats as bad as the Power Company in Michigan, I think it was, that
cut off the power of a WW II Veteran over a confusion in a late
payment. The man had no trouble paying the bill, they think he forgot

Are you really as stupid as this post as yours? If there is ineptness,
it is on the part of the probably privately owned power companies
serving Kentucky. Despite their gouging their customers for years, they
obviously have not spent enough on training and equipment to meet the
needs of their customers in case of weather emergencies. It's just
another private sector failure.

Harry, your reply is just as stupid IMO. Kentucky isn't exactly an area
that
experiences regular winter ice storms like those of this winter.
The power companies rely on mutual assistance from other states for this
type
of aberation.

Well, then, you certainly cannot rely on privately owned power
companies, can you? Or publicly owned power companies, either. In fact,
these days, you cannot rely on much of anything.

Two points:

One: If FEMA is not in Kentucky, after this long, it is because the
Governor of Kentucky has not requested Federal aid in witting. Its a
states rights issue. It is possible that unlike other areas of the
country that can not blow their noses without federal assistance,
Kentucky is prepared to do it themselves.

Two: If you were not lost in your virtual world, or would get away from
the coastal cities, you would know there are power company crews from
all over the country working to restore power in the area. There are
national agreements between the power companies to provide assistance in
this type of situation. I have been through several hurricanes,
tornadoes, and ice storm, each time these outside crews are there
working beside with the crews from the local company.

If you drive the interstates during these times you would see, convoy
after convoy of power trucks going to and from the area of the disaster.
I am surprised at the distance they come, some times several hundreds
of miles to respond.

Oh come now, Krause. Of course the poor soul froze on Obamas watch.
And when will you're you president at least make a fly over?

All your stupid candor and how you arrogantly blamed Bush for every
one of your possible woes, shall now come back to haunt you.

A case of the hunter becoming the hunted, but I'm sure your
comprehension level cant understand that..

But do carry on. You're fashion is quit laughable.

How come 2 million blacks were able to converge on DC in a single day with
below freezing temperatures, yet a few hundred thousand could not manage to
leave New Orleans with a 4 day notice with 90 deg temperatures?
