[RandomGuy]

....and..cue the straw brigade.

What was funny was the Fox "news" jumping on Obama for doing something.

Taking charge and making sure things got done is "playing politics", because it makes him look presidential.

If Obama had say gone on vacation, they would have slammed him for being out of touch.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.


At least he didn't apppoint a horse show judge to be FEMA director.

I will say this about the Bush administration's fuck ups with Katrina. We learned a lot about what NOT to do.

[ElNono]

It's our grand-children's money he's spending.

Well, don't know about your grand-children, but some of these people really need it. We can argue about superfluous spending all day, this is likely not one of those cases.

stopping campaign + giving governors a direct line + being on top of things = leadership. To be fair, both Christie and Cuomo should get props too.

We've seen poor leadership in natural disasters before, so we definitely know what those look like.

I couldn't care less if he wins or losses the election, but this is one of those times where him (and Christie, whom I also don't particularly agree with, and Cuomo) deserve credit. Not only were they prepared, they acted the way you expect leaders to act.

The ‘I’ of the Storm The dramatic homestretch ad for President Obama, running on every network and in all media markets, is a home run, devastating for Mitt Romney.


And, best of all, the president didn’t have to pay for it, or even say, “I approve this message.” It was a total gift — and from a Republican and top Romney surrogate.

Gov. Chris Christie, the fleece-wearing, order-barking Neptune of the Jersey Shore, was all over TV Tuesday, effusively praising the president for his luminous leadership on Hurricane Sandy, the same president he mocked last week at a Romney rally in Virginia as a naif groping to find “the light switch of leadership.”

As Romney roams the Midwest and Florida struggling to stay relevant, miming coordinating storm response with G.O.P. governors and collecting canned goods to send East, his fair-weather pal Christie failed to give Mittens any disaster relief.
On ABC, CBS and NBC, Christie hailed Obama as “outstanding.” On MSNBC, he said the president “has been all over this,” and on CNN, he called Obama “incredibly supportive.” The big guy even tweeted his thanks to the slender one.

Most astonishing of all, the New Jersey governor went on Fox News and spoke words rarely heard on that network: “I have to give the president great credit.”

“I spoke to the president three times yesterday,” Christie gushed. “He called me for the last time at midnight last night, asking what he could do.”

Christie also extolled FEMA, even though Romney has said it is “immoral” to spend money on federal disaster relief when the deficit is so big.

As always, natural disaster is a Great Economic Stimulus:

For Builders, the Storm Is Good for Business


Bad news for hurricane-ravaged homeowners is good news for at least one contingent: construction companies and the army of workers they plan to hire, many of whom have been idled and ailing from the housing bust for nearly half a decade.


Two days into the destruction from Hurricane Sandy, phones were ringing nonstop at Garden State Public Adjusters in Marlton, N.J., ProStar Residential Disaster Cleanup in Milford, Conn., and other businesses down the Eastern seaboard. Construction crews cannot get into many of the affected areas yet, because of flooded streets, detours and debris. Even so customers are lining up, begging for help to pluck branches out of windows, suck water from basements and living rooms, and rebuild damaged roofs and homes.


It is an exercise many contractors had been through before and needed desperately.


"I always look forward to a natural disaster," said Doug Palmieri, owner of Palmieri Construction in Middlefield, Conn. "The last two storms we had around here, the snow we had included, helped out the contracting business quite a bit."


Construction companies and insurance adjusters that are newer or less known have begun circling waterlogged neighborhoods in their cars and trucks and distributing fliers, handshakes and condolences.


"I drove around with my truck and a couple people stopped me and asked me for a business card," said Mayara Goncalves, owner of Queiroga Construction in Bridgeport, Conn. "Unfortunately for everyone else, it's going to be good for us."


The five-person Queiroga Construction is hoping to get by with longer hours and subcontractors. Many construction companies down the East Coast, though, say they expect to hire, although the magnitude of the work and the number of additional laborers are still to be determined.


"There is going to be so much manpower required, and we are already spread so thin," said Bill O'Connell, president of Elite Public Adjusters, which runs both an insurance adjustment company and a restoration and construction business in North Wildwood, N.J. He expects at least a million dollars of work from this storm. "I'm a little worried about being overwhelmed. The phones are ringing off the hook and we won't be able to get to a lot of people."

Could you point to me where Christie even brought up relativism? The GOP golden boy has every reason to not credit Obama right now and he came out with glowing praise. Anyone with a modicum of a brain will note the significance of that especially in areas where they are bombarded with the typical negative campaigning. i was stunned to hear Christie say that.

that tells me that Christie truly is appreciative to the help that the POTUS has given him to no small degree. It also indicates to me that Christie does have principles beyond GOP stoogehood. it might be a political play but i am tired of being cynical of every action. i will take this for what it is and nothing more.

Mitt Blows it on Sandy: Did the Hurricane Just Cost Him the Election?After Romney’s laughable relief event Tuesday, reporters swarmed him to ask if he still favors sending FEMA funding and responsibility back to the states. From the Romney pool report:

“Gov are you going to eliminate FEMA?” a print pooler shouted, receiving no response.

Wires reporters asked more questions about FEMA that were ignored.

Romney kept coming over near pool to pick up more water. He ignored these questions:

“Gov are you going to see some storm damage?”

“Gov has [New Jersey Gov.] Chris Christie invited you to come survey storm damage?”

“Gov you’ve been asked 14 times, why are you refusing to answer the question?”
Romney won’t answer because he can’t. We saw him pivot to the center, to become the white Barack Obama, in the three debates, as he realized his unpopular policies and his contempt for 47 percent of the country was dooming his presidential bid. He’s got no standing now to talk about how he’d handle this disaster.

The heroes of Sandy, so far, are the first responders, the cops and firefighters and emergency technicians, the folks evacuating patients from hospitals and trapped citizens from flooding.

These are the people who’ve been demonized by Republicans for the last two years: the public workers who have become the new “welfare queens.” When Obama pushed a jobs bill that would have helped states and cities avoid laying off such workers, GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell derided it as a “bailout,” and Paul Ryan, of course, voted against it.

Christie was Mitt's first choice for VP

One of the most tantalizing subplots of the 2012 campaign has been the curious and sometimes controversial performances of New Jersey Gov. Chris (http://www.politico.com/tag/chrischristie)Christie (http://www.politico.com/tag/chrischristie). Now, campaign insiders tell POLITICO that Christie was Mitt Romney’s first choice for the Republican ticket, lending an intriguing new context to the continuing drama around the Garden State governor.

The strong internal push for Christie, and Romney’s initial instinct to pick him as his running mate, reflects how conflicted the nominee remained about choosing a running mate until the very end of the process. At least on the surface, Christie and Paul Ryan (http://www.politico.com/tag/paulryan) are about as opposite as two Republicans could be: a brash outsider from the Northeast versus a bookish insider from the heartland.

Chances are an all powerful all knowing god already knows how stupid his children are.

Typical Christian response...

God does something good = "God loves us!"
God does something bad = "God's testing us, but still loves us!"
Or maybe a stupid question requires a stupid answer?

Assuming "God" is the cause of this, why not point out an alternative?

Go back and look at what I responded to. Too bad a comedic response isn't apparent in text as it is in spoken word.

Maybe I should have used Blue, but I thought it would be more obvious.

[ChumpDumper]

You must have direct experience to be able to tell me that.Wow, you lasted a whole five minutes.

lol "bye"

In context of your body of work, nothing you say is obvious.

Couldn't help but point out your expertise on stalking.

Couldn't help but point out your expertise on stalking.I was looking at my own place, flaglot.

We all have our intended meanings, and they are often misunderstood. Especially when the person reading the text is biased certain ways as to immediately think one way.

greasebag Wall Streeter: do as I say (storm relief, bail out NJ), not as I do (screw my citizens)

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie continues to screw over working people in his state.

Earlier this week – he vetoed legislation to increase the minimum wage to $8.50 an hour.

But, that's not the only way Christie has denied help to the middle class.

He also vetoed two key housing assistance bills, which would have brought much needed relief to struggling homeowners.

One bill would give the state authority to purchase foreclosed homes, and transform them into affordable housing for people who lost their homes in the Bush Great Recession.

The other bill would have provided assistance to unemployed, and underemployed, homeowners to make mortgage payments.

In 2012, New Jersey outpaced every other state in the nation, when it came to homeowners falling behind on their mortgage payments – meaning while the housing situation may be slowly improving around the nation – it's getting worse in New Jersey. And in just one week, Governor Christie has slammed the door on millions of residents in his state, who could have used higher wages, and a little help staying in their homes.
