House Ignores Storm Relief, to Fury of Local Republicans

[DMC]

lol liberals doing damage control for their guy who doesn't give a , and for their legislators who also don't give a .

lol dancing in the streets after re-electing a do-nothing.

Most recent reporting is that Republicans are all smiles now since Boehner promised that they will approve $9M on Friday and consider another $51M on January 15.

The fact that a new congress will be in session on Friday, meaning that the House bill will HAVE to go back to the Senate now for approval, even though the Senate had already approved a bill for relief, doesn't seem to bother them as much.

Boehner has really been having a tough time lately.

Sorry. the dollar denomination is wrong. it will be $9B on Friday and $51B by January 15th.

He really thought he had a zinger since he edited his post.

If I did you'd try to suck the creme filling out of it before putting your mouth over it.

"Obama also promised community leaders he will intervene to remove any logjams holding up federal assistance."

""We're going to not tolerate any red tape. We're not going to tolerate any bureaucracy. We're going to make sure that we get the help to you as quickly as we can," -Obama

Ok, you can take off your blinders now.

Face it, your guy basically told NY to off and die after he was elected.

Your straw argument gets worse when you repeat it.

So he never promised to cut legislative red tape. Thanks

You're confused too. I don't like Barry any more than you do.

[DMC]

No one but you mentioned cutting any tape.

[ElNono]

No one but you mentioned cutting any tape.

It should be to the fury of the POTUS, who stood there and made promises that no political red tape would get in the way of relief. Ah but that was before the erection... err.. yeah

[DMC]

So I didn't mention cutting red tape: Thanks!

[spursncowboys]

House Repubs are a bunch of clowns. They ok 40:1 spending to cuts but put their foot down on this?

Is it me or is he throwing an inordinate amount of erotic imagery your way nowadays?

[Jacob1983]

Why don't some of these celebs that are ing about guns fork out some cash for these poor unfortunate souls? Yes, I know there was that charity concert back in December but that wasn't enough. I want to see Jeremy Renner, Rashida Jones, and Chris Rock donating some millions to these poor folks in NJ and NY.

1) The fed is the insurer against floods for most that have such policies.

Then they have a policy to claim against.

2) Homes were not the only thing damaged.

True, but why is it the feds responsibility?

[ChumpDumper]

Is it me or is he throwing an inordinate amount of erotic imagery your way nowadays?

Not just him.

Then they have a policy to claim against.

Duh.

True, but why is it the feds responsibility?

Why not?

[CuckingFunt]

If I did you'd try to suck the creme filling out of it before putting your mouth over it.

I... I don't think it works that way...

With Millions Still Waiting For Sandy Relief, Republicans Reintroduce Obamacare Repeal

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) isn’t too concerned about finishing what Republicans had left undone. Instead, at 12:00 PM she introduced the very first piece of legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which states are now busily implementing.

House Republicans have unsuccessfully voted 33 times in the last two years to eliminate health care reform and wasted at least 88 hours and $50 million, while failing to pass a single piece of job creation legislation in the last session of Congress.

Will Boner bring it to a vote?

Fox Knows Who's To Blame For Boehner's Delay Of Sandy Relief Bill: Obama

On Fox & Friends on Thursday, co-host Steve Doocy led a segment about Sandy relief by noting that Obama is on vacation in Hawaii and added, "Meanwhile ... there are tens of thousands of people whose houses were destroyed by Sandy." Doocy continued, "And it's interesting -- you go back 60 days, the president of the United States was out at a big photo op with Chris Christie, saying, 'I'm going to eliminate the red tape. I'm going to make sure that FEMA follows through.' And now 60 days later, nothing."
