OBAMA is to my knowledge the first President to politicize disaster relief.

Help us out by listing the others who preceded him. Surely you can help out since you have the superior knowledge about these things. |

Well at least we can rely on our neighbors to come help.
People and equipment from 43 states and the Virgin Islands are helping us in Texas.
If it's not plastered all over the MSM on the front page then it's not "an item" in many people's minds.
Some really have no idea just how bad it is here in Texas. One spark and 400-500 acres go up in flames.
A big THANKS to all those states.

Looks like the Feds did help, by starting one of the fires.
The fight between Texas and Washington, D.C., over wildfires in the Lone Star State just got nastier.
A county official in the Texas Panhandle is now blaming a federal agency for starting one of the fires through carelessness.
Tom Edwards, the county attorney in rural Motley County east of Lubbock, said on Friday that the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives was responsible on Tuesday for sparking a fire that consumed 150 acres.
“You can quote me on it: That bunch has a real corner on stupid,” Edwards told Reuters.

Oh man..the Feds blew up explosives with strong winds and dry grass ?
And burn bans in effect as well ?
That guy Edwards is spot on. |
