Actually none were against the direct aid part ($17 billion). The debate was over the $33 billion of pork attached to it and it was attached because some in Congress feared it would not have passed if it weren't attached.
Attaching pork to direct disaster aid was a political move and both sides got their piece of the pie.
The pork attached to that bill was sickening.
Turning around and blaming the guy that objected to all that pork is pretty disgusting too.
Why not blame the guys that attached the pork and caused the delays because of it?
Right..no audit trail = no blame.
That is now becoming the norm..no one knows who inserts clauses and amendments into these bills anymore. They just seem to "magically appear" and no one in Congress is aware of them when asked by journalists once the bill is put on the net.
The last one I recall was some bill that gave Monsanto some sweeping powers over their mutant seeds.
See, Congress can be 100% bipartisan and work together when they so choose to.
Spending OPBs in the common link between both parties.
The President has spoken and pledged all possible support, but where is it? The Red Cross, The Salvation Army and teams sent from neighboring states are on the scene working, but FEMA is conspicuous by it's absence. Only talk Mr. President? If Oklahoma was a swing state would it be different?
They are still finishing up the red tape to give financial aid for Titanic survivors.
"The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced Monday that it was, at the direction of President Barack Obama, already providing resouces and support to the victims of a massive, mile-wide tornado that blasted through Oklahoma City suburbs killing at least 51 people. "
No! No! No! That's not the right spirit to channel for the coon hound crowd that hangs out here. Try some mournful baying about that awful black man and how the progressives are going to make sure that Dixie and like-minded states outside of it are going to be made to endure eternal unfairness forever. Or at least for the next 3 1/2 years. Whichever comes first.
Liberals would vote for anything if there are victims involved. Oh there's an extra hundred billion tacked on for arms shipments to AQ. Ah who cares we have to help the victims!
AQ?
Time to use Google to ask Wikipedia for help:

Yeah, yeah - get to the definitions already:

AQ, Aq, aQ, or aq may stand for or refer to:

American Samoa, the DAFIF 0413 / DIA 65-18 / FIPS PUB 10-4
Antarctica, ISO 3166-1 country code
L'Aquila, a province of Italy
Aq, alternate name of Ak, Buin Zahra, a village in Iran
That's IT! The Republicans want us to bomb ANTARCTICA in retaliation for global warming!
I bet even Rand Paul could warm up to that one, and agree that the black guy in the white house can send out drones - to Antartica only, though! Plus, if there's one thing a liberal likes better than "victims," it's global warming! They REALLY will be in favor of bombing Antartica, too. Everyone in agreement at last. Bi-partisanship, NOT Bi-marriage. Why, I do believe I hear the black congregation at the Baptist Church across the way are singing "Kum by Ya" (or however you spell that stupid song).
America, let your coon hounds run free and your semi-automatic arsenals remain festooned with thousands of garlands of 100 plus rounds of ammo. We are One-Nation-Indivisible again. At least until the next Hispanic guy wanders by.

Reason: Ayn Rand; Paul Rand; Rand Paul - whoever. You know. The guy from the place I'm now ashamed to call my home state.
It's the never ending tripe like this that turns the average person off. Obamaphobes will make up any ridiculous accusation at the drop of a hat.
Obama has authorized FEMA to respond to a terrible tragedy, just like any President would. (including GWB) It is simple to do a quick google search to see the falsehood of the original post.
There is so much noise (accusations that Obama is a nazi, communist, muslim, black supremacist christian, racist, reverse racist, yada, yada, yada) that no one could hear the signal even if it were there. Many of you should re-visit a story from your childhood about the boy who cried wolf.

The people that are there seem to be handling it fine.
