The crap form the sky has not even finished falling and your trying to pin something on Obama and FEMA? This is nothing but an obvious ploy to try to make the Admin. look bad. Don't be so transparent.

FEMA doesn't show up with blankets and water.
They show up with forms for low cost government loans.
They are not out hunting through the rubble; they rent offices in town with 9-5 working hours.
FEMA is after the fact..recovery and rebuilding.

That's why I called them the "government clipboard guys".

Maybe it's because they don't understand what FEMA does.
FEMA are not first responders.

Seriously the OP must be a liberal or at least stealing from Rahm's playbook

Obviously, you have no idea of the role of FEMA but here you are ~ attempting to inject partisan barbs into the tragedy of OK.

It is so tiresome; it really is.

Yep, pretty tasteless.

I just hope the Oklahomans get assistance from all sources as soon as possible.

I agree that it is in poor taste, but so is the leftists crying "global warming" not 24 hours after many people were killed.

If you are upset at politicization of a tragedy - good - but be consistent and tell the partisan hacks on your side of the aisle to tone down the rhetoric as well.

I agree with you. I guess this is what happens when we cherry pick data and anecdotes. It is not different than the scandal mongering gotcha moments. Both are intellectually dishonest and opportunistic. Truth exists in there somewhere, but it is hard to find.

Vis a vis climate change. I would like to look at a statistical analysis of storm severity over time. Extreme events have occurred for my whole life. We used to just call them disasters, and show support and compassion. Now, like everything else, they are anecdotes for our agendas.
