[quote=geeoro;26728327]During the Nashville Flood, President Obama worked closely with Gov. Phil Bredesen.
President Obama declared a major disaster exists in the State of Tennessee and ordered Federal aid to supplement State and local recovery efforts in the area affected by the April 30 storms.....With grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.
Tennessee's governor praised the administration's response[/QUOTw

Wrong answer!

Opinion: After the Nashville Flood, Where Is President Obama?

Newsweek Offers Offensive Explanation For Why Media Ignored Nashville Flood | NewsBusters.org

Again, I have extended family there and they said the response from Obama was late and pathetic.

WOW.............. So Congress REFUSING to co-operate with anything that President Obama put forward is Obama's fault???????????????
A PACT being formed by Republican's to block everything that our President proposed is Obama's fault?
The "Circus" created by Congress over the debt ceiling was Obama's fault?
Congress having the lowest approval rating ever is Obama's fault?
Republican's decided to try to get President Obama out of office after his first term by complete partisanship is one reason that the economic recoveryis slower than it should be and why we were downgraded by S&P...............Now those are FACTS.

Looking at the response from the overtly partisan comments coming from the Right around the Internet, I think some on the Right are very concerned about Obama's response swaying the election. I don't think it will impact it much, but the fear is very observable from the outside. Heck, some of the most outrageous threads I've ever seen on this site have popped up in the last 24 hours.

A subconscious motivation scheme by Obama to make it political! He needs the votes! So, he makes his actions to look presidential now in a natural disaster, which he didn't portray in his 1st Presidential debate! He's trying to makeup for lost time and votes! He's desperate and will now do anything to make himself look good in front of the camera just "to look Presidential"!

Why not? Applying the same logic, the Dem Congress opposing Bush must have been Bush's fault. He was not a leader, so they didn't follow. Isn't that the argument here?

Romney flipped his position on FEMA a few days ago. Anyone surprised?

This is why I adore Christie, the "no spin zone" governor.

These are the kinds of Republicans we like to vote for here in Oregon too. These are the people who actually do their job instead of being obstructionists like a majority of the party is these days.
