Wow...just wow. This guy has cojones the size of basketballs, considering his botched response to Katrina.

..and, yes, I read the entiore article, and, yes, he was comparing it to the response on the attacks on Bengazi.

I stand by the Cojones remark.

Default We Have No Power.......or Leader

Well, I guess the Sandy victims can always do this, this is brilliant and spoken like a true Harvard graduate.........
Good Grief: Obama & FEMA Tell Super-Storm Victims to Check Internet for Hurricane Sandy Updates… But, They Have No Electricity « Frugal Café Blog Zone

“Honey, President Obama says to check out the Internet for hurricane information.”
“But we have no power!”
“Then turn on the TV.”
“Again, NO POWER!”

Chicago Tribune puts those without electricity as a result of Hurricane Sandy at 7.5 million. While the numbers vary depending on the news source, one thing is for certain: millions who need the federal government’s information the most have no electrical power and cannot access the Internet. Then, there are an untold number of people who do not even own computers, not to mention affected Internet service providers that have no power in order to provide Internet service.
FEMA reportedly does not have any non-Internet sources for citizens to get information.
Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up.

i hate to dwell on the past but so many of you obama leg-humpers are wrong about this.
FYI... during Katrina, FEMA can NOT step in until the state(s)s asks for assistance. the Gov of LA didnt ask for help for days.

I went back and re-read it.

Yes, my version is the case.

It was Brown's rhetorical statement regarding O's quick response on this crisis in reference to the other crisis.

Shame on O for letting the first crisis go to waste. How un-Marxist

Everyone in my area has no phone service, no power, no tv, but have mobile internet.

That is how everyone here in NJ and NYC are staying in contact.

There are rescues being made based on Facebook posts because people have no phone or power.

Right now I have no cell service, and power only at work. But I have mobile internet, and have since the storm hit. Ask people in the affected areas and they'll say the same.

We had this failed thread yesterday. Many people in the area who have lost power, have stayed in contact through internet updates via cellphone. In fact rescue attempts, etc were coordinated through facebook, twitter, etc via cell phone connections to the internet.
