[QUOTE]Originally posted by ColdRain&Snow: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jerome Nicholson: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by RRRICH: [qb] I don't believe this storm is one to bluff off as "too much media hype" -- it was a BIG INTENSE storm in a very heavily-popualted area. Yes, I am sure that the inland locales, far from the coast, probably sustained very little damage. And yes, mid-town Manahattan averages about 50 ft in elevation, but the edges of the island, along two major river systems, had severe storm surge, as well as the Jersey shore. And since so much of the transportation system is underground (including AMTRAK), the underground subway flooding did in fact cause serious problems. But yes, everything will be back to normal in a week or less. (I'm surprised Gov. Romney hasn't blamed Obama for the hurricane and his "lack of being able to help the people who live along the coast instantly," or some other similar silly claim, and surprised he hasn't made this terrible storm a political issue.......... :) ) [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually, "Brownie" (as in heckuva job), said FEMA is reacting too FAST. While Romney calls for FEMA to be broken up among the States and privatized. When some reporters question him on it, he doesn't answer. That's leadership we can count on! :rolleyes: [/qb][/QUOTE]Oh come on now, don't you think you're being a bit rough on Brownie? You act as though being a commissioner for an Arabian horse association doesn't eminently qualify one to be the highest ranking emergency management professional in the United States. Get with the program, man! Helluva guy. Hackuva job. [IMG]http://humor.beecy.net/politics/bushisms/brownie/bush-brownie.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
