Storm-ravaged New Yorkers say President Obama’s promise to cut red tape and get them aid in the aftermath of Sandy has proven to be hot air.
Angry citizens vented at FEMA officials at a town hall meeting held by the disaster relief agency Thursday, with tempers boiling over. Some 1,000 people, many left homeless by the Oct. 29 storm, attended the meeting at Staten Island’s New Dorp High School. They were initially scheduled to submit written questions that would be picked and answered at random, but the session turned into an angry shouting match where residents booed FEMA officials and accused them of lying.
"I told the president … that FEMA was giving us the royal finger. And he said, ‘FEMA works for me.’”
- Scott McGrath, Staten Islander left homeless by superstorm Sandy.
“We are the people – we are the middle class, and we are getting the finger,” said frustrated resident Scott McGrath, who personally spoke to President Obama and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo when they came to Staten Island to inspect storm damage earlier this month. “You were there when I met Obama, and I told the president … that the middle class was getting the royal finger. And he said, ‘FEMA works for me.’”
“FEMA ain’t doing nothing,” McGrath added. “They keep going around in circles.”
These people are coming forward and pointing their fingers at Obama for failing to keep his word to get help to them ASAP.
Remember all the bitching and moaning by the Left after Katrina? Anyone hear them peeping at all now? Is the Lame Stream Leftist Media getting this out there so pressure is put on The Great One to do his job? Huh?
"Oh Happy Day" indeed.
