He was preparing for elections and the change in politics, the whole storm thing just delays the inevitable, as people see how evil the root of it all is, Government is good in form of control, but it can only do so much to help. Its now each to there own as well as how best we survive this ordeal. We must start over from scratch for the government we have is too uprooted in the fashions of Rothschilds and the global elite, we need reform!

Not true.  The President is supposed to handle Hurricane cleanup immediately.  I was told this on tv.  Obama was supposed to fix it when Bush failed with New Orleans.  Why is he delaying like Bush?

This is NOT part of the Potus' job description unless this whole country is a welfare state (oh, I forgot - it is).

I did/do not like either potus, but I am tired of tossing my tax dollars to people who are too stoooooooopid to listen and prepare.

PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!!!!!

OOPS!  I see another 'entitlement baby' here!

Where is all the money (do some research) - in the corporate pockets, in Israel, pretty much anywhere but the US peoples interests.  Been this way a loooooong time.

Original Message PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Many of you are concerned about Rockaway, and all the coastal areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. As we approach day 3 from the storm, these considerations should be made:
1 - no considerable relief effort is being made for those who chose to wait out the storm. Whether you agree with the decision to stay or not, this means tens of thousands of people now in an area with no real access to food, drinkable water, heat, etc.
2 - effort now needs to be made to deal with immediate needs first, then to move people out of this area to a safe location before things get dire.

Any of you who know the Rockaways well will understand that there is a great economic disparity within a very small area. It would be wonderful to think that everyone will do everything to be helpful and kind to each other, but as of yesterday there was NO efforts being made in the downtown area to provide food/ etc, and there is a recipe for disaster on the burner there.
If you have friends in the area, urge them to take valuable belongings and clothes, and vacate.
If you are thinking of what you can do to help, I wish I knew what to say. The efforts being made in Manhattan do not reflect what is happening in the Rockaways, and the situation is about to transition from the immediate recovery to what the coming long term situation may very well be, which is an area that will have it's major services disconnected, in an effort to force residents to leave. If you feel the need to go and help, either be FULLY prepared to rough it. Not snow-day rough it, wilderness camping rough it. If you need a definition, DO NOT GO. If you have a vehicle and wish to drive, make sure it is 4x4 and that you are an experienced driver. There is no power, no lights.

Supplies to bring and distribute:

water, power bars, granola bars, etc. Think high protein, small space.

Socks, undergarments, baby wipes

Be prepared to drive people out, people you do not know. If they do not want to go, MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THAT THROUGH THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK, TEMPERATURES WILL BE NO HIGHER THAN 50F DURING THE DAY. This means serious risk of hypothermia for those with no capability to full warm and dry themselves.

And remember, there is no gas in NYC at the moment. Do not make the situation worse by becoming another person in need there. Use your head. Call your local representatives, re-post this. The only efforts there right now are grass-roots, and if we all put our energy into keeping those affected safe, we can keep this from becoming a bigger disaster than it already is. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
