   Lalo, I hope you’re right; I fear you’re wrong. Seems like the voter turnout of the poor will be more affected than the wealthy.

   Not only drank the Kool-Aid, whipped up the last batch! Obama was the one who injected politics into a national disaster, while Romney pitched in to bring relief. Keep dreaming and keep drinking.

   If that was Bill Clinton with a cigar it would make sense.

    “President Barack Obama’s proposal for the upcoming budget sequester would cut nearly $900 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, including disaster relief, food and shelter, and flood management at both the federal and state levels.
    
    The cuts, detailed on pages 94 through 96 of the White House’s sequestration proposal, released in mid-September, show how far the Obama administration has been willing to go in order to preserve the idea of tax hikes on “millionaires and billionaires” rather than reaching a comprehensive grand bargain on deficit reduction that does not place additional burdens on the economy or essential services.
    
    As Bob Woodward notes in his definitive account of the debt ceiling negotiations, such a bargain was within reach in July 2011, before President Obama destroyed it.
    
    Obama’s proposed cuts to FEMA include the following:
    
    -Flood Hazard Mapping and Risk Analysis Program – $8 million
    -State and Local Emergency Programs (non-defense) – $183 million
    -State and Local Emergency Programs (defense) – $5 million
    -United States Fire Administration and Training – $4 million
    -Salaries and Expenses (non-defense) – $75 million
    -Salaries and Expenses (defense) – $7 million
    -Disaster Relief – $580 million
    -Emergency Food and Shelter – $10 million
    -Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program – $3 million
    -National Pre-disaster Mitigation Fund – $3 million
    
    These cuts likely underestimate the total cuts proposed to disaster relief functions, since the U.S. armed forces-subject to separate cuts in Obama’s sequester proposals—frequently provide support to FEMA operations, as well as essential search and rescue services.
    
    The White House sequestration proposal also warns: “The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s ability to respond to incidents of terrorism and other catastrophic events would be undermined.”

    @K M

    Yeah, he used a previously planned political rally to pretend to care by collecting donations that the Red Cross said to PLEASE not send be because it hampers actual relief efforts. The whole effect was the same as when Ryan washed previously washed pots at a soup kitchen for a photo op. by the way, where IS the Boy Wonder? Note that the new “moderate MittBot 2.0” isn’t exactly having him make stump speeches in important areas. Heaven help us if this deceitful pair take office.

    Well, isn’t that what the “fiscally responsible” GOP wants to do? You can’t complain about the debt and then turn around and complain when Obama does something g toward cutting it.

    Churchill sez: “Cut government spending, cut spending, cut spending.”

    
    Obama: “If I cut spending, it will decrease needed services.”

    
    Churchill: “Cut spending, cut spending, cut spending.”

    
    Obama: “Ok, I’ll cut spending.”

    
    Churchill: “No-o-o-o-o; it’ll decrease needed services.”
