What do you expect them to do?
Looks like the Red Cross and a few thousand National Guard troops are already on the scene. The entire state was declared a Federal Disaster Area last week.
Doesn't seem like there's a big risk of life, mostly property. Obama can get out his pen but you're not going to stop a river.
Crazy situation though, at least when Cedar Rapids flooded last year it wasn't 20 freaking degrees!

And yet Bush was to blame for New Orleans.........
He offered help, long before the governor excepted it. But it was all blamed on Bush who made none of the mistakes on the ground, like sending busses to the wrong place. or having the rescue helicopter fly to his residence to get personal items vice rescue people.
Seems like republicans get blamed for the bad, while democrats accept the blame for things gone right.
Example, first 2 months of Obama's presidency stock market loses 1/3 of its value (not his fault) and yet it has a small rebound and Obama is credited by the drive-bys for it.. Total rubish |

You are a funny bastard Nebe 
I just thought it was a contrast to see the Fargo folks working together to protect what they can. New Orleans.... don't listen to the warnings and then blame someone else for the situation. |

Lets mobilize Ray Nagin and his fleet of unmanned buses, I think they are still sitting there. Did anyone check any of the dams, levees and storm drains around Fargo for explosives planted by the Bush Administration? Have we looked into whether the Republicans are actually using snowmakers to increase snowfall and flooding to make Obama's lack of response look worse. Let's go people! |
