It is horrific what happens in any disaster. There is one question I have to anyone who knows the answer. I know FEMA will help clean up, but for the people that lost their homes etc. and do not have tornado/hurricane insurance still get a new place to live? Or do they just lose and start over if they can?

Genius'...

Was New Orleans handled well under Bush? Did they not vote for Bush or was it because of racism that they weren't helped immediately?

That was handled so well, wasn't it? Let me see did someone say that Obama based his help on who voted for him? Well does that mean that New Orleans didn't vote for Bush or that it has too many people of color to help?

Delaware took a full head on hit...but I haven't seen the media there (must not be enough Obama supporters there).
You would think that no other city in the history of this nation has ever suffered a natural disaster...NYC...GET OVER YOURSELVES!
ummm "money making manhattan" .... enough said. Jersey && Delaware is nothing but the size of what your looking at in these flicks, they can bounce back once New York City does. We basically run ish on this side of the map. Without us Jersey wouldn't be && Delaware clearly isn't without Jersey. So Shut The Hell Up !
