Dem lawmaker bashes Obama for response to Ohio tornado damage
The Hill - Michael O'Brien
A veteran Democratic lawmaker bashed President Barack Obama for being "noncommittal" in extending disaster relief to tornado-stricken northwest Ohio.
Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had been a disappointment in its decision to deny aid to areas hurt by tornadoes in early June.
"They've disappointed us in Katrina, they've disappointed us here, they disappointed us so many places in our country," Kaptur told a local ABC affiliate in Toledo.
She jabbed Obama in particular for having seemingly brushed off her and other Ohio lawmakers' requests for FEMA's help to deal with the fallout from the tornadoes, which destroyed a number of high schools across two congressional districts, including a major high school.
"He was very noncommittal," Kaptur said of her plea to Obama. "And I said, 'Mr. President, we need quick action here. We need your help.' "
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland (D), Sens. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Rep. Bob Latta (R-Ohio), whose district was also severely affected by the tornadoes, have also worked to appeal the FEMA decision in a letter to Obama.
Tornadoes in Ohio.
Flooding in Tennessee and North Dakota
Gulf coast oil leak.
all these disasters receive little or no response from obama.
not one state that has asked for help from this pos has gotten it.
His contempt for the people of this country and their way of life is staggering.
So just who is it that gets a QUICK response from this worthless traitor when natural disasters hit?
uh...that would be Haiti.
