Where is FEMA? Why hasn't Obama visited the Region? He has time to sit down with NBC to do an interview about the Super Bowl, but can't get down to where one million people don't have power during freezing cold? The storm ended five days ago, for goodness sake. Maybe The One can talk about the storm while he hosts a Super Bowl party at 1600 Pennsylvania. I'm pretty sure we know where the thermostat will be set.
Local officials grew angrier at what they said was a lack of help from the state and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
In Kentucky's Grayson County, about 80 miles southwest of Louisville, Emergency Management Director Randell Smith said the 25 National Guardsmen who have responded have no chain saws to clear fallen trees. He said roads are littered with fallen trees and people shivering in bone-chilling cold are in need.
We've got people out in some areas we haven't even visited yet," Smith said. "We don't even know that they're alive."
Smith said FEMA was still a no-show days after the storm.
"I'm not saying we can't handle it," Smith said. "We're handling it. But it sure would have made life a lot easier."
Is the mantra going to be "Obama dozed, People froze"? Why haven't we seen the MSM descending into Kentucky for those "man in the street" reports?
Why does Obama hate Kentucky so much?
+++UPDATE+++
As usual, the guys at Powerline do a much better job explaining this than I can:
A basic reality of our time is that our mass media are monolithic, and what they choose to report (or not report) depends on what fits the narrative they are pushing on the public. If our reporters and editors wanted to portray Obama as clueless and out of touch with ordinary Americans, he has given them ample opportunity to do so. But because they are Democrats and he is a Democrat, they have no desire to tell that story. So "let them eat steak" is not a theme you'll be seeing on the evening news.
