According to the Washington Post<\/a>, “Obama campaigned four years ago on a promise to revamp the federal government\u2019s disaster response functions…” and has already signed off on 9 declarations of emergency in the north east before the Hurricane Sally has even hit the shore…<\/p>\n

You know what I’m reminded of?\u00a0 When Nashville had a 1000 year flood event<\/a>, was pretty much under water (and was literally about a inch away from losing all clean drinking water), and Obama waited until 2 days *after* it stopped raining to sign off on a state of emergency declaration.\u00a0 At that point, we had pretty much already given up on the feds and started trying to pick ourselves up.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s the region of the country?\u00a0 Maybe it’s because it’s an election year?\u00a0 Maybe it’s because we didn’t wait for a hand out before trying to salvage what we could?<\/p>\n
