Should Obama limit the relief given to Georgia (and by that I mean access to cash and loans, but requiring repayment or return of other federal funds at some point) it would be a HUGE step in the right direction.

With Obama in office, it creates a unique (at least to this point) opportunity for a government official to do the right thing, especially in re "the poor", which has been incorrectly characterized as "black people"... because he can require repayment of some type (at least by the state, generally through taxes which ultimately comes from rich people, not poor people) without fear of being labeled as a racist.

It'd be a good opportunity... though I doubt he'll take it.

At some point, SOMEONE is going to have to say NO.

I understand you point..but..They have NO incentive to say no. These blood suckers mere existence depends on their ability to steal as much as they can and redistribute it to others in exchange for votes.

I think the SOMEONE that you are talking about is eventually going to YOU and I. We are the ones that are going to have to just STOP funding this beast of a federal government that does very little but redistribute income to middle class bureaucrats. The tipping point is inching closer with each passing day.

Venezuela has sent aid with Katrina and Chavez sent money or oil when heating costs were high in the northeast. His own people had to eat cake, but that's no matter to him when he can grandstand.

The US does not need foreign aid. What is needs is to bring back much of what it sends as foreign aid and wasted stolen wages in the form of unneeded meddling around the world.. and put that money BACK in the pockets of those that they stole it from.

Hum, I thought the federal government had all kinds of money to spend on any handouts they desired.

There is another metal roller coaster next to it called the "Ninja" that has multiple loops and corkscrews. It had floodwater in its electrical substation.

The Ninja sucked anyways, at least from what I have been told by just about everyone I know who went on it. I didn't even bother the last time I was there. The lines were basically non-existent, which should tell you something.

Yeah, I didn't much care for the Ninja either, but the the Scream Machine had to be taken down, that would suck in the purest way serene. It is an icon of my childhood. On the bright side, I got my youngest on it for the first time this summer.

This is the 10th anniversary of the worst flood NC has ever had during Hurricane Floyd.

I had several calls from govt. bureaucrats after the disaster wanting to "make sure that I had no flood damage and that I filed a claim in time with FEMA."
My home never flooded. I asked one of the bureaucrats..."We did have water under the house for a day...does that count?" The response floored me..."Yes..by all means..You need to file a claim...We have lots of money available to give out." Of course I declined to do so.

Look out for much of the same stuff to happen this time. Lots of people will become welfare queens on this flood...just like they did in NC 10 years ago. I had friends in Greenville under 15 feet of water that needed help and it took 8 to 12 months for FEMA to help them....Yet these damn bureaucrats took to the phones and attempted to secure their jobs by literally getting people to lie about claims. Government bureaucrats at their finest.03-puke

How 'bout we compromise, and only lend aide to those countries that vote with us in the UN. That ought to clear the room in a hurry.

I still say he should go on a Jihadi Suicide Bombing Mission so he can get some first hand data on just how a group blows them selves and everyone around them to chunky pieces of goo.

That would he the greatest service this POTUS could ever perform and I would respect him immensely for his sacrifice.
