Tornado Slams Oklahoma City Area

I agree. You didn't start the political crap though. :?

 

Not that I want this thread to be about politics...because I don't. This is just a quick response to your question....http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/USA-Up...-speedy-aid-prayers-as-wrangling-begins-video. I'm also not a fan of the link I quickly gave you. Just sayin'.

Now maybe we can concentrate on the victims of this horrible natural disaster and keep them in our thoughts.

One commonality I've noticed among those interviewed on TV is that they are very humble. Also, most of them are calm as they say they will rebuild, etc. Unlike Katrina, I've seen no one demanding help from the government or anyone else. People are helping themselves, which in turn makes others want to help them.

 

Indeed. :cheers:

 

So much for not letting politics get involved.

What more did you expect the man to do? He is not a god!

Here is a good interview with GOP Representative Cole from Moore. The last minute is where he discussed Obama's prayers for these poor folks and the resources he is making available.

Umm I thought this wasn't the time and place for politics here.. I felt my boat rocking earlier from that shot over the bow you sent..

Now this.. lets be fair and consistent here.. sweet pea,,

 

Who is "sweet pea"? My neighbor has a dog with that name, are you referring to her? Go back under your bridge troll. You were the one that came in pooping all over this thread. The adults are attempting to clean up the mess you made.

 

yeah ok... you're the one who said it's not the time and place for politics.. than an hr later guess what.. yeah you go political in agreement... maybe SS did have you pegged as a hypocrite.. you've shown it here.. being the adult you are.

 

Your opinion means just as much to me as his does. And take that to mean less than nothing trollboy. Like I said, you made a mess, others are cleaning it up.

 

Well I don't need nor asked for you to clean up after me, and by you chastising me by politicizing this thread and you feel the need to come along thinking you're gonna clean it up after me is ignorant of you because your so called clean up involves your political stance here also. You call me a troll which is an opinion. I call you a full blown hypocrite in this,, which is a fact. Be cool Sweet pea.

 

Great point, we're not seeing Leroy walking down the street carrying flat screen TVs or grocery cart full of groceries.

 

I think the main difference is in the a) the scale of the two disasters, b) the longevity of the effects, and c) the response time. Considering both caused huge amounts of damage, Katrina left a wider swath and flooding which prevented help from arriving. If I recall it was weeks before any measurable help arrived in NO, not to mention the advance warning hurricanes give versus the 15 minutes of warning a tornado offers - so the W admin had some lead time. The largest point here is that Moore happened 2 days ago now, with little to no warning - be honest with yourself and consider how quickly any measurable a response can be made versus weeks after a hurricane where there was ample warning.

If there is no little to no measurable help in Moore, OK after 5-6 days (food, water, etc.) then I would say you could begin to compare the two.

 

You may have your opinion. I have mine of you trollboy. Come back when you can have something constructive to add to the conversation.

 

I didn't care for the democrats calling out Bush for Katrina, so why should I call out Obama for the tornados? You want your side treated with respect, treat the other side with respect.

Oh wait, that's what adults would do.

Nevermind.

 

Ok. I'll forgive you this time. We cool.

 

Also, the government learned a lot from the Katrina debacle. Now they send someone from FEMA in days in advance of a bad storm to start the federal help immediately, if needed. That's a huge improvement!!

Unless the house is vacuumed, dishes are washed and the clothes are clean....get off the computer.

 

...aaaaaannnnndddd now we have our first misogynistic post of the thread. Super.

 

No worries Harvey, that post will get all the consideration it deserves too. :lol:

 

Don't think that the 4042.com forum has the only nuthead who is intent on politicizing the Oklahoma tornado. This guy reminds me of a few on here.
