Obama consoles families and survivors of West, Texas, plant explosion
WACO, Texas - President Barack Obama consoled a rural Texas community rocked by a deadly fertilizer plant explosion, telling mourners Thursday they are not alone in their grief and they will have the nation’s support to rebuild from the devastation.
“This small town’s family is bigger now,” Obama said during a memorial service at Baylor University for victims of last week’s explosion in nearby West, Texas, that killed 14 and injured 200. Nearly 10,000 gathered to remember the first responders killed in the blast, a crowd more than triple the size of West’s entire population of 2,700.
“To the families, the neighbors grappling with unbearable loss, we are here to say you are not alone. You are not forgotten,” Obama said to applause. “We may not all live here in Texas, but we’re neighbors too. We’re Americans too, and we stand with you.” SOURCE
Isn’t that a warm and touching story? Doesn’t that inspire all kinds of love in your heart for the compassion that IS Barack Obama?
He must be a warm and caring President, otherwise we wouldn’t see this headline: President Barack Obama, officials promise recovery from West explosion.
Right?
”We’ll be there after the cameras leave and after the attention turns elsewhere. Your country will remain ever ready to help you recover and rebuild and reclaim your community.”
So, if that’s the case, if Obama is ON THE JOB and is going to bring the power of his regime to bear and help rebuild the town of West, TX., why then are we seeing this?
6 months after Sandy, thousands homeless in NY, NJ
Six months after Superstorm Sandy devastated the Jersey shore and New York City and pounded coastal areas of New England, the region is dealing with a slow and frustrating, yet often hopeful, recovery. Tens of thousands of people remain homeless. Housing, business, tourism and coastal protection all remain major issues with the summer vacation - and hurricane - seasons almost here again.
“Some families and some lives have come back together quickly and well, and some people are up and running almost as if nothing ever happened, and for them it’s been fine,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a news conference Thursday. “Some people are still very much in the midst of recovery. You still have people in hotel rooms, you still have people doubled up, you still have people fighting with insurance companies, and for them it’s been terrible and horrendous.” SOURCE
OK, wait a minute, what is this all about? Didn’t President Obama say, regarding victims of Hurricane Sandy: “We are going to be with them every step of the way in helping them to rebuild their lives.”
Isn’t that what he said? Because that’s for damned sure what I HEARD him say. So why then was THIS a headline? Sandy Victim Promised ‘Immediate Help’ by President Obama Still in the Cold.
Surely President Barack Obama wasn’t just *talking*? Was he? Surely Obama wouldn’t make promises and not keep them? Obama didn’t lie did he? Not Obama…
Bull Bagels! Never let a crisis go to waste.
Barack Hussein Obama saw the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and the disaster at West as nothing more than photo-op and an opportunity to satisfy his insatiable desire to be in the spotlight as he works his perpetual campaign mode.
Obama doesn’t give a damn about the Sandy victims, all they are to him is a voting block that can mostly be counted on to vote Democrat.
I watched as Barack Obama gave his *campaign style* speech in Waco, I watched and listened as he spoke to the people of West and their friends and neighbors.
I heard him as he attempted to sound like an inspired Full Gospel Preacher, one that gets all fired up on Sunday and bangs the kids in the Choir and *The Church Ladies* the rest of the week. I heard him do his best Jeremiah Wright imitation, and sadly, I watched as the people in that stadium ate that crap up!
Obama sold the folks of West, TX, and the surrounding area, a bill of goods, one that they will never be able to cash in on and rebuild their town with. All Obama had was words, HOLLOW words, words with NO substance, words that reflect exactly what we have in this current President.
Hot air, lies, deceit, shuck and jive, the Obama Legacy.
You wannna know why Obammie sounded so much like a wired up nigger preacher on Sunday mornin’? Well I’m a gonna tell ya why, it’s because fer 20 some odd years he sat there and listened to a wired up nigger preacher that hates us white folks with a passion, but that’s OK, Ol’ Bubba hates him some nigger preachers, and that includes this here Obammie sumbitch and his racist Chicago preacher buddy. And I know you don’t like it when folks use the nigger word on yer blog, but I’m sorry man, there just ain’t no other way to describe Obammie my friend.
Well Bubba, we’ve been friends a long time and I know that you WILL speak your mind…
If that’s the best way you can describe Obama, then that’s the best way you can describe Obama… You didn’t use ANY vulgarities and far be from me to deny you the right to speak your mind in a civil manner…
I don’t like using the *N* word on my blog, but my readers comments are theirs, so, no worries old friend…
Anybody else notice this? It took him over a week to get to West; same thing with Joplin and Fort Hood. Funny he was right on the scene for Newtown, Hurricane Sandy, and Boston once the “all clear” was given. Interesting how Missouri and Texas are staunch “Red” states while New Jersey, NY, Massachusetts, and Connecticut are die hard “Blue” states.
Can’t help but notice, and the part that hit me the hardest was all the folks in Waco, at Ferrel Center, that cheered the bastard… I would have stood and turned my back when he spoke, the ultimate disrespect…
But I heard a TEXAS crowd cheer his words…
It will be interesting to see how much they cheer when he doesn’t come though on his promises. Those folks in NJ and NY who cheered him when he did his dog & pony show with Christie aren’t cheering him any more. Same for those folks in Tuscaloosa, Alabama who are now saying how Obama never came though with his promises and most of them are Black folks.
It’s 3-Card Monty, a sleight of hand card trick played on street corners to get suckers to bet on a most unsure thing.
When I heard of him going to Waco I told my wife that if we were ever the victims of a disaster and I lost all my family I would not attend his photo op. Yes, hollow words are all that come out of his mouth.
I want to take this one step further and say that I will never stand behind Chris Christie after seeing how he fell for Obama’s lies after Hurricane Sandy. Sure, his state was in a world of hurt but he helped this country stay in a world of hurt by praising Obama the way he did.
He combined it with a fund raising event so he wouldn’t have to reimburse anything is my guess. And of course, the sandy folks were not the right shade.
Well Bubba said the N—-r word and good for him. I gave a nod to the mulatto Kenyan POS for showing up but that is all. I will refrain from further inflammatory words like but I hate BHO, and he is a traitor of the worst kind. He and his ilk want to keep all the blacks on the plantation and enslave the rest of us. Yeah, red- blue states Bob, I noticed right away.
I never forget that bambam is a community organizer… he is a destructive community rabble-rouser. He is only there for the cameras and his handlers know that Americans live by the soundbite! The Sheeple have a 72-hour memory, that is why his White House releases all bad data after close of business on Friday night - not making the news and forgotten by Monday due to other events… I am saddened that so many applauded his preacher like rendition of empty promises… He is winning because so many of “We The People” are just plumb stupid!!! My biggest worry is ‘if & when’ he leaves office he will return to his roots… Going back to being a destructive community rabble-rouser — and the Sheeple will love it…. as he takes up the fight for the little people… until the cameras turn off…
If we have one of our famous tornadoes in Oklahoma while Obama is in office, I bet he never shows his hide in our state. Of course, since he failed to carry a single county, TWICE, I can’t blame him. Folks in our part of the country, Oklahoma, Texas, etc., should know better than to believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
You are correct. Obama is a rabble rouser Community Organizer.
That is his mission in life.
It is all he studied for, trained for, lied for.
What I am fearful of,,,,,, is this “poser” being able to get laws changed in order to make him “ruler for life”, like Venezuela.
My reason for writing is about the West, Tx explosion. My mom has lived in West, just past the nursing home for the past 32 years and her house and car are totally destroyed. We have been there since early morning, Thursday, April 18th and only gained access to the house this past Saturday, April 27th. We have been trying to recover what remains of her belongings. The Red Cross and Texas Baptist Men’s Group have been great as have most of the DPS officers and McClennan County Sheriffs officers. One group glaring in there absence is FEMA, or any aid representative of the US government. All Obama did was showboat and take people away from the work that needed to be done. If he cared so much, why did he not come to the area and walk thru and talk to the people most affected?
Awesome comment! And I fully agree, Obama saw a Photo-Op and a sound bite, nothing more.. Welcome to The TexasFred Blog Txterryt and let the folks in West know, WE love ya’ll, and Texas WILL get you through this thing!!
