Romney says:

Make the individual states fund their own versions of FEMA. And they will pay for it.....how? All these natural disasters that cover multiple states? And no national coordination? R-i-i-i-g-h-t.

Twisted Info.
That is certainly not a quote about the current storm since he said that over a year ago.

CNN/New Hampshire GOP Debate, June 13, 2011

No, nobody said it was about this particular storm. It's a statement of what he believes. That's frightening enough. If Romney's in, FEMA's out.

Whinny......Whinny......Whinny. Please stop insulting our intelligence.

He's saying as was implied in the question, that the states could use the FEMA money more effectively. When you send a buck to D.C. a significant amount of it is used up in administrative redtape. Not so much at the state level, not to mention that the state can target where those funds need to go better than some pin head in Washington.

What was it that Rahm said again?

I dont know but he just sent me a $100 ticket for rolling through a red light turning right.

I'm guilty and will pay. With pennies.

I need to make sure that the highly paid and well heeled with benefited City of Chicago employee needs to "work a little".

Of course they won't, so I am really sending in only 1,000 pennies figuring they'll just "Sweep" them off the counter into a bag and call it a day.

"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

GW Bush, to his FEMA Director, just 10 days before he resigned after fouling up the Hurricane Katrina relief.

State governments aren't any more efficient, in fact they're duller tools. That's a huge misnomer, if they want to send it to the private sector, it's be contract driven and having up close and personal experience with that, it's no better either.

Soon the Jersey and NY government are going to be asking for Federal Money no qualms, including your vaunted Chris Christie.

FEMA is one mission that should be executed at the Federal level to help the country.

Willard on his photo op tour of Ohio, handling canned foods to the tune of three or four cases I'm sure , was asked to reiterate his pledge to eliminate FEMA. ELEVEN TIMES!!! Wouldn't answer one question to that extent. There's a man's man for you.

Christie on the other hand is singing Obama's praises about declaring New Jersey a national disaster area, does anyone care to explain to us "unenlightened" here from all you smart GOP types what being declared a national disaster area means, give it a shot, I'll wait.......

Christie's praise of Obama and honest discussion about Willard's attempts to politicize the storm with his photo op.

Where does Christie comment on Willard politicizing this disaster?

What? Non-sequitor?

Checking the Urban Dictionary to find the meaning of non-sequitor.

Oh, wait.........

Beginning to think this election won't be happening in 5 days. East Coast has some serious issues going on right now.

Really, he declared NJ a national disaster area, WOW, what a tough call.

I declare this a disaster area

Yeah, you would think so, but from hearing Christie talk, he thought the personal attention was really above and beyond the call. Must be Christie never saw a politician, even himself care like that before now.

Yep, he cared. Then it's back to the campaign trail!!!! Photo Op Accomplished!!!!!!! :domokun:

The Photo Op was with panick ridden purchased cans of food in Ohio, the right guy was working with Christie.

Frankly I haven't read or seen one account of this Ohio canned food thing by Romney, other than on a few obscure left wink kook blogs.
