Obama Has Declared Record-Breaking 89 Disasters So Far in 2011

Everything is a disaster and crisis with him, nothing to go to waste. Can’t wait to get rid of this walking disaster in 2012.

The writer overlooked the biggest disaster……Barry election and time served thus far is the biggest disaster the US has ever seen….worse than Jimmy Carter! ONE & DONE! Barry, kids, Mother-in-Law,
MOOCH & the POOCH need to be put on the curb in 2012!

Hey ABC, Katrina was in 2005, not 2006. But, you know, what’s a minor detail like that?

It’s normal. He doesn’t beieve in us. No big surprise.

How `bout we save time and ink? Just declare the Obama Regime itself is a disaster and leave it at that. Americans (in general) are generous and caring folk. The truly sad part of the Obama Great Recession is that when the truly bad stuff starts happening within the next two months, “compassion fatigue” will have set in and it will be worse than it should have been.

The Kenyan scum refused Texas relief from wild fires because it was a Republican state. Its time for the Republicans to do the same thing for Mexifornia, Ilinois, NY and every big city run by Democrats!

This is getting rather pathedic……..where can I get some decent Chinese food?

And I bet he hasn’t even counted his presidency yet!

He forgot to declare the biggest disaster of all…his presidency.

Part of the Cloward Piven stragegy to bring about a Marxist / Communist America, is to get the Federal Gvt. to spend so much money …..entitlements, debt…etc. ( including these disasters)…that the treausury will go bankrupt. This will cause massive economic chaos, disaster and rioting. Out of this nightmare, the Federal Gvt will rise up, and take over everything……and make all things private now under the rule of the Public, or Gvt. sector. The Constitution will be eliminated……and One Big Gvt..will rule us all. This sounded like wild nonsense at one point…..but Obama is a student and advocate of Cloward-Piven, and his three years as Pres. have clearly demonstrated….esp. thru his debt ….that he is employing this tactic. They laughed at Beck for bringing this up……but it is right there, as obvious as the nose on your face.

Dear IRAQ, we would like our 875 BILLION $$$$ back now please, for an invasion we did not have to fund. Oh, everyone forgets about what really got our economy in the mess it’s in.. Amnesia I guess.

Umm… why aren’t they counting the 301 days that Barry has been in office this year? Now those are disasters!

The Obama administration IS the biggest disaster this nation has ever known and the full ramifications of their policies haven’t even been felt yet.
Just wait until Obamacare is fully implemented and these will look like the good old days in comparison.
America can’t survive another four years of Barry.

Obama is his own worldwide disaster. When he’s back home in Chicago, unemployed, the sun will come out and life will improve. Hopefully, those with their hands out will follow him home and leave the rest of us alone.

Lacking an intelligent comment, the gop supporters resort to baseless accusations and childish name calling. They must be feeling threatened and insecure.

Evil attracts disaster. This presidency has brought nothing but misery & despair to the American people.

If we count America’s first affirmative action presidency, we can round the disaster total off to an even 90.

Unfortunately, there will be no relief from that disaster until 2013.

Make it an even 90 – add his presidency to the list.

Have you noticed that typical weather such as rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, snow, etc which have been occuring here for a million years are now declared “abnormal”?

The only reason Dear Leader likes calling everything a “disaster” is that he gets to spend more of other people’s money. I guess you can’t blame him, he doesn’t know how to do anything else.

You left a word out of the headline, it should have read: “Obama a disaster of a president”.

Has he declared his Presidency a disaster yet so he could give himself more funds for his campaign?

So now he’s blaming his incompetence on Global Warming? What a loser.

Did he declare hiself as one?

Progressives/Marxists are trying to get us used the government declaring disasters that need Execuctive Branch command and control so we won’t object when Obama suspends elections because of the “economic emergency”

I can’t believe how blind & dumb america is, just look at these comments. Wow, I am not like y’all. You can have yourselves & please stay over there.

So all you complainers…I understand what obama is saying. You don’t? You didn’t notice all the extreme weather? Also you seem to forget where the economy was when Obama took over office & started trying to fix everything, all the while GOP did nothing but more weight on his shoulders & try to make him fail ONLY SO THEY CAN GET BACK IN OFFICE & START DEREGULATING AGAIN?? y’all are crazy.

He’ll blame everything under the sun except his narcissistic, arrogant self. It’s a disaster that this country has continued to keep him in the WH. He should have been impeached over and over again for his sneaky, underhanded, dishonest deeds. How do you spell diaster? B.A.R.A.C.K. O.B.A.M.A.

Uhhhhh…the wildfires and Texas mentions should be removed from this op-ed. He refused declare a disaster for the Texas wildfires. Posted by: Anon | October 28, 2011, 9:47 am.

“An assessment of damage from fires that scorched 2.2 million acres since November determined that Texas did not require assistance beyond the 22 federal fire management assistance grants already awarded to the state, according to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency…..FEMA officials noted that in the past five months the agency has approved every request from Texas for federal fire management assistance grants, which cover 75 percent of the state’s firefighting expenses. Sixteen grants were awarded in April, the agency said” (May 4th, Ft. Worth Star-Telegram).

Maybe if Governor Perry hadn’t slashed 75% of the state’s firefighting budget from the state budget this year, they would have been better able to handle this situation themselves. (One fire department that battled the blazes in Bastrop County had to pay for a hose with money from the pockets of the firefighters, according to Bastrop City Fire Chief Henry Perry). Instead of relying on the federal government to bail them out.

LOL!!!!! The responses from the idiots on the Right are so predictable you could set your watch to them. Not one original thought amongst the lot. Not one INTELLIGENT response from the lot. Just a bunch of the usual ‘blame Obama for everything’ tripe. Seriously, y’all need to get some new material. You’re becoming boring……………..

The problem I have with FEMA is there is no accountability whatsoever. They send someone out to access the damage, they get a fairly good picture of the damage and a good estimate for repairs, and then thats where they drop the ball. They do not assign contractors to jobs, they do not verify work is done or is done correctly, They sit back and write checks and send to individuals who fraud the tax payer, taking the money, and not repairing anything. They stick the money in their pockets and go on spending sprees and are not accountable for anything. I have seen it done.I know someone who received over 11,000.00 to replace and repair the road to their home, and didn’t spend one cent on it. Went bought new tv etc with it, but later will complain about what bad shape thier road is in. I say disban fema.

This failed social experiment is the biggest disaster we’ve had this side of Judgment Day. Oh wait, maybe his being elected IS part of God’s judgement !

I thought they were talking about his presidency!!

His presidency is the only disaster…he will declare a state of emergency so that he can dump FEMA funds into his re-election efforts

Let’s avoid further disasters and proceed with impeachment.

We will NEVER BALANCE THE BUDGET with Democrats in power! The need for spending cuts is not even close to being part of their ability to grasp nor will it ever be. The only way to deal with it is to change the power structure of our government through the election process. (or foment rebellion just as the current POTUS and his cronies are doing right now) I have my doubts about Republicans as well but at least the term “spending cuts” is within their ability to perceive. Acting on it is another thing altogether. Got to believe, the way things are playing out and according to Obama’s stated objectives, that destroying our economy and reducing our nation to chaos is part of his plan to fundamentally change our nation and society, all for “the better”. Our nation is the only thing standing in the gap warding off global poverty and catastrophic want. Our beloved POTUS is leading us down the road to becoming a third world country and a “third world” world. Radical liberalism always cries “conspiracy” any time their true objectives are outed so they will cry… and in their insanity, they race along the edge of the cliff of financial and social cataclysm all the while denying there is any cliff there at all. Little do they realize that they are running along the edge of a butte with their eyes wide shut soon to meet the edge of the precipice straight in front of them only to kiss the rocks beneath. Wouldn’t be a problem except they are dragging us with them!

We appreciate ABC news running our story pretty much as we sent it to you. However we are mystified you did not include the several times Air Force One ran into turbulence and the plane was jostled. These episodes were frequent and scary. All aboard felt as if it were a disaster. Or at least a disaster in the making. This would bring the total number of disaters handled to well over 250. If in the future you no longer wish to go with the stories exactly as we relate them let us know and we will go back to letting NBC run them verbatim. We have never had this trouble with them.

The massive increase in declared disasters is nothing more than another excuse by the Community Organizer to grow the size of govt. FEMA is one of the most useless,wasteful federal agencies (and there are many) so naturally the Dems would like nothing more than seeing its budget and power increased. Sadly, half the country and all the MSM will fall for this BS and be thankful for the caring generosity of the Compassion Party

bunch of morons: Since you are convinced there are more weather related disaster than ever (and supposedly the data backs it up) can you give us your ideal weather year? Or better yet, say a 3 or 5 year window to better account for statistical variation? Of course not. No climate alarmist will ever do so because a review of the data would show that there has been no increase in natural disaster. The only thing that has increased is the media coverage as well as damage, which is due to population/infrastructure growth, not to mention media saturation as well..

As usual, carring water for the Fool-In-Chief and STILL not get the story facts right. Must be using Yahoo! staff stiil, eh? Ya, that’s it, that’s it, yea, yea, sure, sure….

Umm… You forgot to add Obama’s presidency as the 90th disaster.

Oh, and dont forget one more diaster!….The election of president Obama :D

HAARP!

This twisted S O B makes a declaration of the number of disasters that have hit during his reign doesn’t have any scruples or intentions for the good things that happen. Why? Because he is focused on destruction.

Never let a crisis (even if it has to be manufactured, and media spun) go to waste!

ABC, you have the count wrong – you are one disaster short. Obama’s Presidency.

The fundamental question this election cycle is: ‘Can we overcome the Obama ‘Jobs- Depression’ so long as Obama sits in the WH?’ Certainly the 26 Million Americans without a viable option for productive employment consider this to be the most critical issue confronting our electorate. Unfortunately, the answer is an emphatic ‘NO’. Quite simply, Obama either doesn’t understand -OR- is unwilling to accept the mechanics of job creation in a free-market economy. Certainly the circulating video of a petulant adolescent, utterly out-of-control, as he kicked open the door as he exited the WH conference room ‘after’ he was told by attending members of the Congress that they would NOT give him the massive tax increases that he insisted on to sustain his crippling spending binge of 25% of our GDP, would validate the latter. The explanation is straight forward: Obama views the Tax Code, Regulatory Reform, and Executive Policy such as Obamacare, Housing, and Student Loan Programs, etc., as instruments of WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION. Obama has been schooled in this Marxist dialectic since birth; and, is NOT capable of accommodating real-life consequences. In a functioning Free-Market System, the Tax Code, Regulatory Reform, and Executive Policy are purposely constructed to FACILITATE economic expansion, and concurrently, JOB CREATION. No CEO, with proliferating onerous regulatory measures, pending increases in tax obligations, and Executive policies that cripple profit potential, are going to RISK significant ‘domestic’ expansion, and concurrent hiring of new employees in face of such a fusillade of restrictive business measures being promulgated by the Obama anti-capitalistic agenda. Thus, even with a modestly expanding economy, job-creation will be severely constrained. Paradoxically, the Occupy-Wall-Street protestors, and the Tea-Party activists have a common enemy – Barack Obama. It’s simply a matter of recognizing the actual culprit in the job-creating malaise infecting our body politic. Greg Neubeck

What percentage of crises are in red states?

He is a disaster!

@LEE3022 – if it was political then it was started by Rick Perry. Obama didn’t just say oh Texas is a red state I’m not going to help them. But we have this gov who thinks he’s hot stuff. I remember a couple years back seeing Obama get off airplane in Texas & Gov Perry walks up to him. Obama sticks out his hand to shake & Perry doesn’t shake his hand. All he does is shove a bunch papers at him. I lost ALL respect for Rick perry when i saw that, really didn’t care one way or another before. Then Perry says he going to succeed. perry has been nothing but a horse’s ass to Obama. And of the day comes with mr independent rick perry needs Obama’s help. Would you work with rick perry if you were Obama & this guy has shown no respect at all for your office form day 1 for no reason other than your Obama.

“Record-Breaking 89 ”
I didn’t think that much of Obama’s legislation made it past the Republicans in congress.

Obama knows how to play the game. By declaring disasters wherever he can, Obama gets the ability to funnel Federal dollars to friendly Democratic state governors. Since almost every single blue state is running a massive, budget destroying deficit, he is basically covertly bailing out blue state political machines and government worker labor unions. He is creating a very strong support structure for his re-election. And absolutely no one can naysay what he is doing, because there’s always some sob story a friendly reporter could dredge up to show the heartlessness of those mean old Republicans.

Obama is a master at using taxpayer money for buying local support networks for his campaign. Watch the governors with the most “disasters” come out early and strong for Obama in 2012.

It’s just another excuse for the empty suit to spend our money. Spending our money is his second favorite past time, after golf.

The Won-in-Chief believes he was tasked as looter-in-Chief of the United States National Treasury!

He believes there was a war, there were “enemies,” which He, The Won, defeated, and thus there are spoils of war which is now his to squander as is his pleasure!

Democrats pend without a care in the world, even as we every day become more be beholden to China, which owns us and will shortly own Europe. Thanks Democrats – those programs you love will soon be unaffordable once interest rates go to typical levels and interest on the debt exceeds all other payments. How can this not happen, when 40% of the budget is borrowed every year?

And what’s your solution – point fingers?.

too funny that ignorance abounds rampant here in the US… trumpeted to be the greatest nation on earth by all it’s citizens who’s knee-jerk reactions are quick to point and blame everyone else. the truth to the matter is this; it’s our fault for the condition of the country… our fault for letting politicians lie to us while taking our tax money with one hand and taking money from special interests in the other. shame on us for letting them divide us as a people because they know that “divided we fall” and have no chance of doing what needs to be done, which is to change Washington. it won’t matter who is in office… it hasn’t mattered for 50 years… they will say what you want to hear and laugh at your gullibility and stupidity. please take your blinders off. we need to unite as a people regardless of what party you’re affiliated with, and hold ALL the elected officials accountable… because they are all just as guilty of getting us in this mess as we are for letting them.

a lotta votes to get…not much time to get ‘em…

Make that 90.
His entire presidency has been a disaster.

President Zero has got to go.
Let’s make 2012 a year o celebrate.
Defeat the Marxist.

Perhaps this country is being punished by God for embracing a lie and giving this false messiah worship.

wow so much idiocy written here. you guys are ignorant. I see so much lies & speculation about obama it’s crazy & all the while he stays steady, doesn’t lose his cool & moves forward even without the GOP bc they won’t work with HIM. He’s tried working with the GOP & what did that get him? MORE DERISION FROM BOTH SIDES. Obama is the man. You complainers are just the pubic hairs on his nuts.

He didn’t have to order the evacuation of 3 states due to a hurricane. And of course the biggest disaster was him and the Democrats

Becaue Obama is POTUS, the Gods are angry…

Areas such a VA and TX have had true emergencies where Hurricanes, Tornadoes earthquakes have hit they do get FEMA aid NY gets a little extra rain and they get Fema Aid but it has little to do with politics right.

i wonder if including all the disasters he created like Obamacare, Dodd/Frank…….just too mention a few……..this guy has no shame in search of sympathy or someone to blame for his failed policies….He can have the hope & change-
i’ll keep my God, my country and my Guns…..

@ MTDAVE – how profound …/s

@ Steve Roberts re Bunch of Morons: Trying to talk sense to an acolyte of the Church of Anthropogenic Climate Change is futile. If they were interested in facts or logic, they would study climate trends through human history and discover that there have always been extremes in both temperature and weather. The fact that Irene had ceased to be a hurricane before it made landfall in the U.S. was ignored by the White House and its propaganda tool, the MSM.

Federal disaster policy stipulates that states will be considered eligible for a presidential disaster declaration when a disaster event is beyond the state’s fiscal capacity. The economic downturn in 2008 has led to falling state revenues and increased costs associated with mandated public services. This has led to an increase in state disaster declaration requests and subsequent presidential declarations for events of a scale and type that may have been denied when the states were not subject to the same degree of fiscal crisis.

It is disheartening to see the conversation degraded by almost everyone to a mud-slinging, name-calling free-for-all. This is a serious issue that we should all be concerned about.

More and more, the general populace is un-prepared for the disasters that are inherent in their area, they are less likely to want to pay for local support (in the form of an Emergency Manager) to plan for these occurrences, and they have higher expectations of what government (at all levels) will do to TAKE CARE OF THEM following the incident.

Additionally, when one reviews the statistics from the 1950′s to today, it is OBVIOUS that the declaration process CAN be used as a political bonus. Every election year (regardless of PARTY AFFILIATION), there is a spike in the number of declarations issued. One can only assume that this is a political mechanism used by all sitting President’s to attempt to keep the seat in their party.

In the meantime, rather than argue the actual argument (premise and conclusion – not ridiculous name calling, childish pissing match), the American public stays unprepared and when the next disaster occurs the fight over whether to fund or not to fund will be no closer to resolution. Disgusting.

lol people think they are so funny talking about his presidency!! we hasn’t done much wrong mean it is kinda hard to clean up the mess that bush made! but doesn’t matter who the prez is no one is going to be happy with whats going on! you all sound like just a bunch of hating Republicans! instead of looking at whats actually going on many of you are just blindly hating on Obama get a life!!!!!!
