Obama, enviro wacko's cripple delay response to Colorado fires

The City of Colorado Springs, with a greater metro pop. of over 1/2 million is burning and 32,000 people have been forcably evacuated. The fire actually started last Saturday, but turned into a huge firestorm yesterday afternoon. Why weren't the big military firefighter tankers making slurry and water drops on this fire immediately?! Here's the opinion of the Gazette, the Colo. Springs newspaper this morning: http://www.gazette.com/opinion/obama-140889-edge-rages.html

We've had hundreds of billions of dollars to waste on foreign aid, payoffs to foreign governments, and every other kind of waste and corruption, but the western United States is facing the real danger of burning to the ground this summer. Frustrated State and Local officials have had to wait, and wait for no good reason while they wait for the indifferent morons in the Obama admn. to allow the Federal Government to help with some of the worst fires the West has seen in US history.

Thanks a lot, radical enviros! Good job in protecting the Steelhead Trout while the forests of the West and Colorado Springs burns. Thanks a lot, Obama. By tying the firefighters hands with red tape you have only made a bad situation worse!

Everyone knows burning 30,000 sq acres of Colorado forest improves air quality, and is super awesome for the environment.

 

All the Front Range TV and radio stations have been covering the Waldo Canyon Fire nonstop since it appeared Saturday afternoon. It took precious DAYS before the local firefighters and city and county leaders could get the Federal bureaucrats to release even a few big military tanker aircraft to drop fire retardant. This fire in Colorado Springs is now threatening the whole northern half of that city, the U. S. Air Force Academy, and if it spreads from the south, it COULD end up in the southern suburbs of Denver before the weekend. Thanks a lot, Obama! Thanks a lot for sending Colorado the help we NEEDED days after it could be been given.

I wonder if that stupid, air-headed bunch of hyperlib, Obama-loving bastards in Boulder and northern Denver are just going to totally ignore the fires that are stinking up our nostrils this morning! I wonder if the same bunch of hyperlib news "commentators" that ripped into "W" Bush over Hurricane Katrina are going to just look the other way after Obama totally ignores these devastating fires in the Western United States.... I hope a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing asteroid lands right on top of Washington D. C.!

 

Why should my tax dollars pay for CO's problems.

 

Even Obama knows there's at least 50 states in the country, and guess what? One of them is Colorado! Why did any of your tax dollars go to pay for all the Katrina stuff that went on for years and years and with all the welfare, it goes on even today? Socialists and communists can never get anything done well but blowing tons of money on all the wrong things! When Hitler invaded Russia, Stalin had to fall back all the way to Moscow and cried for the US to send him war equipment and ammunition. I hope you clowns on the East Coast have a hurricane that washes your asses out into the Atlantic ocean.

 

Actually, there are exactly 50 states. In case you missed that class in elementary school. And Obama is a socialist (or so Hannity says) and he cannot do anything well, so why are you asking for his help?

 

I don't know if he's asking for Obama's help, or if he is just, in a tactful way, telling Obama that there are at least 50 states, but probably not as many as 57 like Obama seemed to import one day.

 

That's a funny line- "and guess what? One of them is Colorado! "

1000 funny point for that one.

 

Pollycy, you say this:

"Remember: Whatever you tolerate, you are sure to get MORE of...."

Do you think that includes the dishonesty and consequent grief that liberals get from the upper-echelon purveyors of Liberalism like Soros and Obama?

 

Why should billions of our tax dollars pay for a foreign country's problems?

 

Well if RWers are going to complain about every little detail of tax dollars, I might as well too.

But let me save you some suspense, none of us have a say on how the money is spent, that is left to the three branches of govt.

 

Barack thought there were 57 states...remember?

Well, that cost us far less than W thinking Iraq had WMD's.

 

You think so?

LMAO...blame bush again...

Your premise is that the country is in better shape now than before obama was elected?

 

Blame Bush for what? Did he not think Iraq had WMD's? Not sure how "blame" even enters into it.

Did I type that?

 

I doubt that he really thought they had them. The whole thing was a scam..Surely you know that.
We weren't talking about the president we had 3 years ago..we're talking about the president we have now.
YOU brought up bush.

No, you didn't type those words. I could be wrong, but you seemed to imply it by mentioning a bush policy failure when we were talking about obama policy failures.

 

They want them to burn! This is a policy of UN AGENDA 21. Then after the fires they refuse rebuild permits sighting fire danger and make the people move closer to the city. Thats what happened in LA and other area.

 

You may be right. It was scam, no question about that, but he did clearly state they had them. And then he caused us to spend $3 trillion to get rid of them. Whether he actually believed it I certainly cannot say. Only he knows that.

One common thread you find between them is that they both head up the government. As long the people in charge have elephants and donkeys next to their names on the ballot it doesn't matter who is in charge in the long run.

 

What a sack of garbage!!!

The fire started SATURDAY AFTERNOON!

Military Tanker planes were ordered onto the fire SUNDAY NIGHT!

There were some physical problems getting the planes into the air early Monday morning, but geez!!

A Republican president can't respond to a crisis for WEEKS, but for the black Democrat guy, 24 HOURS is a "failure".

This WHOLE THREAD is a FAIL!

 

Agree completely.

 

obama isn't "black", you know.
He PREFERS to identify as "black" but he's a halfbreed.

 

Well, Obama, the Harvard 'Magna cum Laude' grad believes there are 58 states, in case you missed that jaw-dropping statement of his during the campaign....

Yeah, when a natural disaster hits and people and suffering and dying, what does the leader of the country do? Why he goes golfing, of course.......

 

IS there any way the Right Obama-haters can be kept from so much lying?

Actually, the scary part is that you actually think he really believes that.

 

Obama haters aren't azzholes, you know.

They PREFER to identify as "Patriots", but they are simply half-azzes.
