I do have the victims in my prayers as well as prayers of Obama's defeat on Tuesday. Obama has been the Superstorm of America. I believe his reelection will be the final nail in Americas coffin.

crockett...tho i'm not totally convinced obama is any better..that he too has and will be bending to the corporations and corporate lobbyists too much, i am postive that romeny will be that way and so to me, a win by him would definatly be the final nail in the coffin on america.

I'll keep the Obama/Biden sign in my yard, after Tuesday, no matter what happens.

The first Federal department that Mitt was going to cut was FEMA. FEMA in itself is just a coordinating organization, but well needed during emergencies to help pull things together.

I don't understand all the 'haters' out there.

What ever will you do if Obama doesn't win??

Reorganize, cut some waste from the funding. FEMA wastes horrendous amounts of money. You liberals sure try to twist things.

"The first Federal department that Mitt was going to cut was FEMA" Hogwash. Why are liberals allowed to post such nonsense here?

It is the economy, stupid.

Under FailBama, the miserable failure in the White House:
* there are 10 million fewer Americans working
* 8 million more Americans living in poverty
* 15 million more Americans on food stamps
* Federal debt has doubled to $16 trillion
* worked health insurance costs increased 24%
* income decreased 8% while CPI increased 9%
* gas from $1.85 to $3.83 per gallon

Americas credit rating has been cut twice.

Americas global competitiveness ranking dropped from 1st to 7th.

Why would you support FailBama?

onward, can you show me where Romney said he was going to do that? I just looked and found absolutely nothing that even hinted at that.

Does Obama know what the term prayers mean. Thats right he attends and follows a racist preacher.

FEMA is well known for a Cluster (mess). Dont let this little Dog and Pony show full you.

Liberal hogwash FailBama? How quickly you forget. Since checking facts (or using google for that matter) does not seem to be your strong point, here you go. Romney on FEMA in the Republican primaries.

Oh, my bad, I thought this article was about keeping the victims in our prayers, not resorting to what you people put above all else in God's creation...Partisan political views.

: What is it about Mitt Romney's record of looting pensions and outsourcing jobs that makes you think he'd be good news for you?

Onward, Romney didn't say he'd "cut" FEMA. He believes it should be run by the state, and I am in 100% agreement. Why pay federal middlemen when the people closest to the disaster simply inform the feds and the feds allocate resources? Why not just allocate the resources to a "SEMA" and be more effective and faster while saving money? You'd have to be pretty naive to believe he wants to eliminate it. You'd also have to be a sucker to think he opposes birth control.
It comes down to the national debt for me. A government with no money can't allocate money to the causes and programs we care about. The lending wagon will soon stop and when it does we are toast.

Have you ever wondered why Romney's home state of Massachusetts does not support him? As their Governor from 2003-2007, Romney showed Massachusetts that he was willing to say whatever was needed to advance his political career. Everything he said and did in MA was about STRATEGY and AMBITION, not public service, and that is why he flip flops - he has no core convictions except for his own advancement. Romney's attack ad strategy keeps people focused away from what really happened under his Governorship. Even the most conservative paper in MA, the Boston Herald, was glad to see him leave office in 2007. http://www.bostonmagazine.com/articles/2012/09/mass-revolt-mitt-romney-campaign-in-massachusetts/

Prayers and good thoughts to everyone on the east coast. And instead of spewing your hatred, why don't you people go donate something to the Red Cross. You may need their help one day...

Again, proud of the President's response, like so many of those affected.

Even Chris Christie can admit it, a Republican Senator.

I guess if you are so desperate to hate, you mix up reality.

Way to use that energy, guys.

Just a quick note, it's very sad when someone calls themself a believer and says "Obama prays to a racist preacher".
That shows exactly who is racist and unfaithful.
