Forgotten by FEMA: Staten Island's Sandy victims vent over lack of aid

"FEMA packed up everything yesterday and left the area," said MaryLou Wong, whose home in the Midland Beach neighborhood was destroyed. "They haven't come back."

Victims of an unforgiving one-two punch from superstorm Sandy and a nor'easter that both hit New York's Staten Island say FEMA has forgotten them.

Already without power for more than a week in the wake of Sandy, hard-hit residents of the borough's South Shore braved a winter storm Wednesday night, with many -- perhaps hundreds -- huddling in condemned homes and ignoring orders to evacuate out of fear looters would take what little Mother Nature has left them.

But it didn't sit right with many that FEMA, citing the weather, closed temporary recovery centers - where people apply for help - as the nor'easter bore down on the borough. They closed Tuesday at 6 p.m. due to safety concerns in advance of the nor'easter that hit the borough.

Where's Shep Smith crying for government help in the middle of the street?

My first guess... most of the victims are the wrong color to qualify for media sympathy.

Obama already got their vote, packed up, and left.

"I'll have more flexibility after the election."

From the article:

“They knew water was coming a mile in and told people to leave - OK,” Gennaro said of FEMA. “What the **** was the day after plan?  Obama got re-elected based on his response. What *&%$*&@ Sandy Relief? The same response we saw in Libya, my family members, my countrymen are dying.”

God bless this man, maybe he'll wake some people up...

Democrats/union thugs are in charge of helping you. YOU. ARE. ON. YOUR. OWN!
Laugh at preppies all you like, but they ain't cold and hungry tonight.

Take this as a lesson. The govt is in no hurry to be bothered to help/rescue you. Start getting stuff together now.
3 days of food and water won't cut it.
If you're in a liberal hell hole...Do not head for a govt shelter!

I don't feel so alone in my surmise.
