400,000 Without Power After New Hampshire Ice Storm (George Bush Doesn’t Care About White People)

December 20, 2008

 Last Thursday New Hampshire was hit with a major ice storm. Much like Hurricane Katrina, the full extent of the damage was not fully known right away. After Hurricane Katrina passed through New Orleans reporters on the scene reported that it looked as though New Orleans dodged a bullet, the hurricane didn’t do the damaged that was feared. And then it happened, the levees broke and the political firestorm was on.

 In New Hampshire last week the extent of the ice storm was not foreseen and the damage left in it’s wake was devastating. 400,000 homes were left with no electricity, heat, or water. Half of New Hampshire was dark. You read that right, HALF of New Hampshire was dark.

 After Hurricane Katrina the man who recently called himself the voice of this generation, Kanye West, went on a national awards program and made the outrageous statement, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” We were shown images of people who had no idea what to do or how to fend for themselves because they have been dependant on the government for so long. People were asking where FEMA was and where the national guard was. Hell, the theory was floated that the government blew up the levees to flood black neighborhoods.  It was all over the television because it was a politically viable story.

 Fast forward to the New Hampshire ice storm. NOTHING! 400,000 households with no heat in the middle of the winter and nobody gives a fuck.

 I want to know where FEMA was, I want to know where the national guard is, I want to know where all the media coverage is, I want to know where President Bush is.

 As of today there are still hundreds of people without power headed into day ten. There are hundreds of people without heat and water. There are hundreds of people freezing and yet this story doesn’t gain the respect of the media, the celebrities, or the president.

 First George Bush blew up the levees and now he has sent the Halliburton Hurricane Machine into New Hampshire to make a few more dollars. It is obvious to me now that George Bush doesn’t like white people.

Neither do the media or the celebrities.

NOTE: THIS IS SARCASM, DEAL WITH IT!

    you and your fellow citizens are in my thoughts, I know this sounds hollow as I am just some anonymous poster on the internet.

    I wasn’t aware of this story [and I don’t watch the MSM] but I must admit to most likely somehow glancing over it while perusing my news feeds.

    I pray for quick recover and everyday, I hope it get’s better for a few more people.

    As to the GWB, the man who should have never been king!

    be well.

    S., I heard a rumor that Gov. Lynch said to take care of certain areas last because they didn’t vote for him! And I also heard on WRKO that some power co.s have police protection because of angry homeowners. THat wasThurs. morning.

    I can believe the part about Lynch not wanting to fix towns who did not vote for him. Didn’t the snobs in Bedford get fixed by Sat morning? They went 100% Republican except for that midget Lynch.

    Thanks for the well wishes alogicbit, we got our power back sometime on Saturday afternoon.
    I hadn’t heard the rumor about Lynch but Kingston still voted Republican so maybe there is some truth to that rumor.

    Now I heard on the local news about towns in MA taht have Unitil that were in the same situation. I hope that something is actually done about this co. They apparently have terrible business practices, or they are too small to deal with a big problem.
