Blackburn: Obama ignored flooding in Tennessee

[Subdivisions]

Also, Hayward made same mistakes in yesterday's hearing as Pres. Obama has made in dealing with disaster.

This is one of the ugliest people in the world, nevermind America.

Tennessee Governor "very pleased" with response to flooding by Obama administration



"I've never seen this kind of response," said Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen (D), "and we've had our share of tornadoes and so forth." The Volunteer State governor was speaking to reporters on a conference call arranged by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from Nashville, which has been hit hard by rains last weekend.

"FEMA and the White House could not have been more helpful in this thing," Bredesen said. Record amounts of rain fell Saturday and Sunday, more than 13 inches recorded in parts of Tennessee. Officials Thursday reported the state's 20th death from the storm and subsequent flooding.

After speaking with the governor Monday, President Obama signed a disaster declaration for the state Tuesday, sending federal aid to Tennessee to help supplement the state and local recovery efforts. While Governor Bredesen wouldn't put a precise dollar amount on a damage assessment, he admitted, "it's a lot of money, it's a lot of money. I'd be astonished if not a billion dollars."

5. Thank you for ratifying my often-expressed take on Masha: to wit, only the lack of a sufficient

power base keeps her from being one of the world's arch-villains of the 21st century. :thumbsup:

6. Propaganda machine today is pointing out Pawlenty visiting tornado ravaged sites immediately today.

This is one of the things they will promote on him even though he is very tied to the I-35W bridge collapse and doesn't always visit sites let alone is even in the State.
