160. I am a bit angry with Bloomberg, but not President Obama.

Please understand that Bloomberg turned down help that FEMA was willing to give days before the storm hit.
Per Daily Kos on the 27th:

"President Obama directed FEMA Director Craig Fugate to call Mayor Bloomberg earlier in the day to offer assistance. Governor Cuomo had asked for FEMA aid. Bloomberg said thanks, but no thanks. He said we had what we needed." http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/27/1151343/-Bloomberg-Turns-Down-Offer-of-FEMA-Assistance-for-NYC

Some things could have been in place, ahead of time. And this is ultimately all up to Mayor Bloomberg.. The President can offer things but like in New Orleans and LA, unless a mayor or Gov assign over the duties to FEMA, it cannot take over. It can provide assistance. This is sad that Chris Christie of all people is more on top of his people's needs then Bloomberg is. Guy is out of touch just a bit. Marathons and not ordering evacs until Sunday. Malloy was out there telling people to get out days before. Sent the national guard of CT in when people needed to be rescued on the CT shoreline.

I get fired up because I live in CT and see things are being run better right across Long Island Sound. NYC has more damage then we do. Cities vs small shoreline towns. But we do seem to have it together just a bit more.
