THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED FOLKS! HILLARY DID NOTHING TO SOLVE THE CRISIS!

Pardon me for yelling but I have family that live in Flint. A sister to be specific. She has small grandchildren who have stayed with her for weeks at a time. Those children have partaken in the poisoned water the Governor and his cronies served up. One is already displaying behavioral and learning problems and was recently put on Ritalin. The other is too small to know yet if he will display learning or behavioral problems. Only time will tell.

HRC was a late coming to the table and has only provided some lip service to the mayor of Flint who's head is apparently easily turned by celebrity. The people of Flint still have poisoned water running from their faucets and the city of Flint is still charging the residents for that poison. So no, the problem is not solved. What? They're getting bottled water you say? Do you know how many freaking bottles it takes to fill a bathtub? That's right- they still have to bathe in the shit. And HRC and her supporters has the gall to say she's solved the fucking problem?

She is definitely not the one who motivated the snake of a Republican Governor we have to finally do something. It was people like Rachael Maddow, Drs, Michael Moore and Jessie Jackson who put pressure on the governor to finally request assistance from the Federal government.

I resent the hell out of HRC taking credit for anything that has anything to do with Flint and I'm really pissed that people here give her credit for solving a situation that is going to take more than calling for Rick Snyder to ask for help.

I'm shaking my damn head at what some people here will defend.

I'm sorry, this post was not meant for you specifically Angrychair. It was meant for those who would come here and praise this woman for doing nothing.
