had a really bad flood and Bush tried to not give us any assistance but ended up giving us only half of what we needed and only gve money to Walmart, K-mart, Sears, and a couple of big businesses. He had done a motorcade down our freeway and saw all of the people now with no homes and would not help them...ASSHOLE. The day after Obama came into office he gave the remaining amount of money needed by the people to get on their feet. I knew some people who were forced to live with people who could not afford to have others live with them and it was sad. The only reason we got help for the businesses is because Gregoire got into Bushes face. It sucks living in a county that is not rated important. But Obama rescued us as much as he could. I was happy for that and he is a good man.
