I wish someone would sign a disaster declaration for the Obama presidency and administration and FEMA.

I give it a year before any money is distributed and then all of it won't be used for what it is meant to be used for. Pockets will get lined. Just like the Red Cross does when it comes to donations. They openly admitted that all of the donations collected for Katrina wasn't going to be used there that they had other things it would be used for. Like million dollar salaries for a non profit organization.
