发帖数: 29846 | 1 AZ Gov. Jan Brewer Suggests Payback At Play In FEMA's Denial Of Disaster Aid
»
Would FEMA really deny aid to a politically disfavored state? Once upon a
time the idea would have been unthinkable, but not now. In Obama's America,
everything is politicized and the Regime picks the winners and losers.
Keith Koffler reported on the unsettling story at White House Dossier:
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) is suggesting President Obama reneged on a
commitment to help the state recover from a devastating June 30 wildfire
that killed 19 specially trained “Hotshot” firefighters, hinting politics
might be involved in the decision.
“I don’t want to believe that . . . but you know, it’s very odd, very
strange that it took them this long first of all,” Brewer told local
Arizona radio host Mike Broomhead when when asked if the denial of Federal
Emergency Management Agency aid to the state was politically motivated. “
Normally you file for something like this you get a faster response,” she
said.
Brewer said she was going to speak with Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R), whose
state was also turned down by FEMA in 2011 for federal relief after
disastrous wildfire season, a move that Perry suggested might be part of a
political vendetta. The decision was subsequently reversed.
The decision to deny aid came just days after Obama had visited the state
and Brewer had released a statement criticizing Obama for using his time on
the ground to promote ”more big government programs” and for taking credit
for Arizona’s economic progress.
“I am so upset and so disturbed, if you will, that they have done this
to the people of Arizona two days after he was here,” she said. “He
encouraged me that they would get right on it. I just can’t believe it.”
She termed his actions “absurd,” saying, “he flies in here and gives his
campaign style speech – rah rah rah – flies over to California, and then
they just slam down on us.” |
