Tornados today Joplin, MO

[Riot]

Holy cra.... Joplin MO was hit by a massive tornado this afternoon. Their hospital sustained heavy damage and was on fire ... multiple buildings gone in town.

Another tornado hit the Twin Cities, one dead in Minneapolis.

If this is tornado season, I don't want to see hurricane season.

Yeah, you're much better for politicizing the tragedy.

Although I'm about as far away from Obama as could be he belongs in Joplin like he belonged with the Seal team during the bin-Laden raid.

Though I'd like to see is him tell Egypt and Pakistan we had an emergency come up at home and divert that $5 billion to Joplin.

In Wake of Tornado, Official Says 1,500 Are Unaccounted For

[Riot]

It's hard to find 1500 people when their bodies have been pulverized into bits and pieces, and spread across 70 miles of storm travel. It's so sad, no closure for their relatives.

Two rescuers were struck by lightning last night - they had more storms. They were harmed but will live. More tornados this afternoon in Texas.

The Presidents statement upon arrival in England. Obama did visit Tuscaloosa. He'll be in Joplin Sunday. FEMA has been on the ground there as soon as it happened.

Winfield House

London, England

10:34 A.M. BST

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning, everybody. Before the day starts here in England I wanted to say a few words about the devastating storms that we’ve seen in Missouri and Minnesota and across the Midwest.

Like all Americans, we have been monitoring what’s been taking place very closely and have been heartbroken by the images that we’ve seen in Joplin, Missouri, in particular. The devastation is comparable and may end up exceeding some of the devastation that we saw in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, just a few weeks ago.

So far we know that over 100 people lost their lives. Others remain missing, and hundreds more are injured. And obviously, our thoughts and prayers are with the families who are suffering at this moment. And all we can do is let them know that all of America cares deeply about them and that we are going to do absolutely everything we can to make sure that they recover.

These storms often strike without warning, as we saw a little further south over the last couple of weeks. And it’s going to be important for us to make sure that we are sustaining our efforts at rebuilding after the news cameras leave. We can make sure that the families and communities upended by these storms have everything they need to pull through. And in that regard, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano as well as I have spoken with Missouri Governor Jay Nixon. We’ve offered him not only our condolences, but we’ve told him that we will give him every ounce of resources the federal government may have that we can bring to bear on this situation.

At my direction, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate and Deputy Administrator Rich Serino have traveled to Missouri to make sure our federal government is working hand in hand with state and local officials to give them the help that they need. And on Sunday, I myself will travel to Missouri to talk with folks who’ve been affected, to talk to local officials about our response effort and hopefully to pray with folks and give them whatever assurance and comfort I can that the entire country is going to be behind them.

Now, these storms that came this weekend obviously compounded what has already been an extraordinary storm season throughout the Midwest and in the South. We understand that there are more storms that are forecast today, so the thing I think I want to emphasize more than anything else, it is critical that Americans in affected areas heed storm warnings and take the lead of your local officials.

I know that a lot of people are wondering how they’ll get through the coming days or months or even years, but I want everybody in Joplin, everybody in Missouri, everybody in Minnesota, everybody across the Midwest to know that we are here for you. The American people are by your side. We’re going to stay there until every home is repaired, until every neighborhood is rebuilt, until every business is back on its feet. That’s my commitment, and that’s the American people’s commitment.

Thanks very much.

So what you're indirectly saying is this isn't that big of a deal compared to 9/11 because the government can't take more of our rights away because of a tornado.

Funny what constitutes priority for these fake politicians/fake Christians.

Party on, Barrington.

BTW was that statement dated 24 May 2008?

No. Geeshus cripes, what an absurd segway.

He's a fake. A phony Christian. He's been to church like 3 times in 28 months.

He doesn't know what year it is half the time. Dude is in a zombie trance.

The pictures ive seen are un-real...will try to post

Bill Clinton made it to HAITI 6 days after the quake.


Not a good photo op in Joplin, eh? I wonder why?

[Riot]

And Obama was in Tuscaloosa 20 hours (edit: 2 days - can't piss off the Obama Haters here) after the tornado. I didn't notice you crediting him for that.

JFC. Obama's in Europe on a prescheduled diplomatic tour. It's not exactly like he can bail out on it. And if he did, what the hell could he do? He made sure the needed help was right there, in hours. Everyone (governors, etc) have praised him for the quick federal response to all the disasters this year. He'll be there Sunday.

What a pathetic excuse to hate on the President. That's all it is.

Like Cantor's outrageous public contention yesterday that signing emergency aid to the victims is contingent upon the Republican party getting the political concessions they want. I don't notice some getting all ticked off about that truly outrageous insult to the disaster victims.

What hypocrisy.

No wonder we are an embarassment on the world stage. Geeshus cripes.

I wasn't here. Not that a narcissist such as yourself would notice.

I commend Obama for going to Tuscaloosa. The added time by adding the extra stop on the Cape Canaveral photo op was appreciated. What a thoughtful man to go completely out of his way to stop by Tuscaloosa and comfort the people.

I'm not sure he was there 20 hours after the storm. I'm not very good at math. The storm happened on Wednesday afternoon and he was there Friday. Oh well I'm sure it adds up somehow. You're never wrong.

You are a wonderful person. That's why you deal with animals as a profession. You're just too good for humans. We can't take your sincerity and kindness.

Muah you big c.unt.
