Christie is a JUDAS! Right-wing comments go hateful nuts on NJ Gov. Christie for praising Obama's leadership

re: #7 wheat-dogg

One of the refrains I keep seeing in this comments is that Obama is somehow handing out other people’s money to disaster victims, which I suppose to a freeper means the family whose house was just demolished are somehow freeloaders and Obama is somehow an empty suit.

I can’t tell if they’re pissed because it’s Obama making the speeches and appearances, or if they resent disaster victims getting federal money, or both. Either way, it makes no damn sense to me. What idiot expects the president to be handing out his own money, when there are funds in the federal government set aside for disaster relief? What idiot expects the president to sit idly by while millions of people are suffering from a natural disaster? (If he had, they’d bitch about that, too.) What idiot complains when a disaster victim gets federal assistance, which is after all just a tiny percentage of the total US budget?

Well, I know the answer to the questions: the kind of idiots who post at Free Republic. They’re afflicted with severe ODS and a hyper-Randian case of “I’m OK, so fuck you.”

I think this about sums up their way of thinking.
