| White House Denies Flood Assistance | ||
| 2010-07-05 | ||
Oklahomans affected by last month's record floods will not receive help from the federal government. Gov. Brad Henry announced in a news release that the White House has denied his request for disaster assistance. This means grant programs from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will not be available to residents. However, the news release said that the state is working to find other ways to help Oklahomans, including attempting to secure Small Business Association low-interest loans.

| #3 Chicago politics. Same reason Obastard is screwing the gulf coast states. They will not be voting for him so being the vindictive POS he is, he punishes them. The sooner this telegenic thug is gone from the presidency, the better. |

| #2 Oklahoma is a Choctaw indian word meaning "red people" American indians comprise 11% of the population while blacks are 8%, and hispanics 7.5%. I would estimate that over 80% of the population is of mixed heritage or claim to be. In MHO, some of the most beautiful (Choctaw+anglo) women in the world reside in OK. including my daughter in law and grand daughter. |

| #1 Henry is a democrat, despite the fact Obama lost all 77 counties, even those area which proudly state they "spray for republicans". The federal government prolly denied flood assistance because a large majority of the homes flooded were built in flood plains, which means even the federal government won't provide flood insurance, or assistance. |
