Reality_Check_t: Get a life! Surprised you haven't blamed the president for causing the hurricane, along with earthquakes and tsunamis. You are entitled to an opinion, and even to be an arse, but really you are wayyyyy oooouuuuttt.

Maybe that is what Obama told the Navy Seals who died in Libya.

Do nothing and keep watching the internet for instructionsm, I am going to be now.

Obama spends billions on FEMA preparing for huricanes, yet no one told those federal employees that radios, battery powered or cranked, are the only reliable, widely available, means of distributing information during a hurricane, or other emergency.

Telephone land lines are, of course, the second most reliable communications system.

But of course the Obama administration ommitted all mention of using radios or telephones to get information ( except calling 911 ). Instead Obama, and his FEMA savants, provided websites, face book pages, and the suggestion of watching TV to get your information.

DUH, computers, wireless routers, cable modems, DSL modems, and cell phones with dead batteries do not work when the power goes out. Laptops, even if their batteries are not dead, also do not work for visiting websites or facebook when the wireless modems, cable modems and DSL modems turned off with the electrical power outage.

Again, DUH, Obama.
