      <![CDATA[In an effort to not politicize this disaster, I'm wondering if we could continue this discussion on another thread. I also agree with much of what TT says and I am fairly certain that most that now call for respect of the office of POTUS were not so offended when Bush was being vilified.

      <![CDATA[K...it was not like Obama was not going to approve those funds...we are a swing state and he needs to buy our votes with our money...those funds come from mandates passed by congress, not discretionary money from the Obama own largess.<br>
<br>
Every time Air Force One takes off it costs taxpayers $8,000,000. Again...our money being used by Obama to get re-elected.<br>
<br>
If the man is re-elected, America as we know it will be destroyed...starting with our medical care, followed closely by our liberties.<br>
<br>
And to Sally Clark, she and her buddy signed a document prepared by the county attorney that they were told to sign, to get federal funds that had to be distributed...so they did nothing really, and that nothing does not require a TV appearance.

      <![CDATA[On a lighter note, MSNBC sent a reporter here to cover the fire and the president's visit. He told the anchorman in NYC that the fire is 15% contained, and anchor asked, "Are there any plans to move that number to 30--50% contained?"<br>

Duh...

<br>
The president has declared the Waldo Canyon fire an official disaster clearing the way for federal funds to flow to the community.

Had she not been there her political opponents would be ranting about her lack of compassion and involvement, instead of her camera face time.

<br>
This was indeed a tragedy beyond belief for all involved yet was handled in a most thorough and professional manner and an example of government working together with the private sector for the well being of the public.<br>
<br>
Your comment about Sallie Clark and Amy Lathen seem to be spot on. They milked this tragedy for personal 'face time' with the press right before the primary in a manner that would make Al Sharpton look like an amateur.<br>
<br>
For those who share our concerns about the level of competency re: fiscal policy and the financial future of the entire region who would like to assist in the effort to defeat Sallie Clark in November, please log on and volunteer for this effort.<br>

<br>
But there has been a hint of what might destroy America in the long haul...an over extension of government authority.

      <![CDATA[WHY doesn't anyone challenge our officials with questions such as - "Why were we lied to and told that it was only "several homes" that were impacted by the fire in Mountain Shadows?", "Why did we have to wait so long to be told how many homes were actually destroyed by the fire?", "How come county commissioners had a tour of Mountain Shadows since the destruction and yet it is not safe enough for homeowners to go back to see their own neighborhood?"<br>
The arrogance displayed by these officials is beyond words.
