TODAY's Al Roker takes a look at a slow-moving storm set to hit the Northeast this week, bringing coastal wind gusts up to 55 mph, 2-4 inches of rain and dumping heavy snow in the mountains.
Updated at 6:26 p.m. ET: NEW YORK -- A week after Superstorm Sandy ravaged the New Jersey and New York coast lines, another challenge loomed Monday for the region: a slow-moving nor’easter, capable of delivering punishing amounts of wind, rain and snow.
"Though this storm will not have near the magnitude of the impact Sandy had, the combination of rain, wind and snow will add insult to injury for the recovery process along the East Coast," The Weather Channel’s Chris Dolce reported.
Starting in Florida Tuesday morning, the storm will move up the East Coast and into the Carolinas late in the day, TODAY Show Chief Meteorologist Al Roker said. By Wednesday morning, the storm will move into New Jersey with strong onshore wind gusts of more than 50 miles per hour and waves measuring 10 to 20 feet high. The storm could bring 2 to 4 inches of rainfall in the area as it makes its way into New England Thursday.
Full coverage of Sandy's aftermath
“Normally we wouldn’t worry about it, but this is a potentially dangerous storm only because when we’re talking about tides of 4 to 5 feet when you have almost no beaches and no dunes, that could be big problems all along the areas already affected by Sandy, and it may bring some more power lines down,” Roker said.
Behind the rain will be more cold air, Roker said, which means there is the potential for heavy amounts of snow in the White and Green Mountains in New England all the way back down to areas in West Virginia.

Residents of Rockaway, N.Y., stay warm by a fire during near-freezing temperatures on Sunday.
While more than a million people remained without power Monday, life was expected to return slowly to normal for many in the region ahead of the nor’easter. Still, a shortage of gas and overwhelmed transit systems remain problems.
The good news in New York City was that, unlike last week, service on key subway lines connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn under the East River was restored Monday, but sizeable legs of the region's public transportation network were still hobbled by storm. People stood for an hour or more on train platforms or street corners in New Jersey, Long Island and Connecticut waiting for trains and buses, only to find many of them already too crowded to board, Reuters reported.
Service on many rail and bus lines was reduced and the subway was running at about 80 percent of its normal service.
The commute from New Jersey was particularly trying.
As a Northeast Corridor Line train on the NJ Transit network pulled into Newark, passengers wondered aloud how the hundreds of passengers who crowded the platform would squeeze into the already-packed train.
A conductor banged on the window, signaling passengers to squeeze together more than they already were. "Move in! It's gonna be a tight fit," another conductor yelled. Still, there was no room for about half of the passengers in Newark.
"I'm taking Amtrak back this afternoon, so I don't have to deal with this," said Gabrielle Nader, a 27-year-old human resources professional who boarded in Trenton. "It's worse than a subway."
Nader, from northeast Philadelphia, said she had already made Amtrak reservations through Wednesday.

Problems getting fuel
Sandy — which killed more than 100 people in 10 states, caused massive power outages and left tens of thousands in need of emergency housing —disrupted supply to many gas stations, leading New Jersey to enforce odd-even rationing for motorists.

Local residents salvage food from bags thrown out of a flooded store on Coney Island on Sunday.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie tried to reassure people that refineries and pipelines were back online and gas was being delivered. "We do not have a fuel shortage," he said at a news conference on Sunday.
Fuel shortage expected to last for days, Cuomo says
There was no rationing in New York City, where the search for gas became a maddening scavenger hunt over the weekend.
Manhattan doorman Iver Sanchez, who lives in Queens, waited at an Upper West Side gas station for three hours and still had a long line of cars ahead of him.
"If I don't get gas today, I won't be able to get any for the rest of the week," he said.
In the Bronx, a Citgo station had received gas early Saturday evening, but within seven hours had run through a supply which usually lasts two to three days, said gas attendant Nagi Singh.
"A lot of people were angry with me," he said.
Cops: 2 arrested over alleged gas hoarding
New York City has spent $85.4 million so far on emergency contracts in response to Sandy, city Comptroller John Liu said on Monday. The repair of damaged beaches, from Manhattan to Coney Island and the Rockaways, was the single highest item, totaling nearly $30.4 million so far.
"Together, we have made a lot of progress, but we know the road ahead will be long and recovery will take time," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said during a visit to New York on Monday.
In New Jersey, Monday promised to begin the return to some everyday activities. About half the school districts reported they will reopen and New Jersey Transit said it would have more train and bus service restored in time for the workweek. Philadelphia's transit authority loaned 31 buses that New Jersey Transit planned to use to support shuttle service for commuters traveling to New York City.

Superstorm Sandy made landfall Monday evening on a destructive and deadly path across the Northeast.
The challenges were more severe for tens of thousands of people unable to return to their homes and many more than that living without power or heat. Some 1.35 million homes and businesses remained in the dark on Monday due to damages from the storm, down by about 500,000 from Sunday, the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability said.
Bloomberg said Sunday that 30,000 to 40,000 people in New York City were in need of shelter, including 20,000 in public housing. The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it has already dispensed close to $200 million in emergency housing assistance.
Temperatures will remain chilly in the days ahead, according to The Weather Channel. Highs in the 40s or low 50s will be commonplace through Wednesday. Some interior and New England locations may not get out of the 30s, it said.
Concerns are also growing that voters displaced by Sandy will not get to polling stations on Election Day on Tuesday. Scores of voting centers were rendered useless by the record surge of seawater in New York and New Jersey.
New Jersey has said it will allow people displaced by the storm to vote by email. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order allowing displaced voters to cast ballots by affidavit at any polling site they can reach Tuesday. Both states are normally easy wins for the Democrats.
In Highlands, a blue collar fishing town, 1,200 homes were flooded, including the mayor's. The federal government has pledged to pay for housing in the region. Meanwhile in New York, transit returns on line. NBC's Michelle Franzen reports.

You mean all that destruction wasn't global warming it was global cooling? Is Obama getting some frost on his nose??
Global warming was the original term, but later they decided global climate change was a better term. The overall global temperature is rising and trending upwards, but that doesn't mean there aren't going to be events that involve cold, or places that get colder as a result. In particular, things tend to get colder in this season we have called winter. You may have heard of it. Anyhow, global warming has just caught on better than Global Climate Change, but that latter would be a bit more accurate. Either way, you can't deny things are changing. I have a hard time believing that with all the crap we put into the air, that there could be absolutely no impact of any sort. And then we see more and more of these "freak storms" that are forming. All of these supposed 100 year events are getting more and more frequent. And all the violent tornadoes in the past few years. Deadly tornadic events have been increasing at an alarming rate. At this point, I don't understand how a person could have any objectivity at all and still ignore the signs and scientific evidence.
But it's more convenient to ignore it and call it a democratic conspiracy, because doing something about it involves time, effort, and spending money. Well, at least it is more convenient to ignore it until too many of these freak events run over where you live. To each their own, I guess. Just don't complain when it happens to you.
This isn't the first time the Progressives have attempted to take over our Energy Industry with this " Anthropomorphic Climate Change" idiocy! They tried to convince us back in the '70's that we were going to suffer a "New Ice Age" back then! In fact, according to them then, even now New York City is under an Ice Sheet over a half a mile thick, even as we speak!
The phenomanon is explained by what they term " The Chandler Wobble" and it has been happenning in 41,000 year cycles since the beginning of time and has nothing to do with any "Man-Made" climate change!
I'm not a progressive, liberal, or even a democrat. Nor am I a Republican. I'm an Independent. But you may be confused because I believe in disaster aid and hate Romney because I lived with him as Governor of the state I was living in. I also do believe in global warming, or if you read my comment the more appropriate GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE term. And since you clearly didn't read my first comment, let me explain why in a better way: Common sense.
1. Which is more likely: Are we putting all that crap in the air, and it has some impact on something in the climate in some way? Or does all that stuff just somehow not do anything.
I have a hard time believing that there is no effect whatsoever. We put far too much stuff in our air for their not to be some effect. Everything effects something. I can't see why this would all of a sudden be an exception. Just the fact that there would be some change, global climate change or not, seems almost certain. And if there is change in our atmosophere (where we release all this stuff into and where weather happens), there is a good chance this change effects climate and weather somehow.
2. What is more likely: All the work, research, and data done from scientists all across the globe that all point to the same thing has at least some truth to it, or it is a democratic conspiracy meant to accomplish something umm... I don't know... liberal?
I think this one is fairly obvious. All the data from Scientists all across the globe suggest this is real. And no, all across the globe does not mean just the only the ones supposedly working for the democratic party of the United States of America. You can't just discredit all the studies and research that have been done by scientists all across the globe simply by shouting, "LIBERAL CONSPIRACY!" or something to that effect to every single study that comes out. Scientific views do change from time to time, and are sometimes disproved. But crying fowl with no evidence to back it up is not anything that disproves these claims.
3. Who do you believe: The guy whose job is to research weather and the scientific impact our society may have on it, or the guy whose job is to be a party biased talking head and blames it on the other party when something is inconvenient?
I believe in science, not the one who is paid to be a biased talking head for their political party. Too many scientific studies all over the world have come out this way for it to really be a democratic conspiracy. They can't all be democrat biased.
4. What is more likely? Are all the increasingly frequent, exotic, and more powerful weather events a coincidence? Or are they a democratic conspiracy to mess with the election or something? Or is global climate change to blame?
This is not hard to figure out. Humans can't control the weather. It isn't the conspiracy option. There have been too many of these storms now for me to believe it is a coincidence. Cause and effect seems the most logical option here.
5. What is more likely: Is it is some sinister liberal plot? Or would people rather not admit global climate change is real because that would make things harder if it did? And would the people who don't want it then try to discredit those who do?
Well let's see, acknowledging this exists means we have to address it. That takes time, effort, and spending money to do this. But if it doesn't exist, than we don't have to bother with it. This is particularly true in Republican backed businesses who would much rather not spend the money, resources, and time to be a bit cleaner and environmentally friendly. So it seems likely many people would rather deny this. It also is logical that a good way to discredit someone (well if you don't have enough evidence to do it properly) is to slander their reputation by calling it a conspiracy.
What did we learn?
It isn't hard to piece together that it is overwhelmingly likely there is at least some truth to this. Common sense. All you have to do use the brain God gave you. Just look at both sides and compare them. People like you tedcrawford, have been saying this is a democratic/liberal/progressive/etc. conspiracy for years, but when you look at both sides everything points otherwise. I have no use for parties, because I believe it divides our nation and distracts us from the actual issues. But I believe in global climate change because there is an excellent argument supporting it, plenty of signs around us to back it up, and not much that can really discredit it. Scientists know how it works, and they can explain it as easily as they can the water cycle. Anyone who doesn't believe in this global climate change is either ignorant, in denial, or both. No offense, but there is too much for it and not nearly enough of substance against it.
OBAMA
Responsible...For ..GLOBAL...B.u.l.l. Shy-tte
Actually, it was kind of made famous by a guy name Al Gore. In case you didn't know, that was not Obama...
People have had to resort to picking food out of dumpsters. Neither Obama or the Federal government have done a damn thing to help these people. His trip to Jersey was a photo opportunity and nothing more. He has long forgotten about NY and NJ. The sad part is these two states will vote for him.you reap what you sew!
You obviously haven't been paying attention.
I find it funny that the same people who cry for the government to get out of their lives and to scrap "unnecessary bloated federal agencies" like FEMA are often the first ones to cry for help and complain it isn't coming fast enough. Some of the things I read and here (including a few of the comments on here) are just silly. You can't have it both ways. Do you want to federal government to help you, or do you want to succeed from the country and live in your own little bubble? And if you choose the bubble, don't come crying to us when something like a hurricane runs over your town because that's what you said you wanted: Government to stay out of your life. Yet when something happens, the same people who cry for small government and "no free handouts" can't get theirs fast enough. They ask why isn't my government protecting me, and why is it taking so long? I don't know, because maybe it takes time because it is a natural disaster that affected a third of the country? Such hypocrisy disgusts me.
Honestly, people in the United States these days don't know how lucky they are. We have become a bunch of over-entitled crybabies. For all the faults of our federal government, and there are so many faults it makes me nauseous, it is still much better here than many other places in the world who don't even have a government that supports them. A disaster like this happens in some third world country, and people are left on their own to struggle and probably die. That isn't really what you small government people want, is it?
As for this latest storm, the timing is awful. I hope it doesn't create too many more problems for the people who were already victims of Sandy. I imagine the greatest threat is to those without power.
FEMA is a coordinating office only at a price tag of $500,000,000,000 a year. It is redundant and unnecessary.
At the most it should be 1/1,000,000 the budget.
I don't know if you have heard of this yet, but there was this thing called Hurricane Sandy that ran over the East Coast. Yeah, it was sort of a NATURAL DISASTER!!!!! Anyway, disasters like Sandy, the EF-5 Joplin Tornado, and Katrina do happen sometimes. So it is a good idea to have a fund to pay for disaster relief, which can be kind of expensive. Unless of course you think you can fund the disaster relief and recovery of Hurricane Sandy by yourself, in which by all means you can go ahead and try. You know, there is a reason why the government pays for things like this.
What's so very hard to understand here? Yes, they did fight against the establishment of many of these "funds" and "safety-net" programs. They, however were outvoted and they were established and the monies withdrawn from the taxpayers. That being the case, they are simply trying to get whatever small return they can on their forced contributions! Only a complete fool would do otherwise!
Had involvement in these programs been on a voluntary basis and had they chosen NOT to donate and then come with their hands out, you would have a case! As it is you do not!
Yeah, I'm sure had they not been supposedly "forced" to contribute to things like FEMA, that they wouldn't need any help after a disaster from the feds. No Government handouts! Please... You think the States can afford to pay for ALL the damage? Insurance can't either, even if everything damaged was insured (and it isn't) entirely. You have to have a central government to do things.
Donations can't cover it all, and even if it could (and it can't because the disaster relief and damage recovery is simply too costly) they can't be acted on as quickly as the feds can in an emergency. Is there waste in Government spending? Sure. But they do a lot more than just provide gas. And even gasoline is an important thing to have if you plan to drive to work, for those who still have places to go to work to. You know, so they can draw a salary again if they are one of the lucky ones who still can. It is FEMA who is often first in disaster zones in the USA, just like they did when they supplied trailers to people who lost there homes in Greensburg, Kansas to a monster EF5 Tornado a few years back. I know I would want organizations like FEMA there for me if I had to live through something awful like that.
I'll be the first to admit the government needs some streamlining and reformation. My gripe is that there is only extremes these days. All or nothing points of views that say do away with everything up to and including disaster relief, or keep everything grossly inefficient. Maybe FEMA can be made more efficient, as well. But to think there are those who want to get rid of disaster aid, particularly with the increase in those we've had, is mind boggling. And if anything, FEMA is underfunded with all the disasters we have had lately. I wonder if people truly realize everything that FEMA does for many of these people. And if they don't realize, they need to take another look.
The Obama administration just raped the "good" out of FEMA and replaced it with bureaucrats, it is on their website.
You clearly missed the part in my comment about the good FEMA does. Not did, but STILL DOES like in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Maybe I wasn't clear enough?
With all the empty military bases around they can't find room to put people for a while?
Ten years ago, GM sent our troops into battle in
Afghanistan and Iraq in Humvees that GM Knew did
not have heavy enough armor to withstand the
explosion of an IED, and got hundreds of our soldiers
killed. Barack Obama rewarded GM with a Five Hundred
Billion Dollar Bailout. From Wallstreet Banks to
Wallstreet insurance companies to Wallstreet Mortgage
brokerages to Wallstreet credit card hounds,
time and again, we have seen Barack Obama reward
failure, with excuses and bailouts.
How many months did he sit on his hands and wait for
British Petroleum to stop the Deep Horizon oil spill?
It took a congressional investigation to stop him selling
arms to Mexican Drug Lords. It took another congressional
investigation to beef up security at our embassies.
Yes we Can has turned into Oh No He Di'n't.
We no longer reward athletes and pass them, just for
showing up in class, we no longer reward students and
pass them just for showing up in school. What kind of
lesson do we teach our kids, when we reward a president,
just for showing up at a disaster? Like the victims on
the Gulf of Mexico, the victims of Sandy are beginning
to realize that a president's presence, alone, is not
enough.
How long will the American voter reward failure; four,
more, long, years?
first of all the wall street bailouts were from bush. i know this is hard to remember Obama bailed out the auto industry ( because millions of americans rely on them for jobs) and bush bailed out wall street. And yes gas is important it fuels your generator whch can enable you to stay in your house and have heat, water (for those with wells), and cook your food. As for the people turned away, that is just a flat out lie. My guess is people who were to lazy to come help but wanted to look good. And i dont see you blaming the republican gov of the state was supposed to have happened. You do after all want the states responsible not the fed right????
GM didn't send out Humvees without armour, Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush ORDERED them that way, and then they put them on a boat and sent them to Iraq because they were is such a big hurry to play war with American lives.
Not to worry New Jersey, just send your overweight, incompetent, panic strickened, teary eyed Governor to Obama. He will promise, once again, to kiss designated bodyparts and get you some more Obama money! You do need to do it today, however, tomorrow will be too late!
You mean our Republican governor who many wanted to run for president???? The key note speaker at the convention.
Yes that is the one! I have to admit you Progressives had him pegged! Of course you guys are used to those types. Conservative demand more from ours!
If you good folks of New Jersey wish to keep him, that's up to you. Should he ever decide to take his act to the National Stage, I and many other Conservative will begin a rapid and vigorous, effort to keep him out!
Wouldn't want to be a human being and pray for the victims, would we? No! Let's kick them while they are down, just like every single person in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, etc. did to poor people like ferrellrooster in New Orleans during Katrina. Yep, all anyone ever did during Katrina was make fun of New Orleans. No one sent any aid, or provided shelter to any uprooted victims, or anything else even remotely nice. They just laughed at him, because that is clearly what happened. Every single outsider just made fun of them for getting run over by a historically catastrophic hurricane. Thanks a lot, Obama!
Seriously, I think some people need to start actually using the brains they were born with. Like, even a little? And maybe a little humanity while we are at it?
Just like they ignore the fact that Christie, a big time Romney supporter and star or the Republican party. Has praised Obama for his handling of this.
If one considers the panic stricken pandering of an incompetent Governor as "praise" more's the pity!
Yeah. He's so incompetent he ignored his party to help the people in his state, which was run over by the heart of Sandy. How selfish and panic stricken of him to do that, and not be a mindless Republican party agenda driven drone during this crisis. I mean god forbid we give him credit for trying to get help for those people. But no bias ted, right?
"I have got a lot worse in store for you children if you elect that Mormon president"
signed GOD, ( you know, the one who blesses America)
I really feel bad for some of these people. I was without power for 3 days in Pa. and hated every minute. Some of these people lost their homes, I only lost power. Plus the weather is turning colder. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Why did FEMA cut all of its support divisions in 2012 to be replaced with bureaucrats?
http://www.fema.gov/pdf/about/budget/11a_fema_salaries_expenses_dhs_fy13_cj.pdf
This is FEMA's website and you can read page 4 and see what was done yourself.
When you have a single fuel source then expect fuel shortages or inability to get fuel to people.
If it was up to right wingers we would have no subways, only cars and trucks, as they burn more gas per person.
It is kinda funny to watch folks fighting over gasoline. Would you care for alternative fuels? NO!!!
Mass transportation? NO!!
Solar? No!!
Hydrogen? No!
Biofuels? No!
Solar houses? No!
Wind generated? No!
Anything other than gas? No! Ok... Bye.
People should learn to be self sufficient and personally responsible.
Ok..
What now? WHERE IS OBAMA?? HEEEELLLPPPP
Listen To Rush folks, he has the answers. He will tell you that this storm was much ado about nothing. Liberals making much over nothing and this was before it hit.
I'm assuming many listened to the uneducated fat man and stayed put...hilarious.
Flood insurance? Who offers flood insurance? I need help anyone know a private insurance company that offers flood insurance and dock insurance, inexpensive?
Let us pray. Not about the storms..but for the idiots who post online!
Hey,,,I dislike Obama immensley. In fact, I loathe him! But we don't "poop" on the President of the United States of America!!!
As thinking citizens of this great country, let's just make some changes tomorrow!
All this misery must make the bush family happy. The smirking chimp george dumbya and his dad herbert, preaching we need a new world order.
It was shameful to see those two seniors out scrounging for food in the photo. That's what bush turned America into with his war on America, and war on rest of the world. Not to mention letting the jackals at the FED print money out of thin air to further weaken america and make america a third world country. Why are the crooks at the FED charging americans interest over money they are printing out of thin air ???
Americans don't even see the locomotive bearing down on them. Prepare for misery and pain ahead. Thanks bush you rat.
I WOULD have given your little blurb some thought. But your cutesy "dumbya" stuff is more fitting on a playground in grade school. Grow up!
Immediately everyone cares about the northeastern part of the U.S. because the entire enconomy depends on all the financial power that exists there, but people are still suffering poverty and deprivation in the southeastern part of the the U.S. because of Katrina and the rest of the country can function quite well witout them. I believe in being politically neutral. The only reason I point this fact out is so you can see that someday this system that we live in is coming to an end, and the country we live in is the last world power. When all, is said and done, some people will have lived priviledged lives, while others will have been considered expendable by those who have had the power to run this world under Satan the Devil, the angel who led our parents Adam and Eve into rebellion against our Creator in the,"Garden of Eden". The things we see happening are a composite sign of the end of Satan's World when all wicked things and people will be destroyed by Christ and his angels. After that happens the few survivors will start making the earth into a paradise under God's Kingdom, that is the Kingdom people pray for in the,"Lord's Prayer". That Kingdom will be ruled by Christ and 144,000 co-rulers like the book of Revelation says for one thousand years. During that one thousand years people will be brought back from the dead and they will choose if they will serve God or die. At the end of the Thousand year reign of Christ and his co-rulers, Satan will be let loose from the Abyss and will mislead some into rebellion, but it will be the last rebellion ever, because the rebels and Satan will all be destroyed for all eternity and there will never be any rebellion allowed in the universe again for all eternity. All the challenges that Satan raised against God will have been answered and God will never allow a rebellion again for all eternity.
Two weeks before Sandy hit they knew it could hit the east coast BAD. FEMA did nothing to prepare: A typical federal government SNAFU.
Hospital Generators failed: A typical mismanaged hospital and of course the EPA wouldn't allow enough fuel to be stored to run the generators. Another typical federal government SNAFU.
Mayor Bloombery: A typical horrible politician who is clueless about the duties of the office. Rudy Giuliani would have been prepared.
Obama: Tours a New Jersey beach and promises things he has no idea how to solve. Obama's promises! He's never delivered on anything he's ever promised for the good of this country. Only things that were good for his voters, and backers.
Forced Abamacare on citizens, and opted the politicians out, because they're tax payer health care plan is the best that money can buy. Obama's health care will cost the average citizen $2500 a year. If the government says 2500, you can be sure it will be double that. We know who is voting for Obama. The greedy ones who want free money, housing, food and money for each of the childern. The simple minded, who think windmills and solar panels can power the nation.
Then there are all the solor energy companies that have gone broke after borrowing billions of dollars from the government through and stealling money through grants.
No one can actually look in the mirror and say they believe what Obama's promising them, or that he's honest, and has their best interest in mind.
If Obama is reelected, GM will need bailed out again, because there automobiles suck and I for one wouldn't buy anything with a GM sticker on it. There electric Volt is yet another Yugo!
The UAW workers make twice what the compititions workers make. So it's no wonder the can't build a good car. All the money goes to the union, no room for a quality product. This happened back in the 70's with the steel mill workers, but as long as they can grub and sponge off the government they'll NEVER admit that they ARE he problem, not the solution.
Just remember, UAW workers, when you go to work and make $70-75 an hour that your children and grand children will end up paying for you bail-out. That should make you feel warn a fuzzy all over. My brother-in-law worked in the steel mills when he was young. He retired as a janitor!
In order to understant the future, you need to know a bit about history. Jimmy Carter and the clean act cost us the steel industry. Obama and the EPA regulators have cost us millions of jobs in the past four years. It's not by accident it's by design. He spent college years in Moscow Russia. What you think he was studing, American History and Democracy? He knows one thing about math really well. How to divide us. He knows how to conquer us. But the simple minded wouldn't realize it until the day after. What do you think he'll do after that. Well, his buddy Biily Aryer and the Weatherman know, that once they take over they need to get rid of several million people? Who do you supposed they'll get rid of first. The lazy, the greedy, and helpless who really need welfare.
The public teachers union and inept teachers hate the GOP, because they want the teachers who have the ability to teach. Good teachers want to teach, good students want to learn, and good parents care. Obama is all for them, while he sends his daughter to a private. What a hypocrite!
Yes, face the facts and NOT Obama's yet more false promises and rhetoric. It's easy to know when he's lying..... his lips are moving.
Govenor Romney has started took Massachusetts out of debt and cleaned up the corruption.
He saved the corrupt Olympics.
He has accomplished, he has a record of achievement.
You can steal, be greedy, and be corrupt and you will vote for Obama. Just remember, your children are going to end up paying for it all.
First of all look up the definition of the word, then go vote your conscience!
Precisely why I live in Arizona!
Didn't you people have a couple of monster dust storms recently? As a survivor of Sandy in NJ, I can tell you that it was not fun. The national media didn't even come close on the devastation. Seaside Heights, one of our premier boardwalk and tourist sites is gone. The roller coaster is sitting in the ocean and everywhere you look, there is ruin and destruction. Staten Island took the hit with us.
maybe they can move the generators and all the other supplies
sitting in central park to the worst spots that need them
Hey Fred, I see you box all people who are needy into a category, as though they have some kind of agenda, other than being in a difficult human condition. Like I said, I am pollitically neutral. I care about all people on this earth. Politics and religion devide people. I believe in what the Bible teaches, but I see there are thousands of religions that cause war and death. It's the same with potitics. Politics causes war and death. In the near future the Governments are going to see that religion causes war and death and the all the governments of the earth led by the United Nations are going to destroy all religion, except they will not be able to destroy the only true religion on the earth, but they will try, and that will bring on Armagedon. At that time this world will go to war with our Creator and all who are on the side of this world will die, and the people of the true religion will survive that conflict called in the book of Revelation,"The War of The Great Day of God The Almighty". At that war there will only be a few million survivors who were serving God the way he instructs us up to that conflict in his instructions to humankind, in the Bible.

Blue states deserve what they get for voting for obama.
You'll deserve what you get for voting Romney if he somehow wins. It's only "fair and balanced" that you would. Prick.
And coincidentally, Tornado Alley falls smack in the middle of the red states.
Well put "god",the red states get far more crap than the blue.And the funnier thing is that"far and balanced",most likely falls in the lower middle class category,and should be voting demecrat anyway.So if Romney gets in,which is not going to happen,he is going to s...h...i....t..all over Mr.Fairandbalanced and he is going to wipe Romney's azz,hahaha.
