Kentucky Needs Obama Now

It was obvious that certain things could spell the demise of President Obama’s recovery plan, and that is beyond Republicans. I was thinking about somewhat unpredictable elements, such as more terrorist attacks, infrastructure failures, or how about just nature? Several states still need help after terrible storms hit last week. Kentucky needs aid faster, as costs go beyond $45 million. The National Guard is working continuously to help these people. Many cities and counties have declared a state of emergency already. The federal government has helped, but can they manage to do more?
I know that the economic financial crisis is not directly connected to the financial issues involved here, but if you look at everything in the larger picture, this issue can have huge effects in other areas. President Obama must devote time and thought to these states, as well as many of his aids. Money must be used to get all these things done to help the powerless. This is a test of keeping priorities straight and knowing your resources. Many will say that this is no big deal, and that the country can afford to help the few states that need help and get the the economic recovery package out there. And will these people say that for every disaster that comes along? It all adds up.
