No Obama, He is Genocide

Vote against Obama, he is genocide, he is death. people in New York and New Jersey who were the most vulnerable to the effects of Super Storm Sandy also happen to be the same populations targeted for elimination under the brutal fascist austerity plans of President Barack Obama and his minions, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York's greenie billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg — the poor and the elderly. A number of the high-rise apartment buildings in both places that lost power were either low-income housing projects or housing for the elderly. When they lost power, elevators, air conditioning systems, lighting, refrigerators, and other appliances necessary for life in these structures all stopped functioning. Acquiring food and water suddenly became impossible. As of mid-day, today, five apartment buildings for senior citizens in Paterson, N.J., were still without power, reported the Bergen Record. As of Friday, there were nine high-rise buildings in Fort Lee without power and several more in Hackensack and Cliffside Park. Some have had emergency generators keeping the elevators operating, but in Edgewater, people have been living in buildings without any power at all. In one building in Fort Lee, many of the elderly residents have been congregating in the first floor lobby, but some are too frail to leave their apartments and need help. In New York City, a dozen people over the age of 65 died in the storm. According to an accounting by the Associated Press, they included a 90-year-old woman who died in her apartment on Coney Island; a 75-year-old woman in Manhattan's East Village who died after her oxygen supply was cut off when the power failed; an 82-year-old man killed by the rising water in Staten Island; an elderly couple who apparently drowned beside their car in a parking lot also on Staten Island, and there were others, too weary or frail to heed evacuation orders before the storm. Friday, Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), whose district is made up of a large part of Queens, told CNN's Erin Burnett that "No one on the peninsula from east to west has power." Fifty percent of Meeks' constituents live below the poverty line and most of them don't believe that they're getting the help they need (as on Staten Island). And, as Lyndon LaRouche pointed out Saturday, there are no plans among any of the current political leadership to take the necessary measures to mitigate the effects of such storms in the future. Bloomberg made that clear on Nov. 1, when he rejected calls for the construction of storm barriers for New York like the one that successfully protected Providence, R.I., from Sandy, last week.
