Boehner now vows to bail out Sandy victims!

Speaker John Boehner has assured New York and New Jersey lawmakers that the House will vote on a massive aid package for Superstorm Sandy victims by Jan. 15, after facing bipartisan outrage over a decision late Tuesday to postpone the vote until the next session.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., who earlier in the day lambasted party leaders for the move, reported after a closed-door meeting with the speaker that they were told the House would vote Friday on a $9 billion flood insurance measure, followed by a vote on a $51 billion aid bill Jan. 15. 

My thoughts: But hold on just one political minute! What about them promises (abet tacitly) made to the fair City of Detroit? I’d heard that they had all voted for Obama under the assumption that a bail-out for this city (which is in very deep financial trouble) like gonna happen! So far, they've gotten what – zilch!

Right this minute, Mr. President, a virtual river of cash is needed all over the country as the infrastructure begins crumbling in earnest! Where o where will it come from? Your stash?

[A note to the US Congress – uh dudes, like your house is totally on fire!]
