Disaster victims still awaiting rebuilding funds were told today that the $25 million pledged by the Obama administration to help fund relief was in vain

Disaster victims still awaiting rebuilding funds were told today that the $25 million pledged by the Obama administration to help fund relief was in vain.

U.S. President Barack Obama’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) had promised to distribute $25 million to victims of the disaster, but has yet to deliver on its commitment.

Today Ob바카라사이트ama was forced to admit that while he wanted the money, he did not have the authority to do it.

“I didn’t have the authority to give this money until the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Federal Disaster Relief Act,” Obama said. “As a result, the assistance to affected people has been delayed. It’s frustrating, but we’re still waiting for our money.”

The federal agency that administers the FEMA program, the U.S. Secret S우리카지노ervice, would not confirm whether the funds have actually arrived. According to the New York Daily News, it took FEMA two weeks to reach out to the victims after the agency launched its $25 million request.

Obama did admit the delayed assistance to the victims of Hurricanes Irene and Rita was not his fault and the disaster does not reflect poorly on him in any way.

“This year has been a bad year for FEMA,” he said. “I will never forget Katrina when it happened. And Hurricane Sandy. This is not unusual.”

It is not the first time a president has been compelled to deny the truth about the crisis.

After Hurricane Sandy devastated the Eastern seaboard of the United States on October 29, 2013, it was reported tha더킹카지노t “in response to disaster relief requests from the FEMA, FEMA has approved a total of $21 billion in relief for the victims of hurricane Sandy” but there has not been enough money, despite $12 billion in requests by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to a report by CBS News.

Despite the reports of a lack of funds, the president has repeatedly claimed that the aid was being spent “more responsibly, faster and more effectively.” This claim is simply not true, as CBS reported that as of October 2015, less than a penny of the $25 billion in relief was spent.
