Did you know that Senator Obama voted against it?
Ten days before Obama bad mouthed the federal govt for treatment of Katrina blacks because of the failure of the Stafford act, Obama voted against the Stafford act. Why do you suppose he would do such a thing? Alzheimers or agenda?

Because he was as much of a hypocrite as a senator as he has been as president.

Wow, you are really going back in time. The Stafford act has been amended several times and is now called FEMA. Obama was correct to be critical of the governments treatment of the victims during Katrina, many people died because they were ignored for weeks. How do you know what Obama voted against where is your proof?

This sure looks like Obama voted against the funding mechanism for the Stafford Act. He was in the 14 that voted "nay", versus the 80 senators that voted "yea":

By the way, he made that vote shortly before he made the inflammatory statements at Hampton College to the conference of black religious figures.
He misled those ministers in 2007. And he's still trying the same games now, except now he tries to deceive the entire country.
