If any adminstration started to take the plight of the 9/11 first responders seriously, they would eventually find themselves’ asking, ” how did concrete and asbestos get to be so small as to enter into people’s bloodstream, bypassing the lungs altogether? ” Of course, that’s assuming they don’t already have an idea of what caused all those buildings’ materials to be pulverized, or exploded, within seconds of collapse initiation.
The horrible reality is that the number of deaths from toxic air quality on 9/11 and following months will far outweigh the number of deaths on 9/11.

Jennifer McNamara wants to honor her late husband’s dying wish and give the city firefighter’s badge to President Obama.
Only, she’s no longer sure she should.
Or that John McNamara, who spent 500 hours at Ground Zero and died last August of cancer at the age of 44, would think Obama still deserves it.
Her problem: She and her husband believed in the President, voted for him, and believed he would ensure the feds passed a law to permanently care for others who answered the call after 9/11.
She began having doubts in December, when key politicians backed away from promises to pass the funding. She went to the Daily News for help reaching the White House to explain her agonizing dilemma.
“I wish he would just support this,” McNamara said of the President. “Then I could give him the badge in good conscience. I’d like to know that it’s meaningful to him.”
