1500 Still Missing, 100's Dead, Floods, Etc..

firstdown, I think most people know that I am fully independent when it comes to politics, so I'm going out on a limb to ask you this... were you saying the same things about Bush during Katrina? Not a whole lot of discussion here, just some more hate-mongering.

And in case you think this is slanted, I would have said the same thing during Bush's presidency.

Why would those things be said about Bush, he was on U.S. soil and very involved in the relief effort? He flew over N.O. two days later and was on the ground in 5.

That being said, I'm assuming that Obama has been briefed, responded to, and authorized any requests from state/local authorities. There's not a heck of a lot he can do, so I'm not bashing him for not returning to the U.S. But I will say his first priority when he returns should be to visit these sites.

I agree with the bolded statement....nothing to see here...move along.

Because mother nature cannot be predicted with much accuracy. She does what she wants, when she wants.

Hey, at least Obama wasn't give a 5 day warning of natural disaster and STILL took over two days to get help in even after he was briefed and warned the levies probably would break.

Bush Warned about Katrina
(fast forward to 1:49 if you want to hear Bush acknowledge FEMAs warning on the hurricane debriefing and claimed they were ready to move in)

WRONG. He didn't do shit until people were in a uproar. Stop defending this idiot. Furthermore, I find it ironic that you guys are bashing Obama, but he's Presidency so far has mirrored Bush's to a T. It's like Bush got his third term.


Obama:
1) Gitmo still opened and even opened another prison (check)
2) Tax cuts to rich (check)
3) Keep troops in Iraq (check)
4) Renew Patriot Act (check)
5) Start a war (check)
6) Ignore his own countrymen after a natural disaster (check)

The guys are almost identical that it's not even funny. Hell, the only difference is that Obama wanted to institute a national health care plan. Stop with this stupid Repubs vs Libs shit. It's ignorant and you are in fact a big reason why the US is failing if you keep supporting these idiots.

I'm mocking the left and what they said about Bush when Katrina hit. Now when the shoe is on the other foot no one seems to care that Obama is doing nothing. The good news is now they say only 232 are missing which sucks but its much better then the 1500.
