The President and the hurricane

[cobber]

Prior to the RNC, Democrat talking heads were suggesting that the GOP should postpone the convention due to the proximity of Isaac...

Now that the storm has blown through, and folks are flooded out and without electricity, where is the Prez exactly? Texas? Iowa?

Oh, he's going on Monday. I suppose the folks there won't mind waiting another day, can't get in the way of his campaigning, can we?

When does that pinhead inject any sense of urgency into anything not involving his own personal gratification?

I think Mitt beat him to Louisiana actually.

The dems beat up on Bush for not landing after Katrina. But the fact was he didn't wanna interrupt local and fed officials by landing. If he would have landed many of the resources would have been diverted for his arrival.

And on that note, while we can contrast the Dems of 2005 with their position today, let's not forget that Obama is in the same situation today that GW Bush was in 2005 - except, of course, for the extent of the disaster then compared to now.

And please, let's not forget that the exact same system of assistance was deployed in the exact same way in 2012 as it was in 2005, except it took Obama longer to declare disaster emergencies in Louisiana and Mississippi and, of course, there aren't any complaints about the "lack of timely response" this time in the MSM.

Bush may not be on my top ten list, but he did understand the value of not making an obstacle of himself unlike his predecessor (think haircut on the tarmac) or his successor. On a similar note, I was favorably impressed with his habit of not traveling on holidays so the Secret Service personnel not on duty at the time could be with their families.

I think Bush should visit Louisiana, and joke with the media that even he got there before the O.

Brilliant!

and bring his parents and shovels and start working

That sure would be something to see if a President went and did any physical labor to help

So Obama is going to fund raisers and partying with his Hollywood friends while people are suffering? I am shocked this isn't being talked about by the MSM!
