USA Today reporter calls border crisis Obama’s ‘Katrina moment’

MSNBC panelists on Monday seemed puzzled by the president’s refusal to visit the U.S.-Mexico border while he fundraises in Texas, with USA Today reporter Susan Page calling the decision Mr. Obama's “Katrina moment.”

Appearing on “The Daily Rundown,” Carolyn Ryan of The New York Times argued that the crisis on the border, in which thousands of immigrants are crossing illegally in record numbers, goes to question the president’s competence.

“You can see that 30-second TV ad,” host Chuck Todd added, The Washington Free Beacon reported. “You start with the health care rollout. You go to the VA. You go to Syria. You go to Iraq. And you can go to the border. And you can draw a straight line.”

“This is unacceptable to more than Republicans on immigration, the situation we have there,” Ms. Page said. “And boy, is that going to anger some of his core constituents who have wanted him to do more on immigration, not less. … I think this is kind of a lose-lose for him, politically speaking.”(continued)

The media must come here looking for ideas. I'm sure I said this about a week ago.

Well there are a few differences:

Democrat Operative Donna Brazil admitted that George Bush did a good job on Katrina.

Democrat Governor Blanco of Louisiana decided not to seek another term because she knew she was toast.

Democrat Mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin has gone to prison on corruption charges.

Like 0barry is to send down a bunch of trailers? Or only bus those illegals in air conditioned comfortable buses instead of school buses?

Not like we had no warning.

Meanwhile the threats are getting more violent.

(Twitchy) Murietta counter protesters want to ‘blast’ racist white people

And ridiculous.

Who is organizing all of these people getting into the country? Planes of people? Buses of people? Someone is organizing all of this. The media should try to get to the bottom of this. All of these scandals lead to the white house and this one is no different.

You are obviously a deeper thinker than Susan Page. (But don't get too chuffed...it's a fairly low bar).

Do they keep forgetting that we have basements, cabinets, safes and chests full of guns and ammo? That most veterans, hunters, sportsmen, preppers, competition shooters and outdoorsmen are over here on this side? Are they suicidal? Admiral Yamamoto, whether he really said that or not, had it right.

ironic as i was thinking this exact same thing yesterday- remembering how they crucified GWB over Katrina and wondering if the criminal liberal media will do the same as the imperial president attends fundraisers in Texas...

"The media should try to get to the bottom of this."

You have a future in stand-up comedy.

I took a ride today and noticed several Gadsen flags flying. I snapped a pic of one at the farm just outside town.

Ask Kayne West. I was in the middle of Katrina, so I didn’t get to watch all the TV coverage of it.

Apparently most RAT Voters thought it meant free stuff taken from their neighbors.
Others thought they would get a free kitchen remodel, while many dreamed of free Drugs.

The list of the misinterpretation is as long as the "Bush's Fault" chronicles.

Bush was not told Katrina was coming months in advance.
