Flashback: Obama ripped Bush's 'unconscionable ineptitude' during Hurricane Katrina
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/19/16 | Paul Bedard

President Obama, under fire for golfing on posh Martha's Vineyard during a week of anguished cries for help from flooded Louisiana, ripped former President Bush 11 years ago when the Republican was seen as slow to react to Hurricane Katrina's crash into New Orleans.

Obama, who had just returned from New Orleans, preached on the Senate floor about Bush's poor reaction to similar cries for help during Katrina.

While channel surfing through the news stations, I happened to hear a person on MSNBC .. excoriating Trump for utilizing all the security people and causing a total disruption .. plus standing in a line handing out toys and other items was considered too little and too late.

Funny thing .. during Katrina .. that very security reason was why BUSH 43 didn’t want to land in Louisiana; and at the time, it was the MSM excoriating Bush for not CARING.

THIS IS WHY YOU JUST NEED TO STOP LISTENING TO THE STUPID “OPINIONS” OF ANY MEMBER OF THE MSM.

BTW there was no inept Bush.

We seem to have lost the fact that it was the politically partisan Governor of Louisiana,Kathleen Blanco, the sttes first female governor ( wow), who refused to sign over command of the Louisiana national guard to the federal government in order to distribute and organize aid within the state.

As a result truckloads of food and ice in FEMA trucks were lined up on the roads melting and spoiling in the sun and FEMA aid was delayed for days.

As a result Blanco was run out of office on the next vote and the State elected a Republican governor.

That is what held up aid to Louisiana, and now everyone has conveniently skated past that fact?

HISTORY REDEFINED? DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN. The democrat hefty lefties evolution to liberal fascists was very apparent as a result in Louisiana.

Apparently not. I was there in NYC in 2991, when you bravely spoke out about the atrocities that had happened. I'll never forget your courage. Thank you very much for that.
