Kentucky: Punished FOr Its Politics?
February 3, 2009 | aas

Posted on 02/03/2009 5:50:48 AM PST by an amused spectator

CNN Elections 2008 shows us that Kentucky went overwhelmingly for the Republicans during the November 2008 election:

McCain/Palin - 58%
Obama/Biden - 41%

The state re-elected Republican Mitch McConnell, and 4 of 6 US House representatives were elected as Republicans.

So, it's Winter 2008/09, and Kentucky has been buried by ice for more than a week. Where's President Obama? Where's FEMA? No one in Kentucky seems to know, but fortunately for Present Obama, a lone Democrat is in charge of Kentucky - Democrat Governor Steve Beshear, and he's covering for Barry "The Big Wagyu" Obama in a Big Way:

Beshear has consistently praised Obama, a fellow Democrat, for the attention he's devoted to what Beshear calls the biggest natural disaster to hit his state.

"I was impressed that he [Present Obama] knew a lot of the particulars about what we were facing here," the governor said last week in announcing the disaster declaration.

Obama's Lapdog Media is also lending Obama a hand, by studiously ignoring any similarities between the Kentucky ice storm response and the response to Hurricane Katrina during the Bush administration. We ALL remember how the press punished Bush over that one, don't we? Matter of fact, they're still punishing Bush over that one.

Well, it's a new day in America, and a new set of voters in trouble with the weather.

Only this time, this set of voters picked the wrong horse.

Obama, and his media machine don't LIKE Kentucky's voting choices - so they'll get nothing, and like it.

Hey - the Kentuckians can always eat steak.

Obama might have some Wagyu scraps left over from his last White House party...

Looking at the “stimulus” bill it sure looks like democrats are getting their payoff and republicans are getting the shaft nationwide.

Obama doesn’t need to go to Kentucky, folks. This isn’t ‘katrina part two’.

I say this dealing with the same weather here in Southern Ohio.

There will be a ‘moment’ when Obama either rises to the occasion, or does not. And we are watching closely.

But this isn’t it, you are burning your powder in the dark, without a clear target.

JMHO.

Your opinion is duly noted.

Check out my michigan pork list. Oddly enough Ann Arbor isn’t on it but I assume it’s because they’re still fighting over their slice of “pie”. 782 projects for my state so far.

The folks in Kentucky can take care of themselves and Obama is the one failing miserably now.

Where’s Mitch McConnell?

Eating wagyu steak at the White House and playing “Let’s Make a Deal” with President Screwtape?

Maybe he ought to be at home leading the federal response to his state’s disaster. Or crying on the news about the lack thereof.

Hey, Barry is President of All The Peoples Now! Just Like "Uncle Joe" Stalin Was Big Boss of All The Peoples In Russia.

You just didn't want to accidentally be a kulak in the Ukraine, or a Republican in Kentucky...

Meanwhile Obama’s White House website is still slamming Bush over “broken promises” and “unconscionable ineptitude” in handling Katrina. What a hateful person.

Wholly crapolas! What a list of warm fuzzy projects. Those types of projects need to be put on hold until the economy turns around....of course, doing so wouldn’t be the Liberal way.

Hussein’s disdain for everything conservative and/or anti-Messiah was made clear when he kicked conservative leaning or “fair and balanced” media off the Hussein Presidential Jet of Marxism. Give your opinion anytime, as long as it’s the same opinion as the “chosen one”..
