The Haitian earthquake is a tragedy. It happened to a favored minority. It did not happen in the US.
Katrina hit all three, so it was worse.
I blame elected officials in Louisiana for the Katrina disaster, particularly the Governor and the Mayor of New Orleans. The notion that it’s all Bush’s fault is a myth promoted by Democrats.
Obama responded quicker to the Haitian earthquake quicker than he did to the near terrorist attack of Christmas Day 2009.
If Bush caused the Katrina hurricane....then Obama caused the earthquake in Haiti.
Expect Obama to make sure that there is no egregiously incompetent “Brownie” in the chain of command,
I suppose, unfortunately, this includes napolitano..
Notice how “The One” responded to Haiti in hours and to the Detroit bomber in days. Priorities???
Bush did what the law permitted at the time. The law required the state to invite the feds in. Both the mayor of N.O. and the governor of Louisiana refused to allow the Feds to come into the disaster zone because, and they explained it, that way, they did not want the Republicans to get credit for anything.
Commie propaganda.
Finelackey is doing the grunt work here to set up Obama for a magnificient, transcendent, narcissitic, vainglorius, masturbatory moment. The lie that Bush was responsible for much of the suffering in the wake of Katrina will now be followed by the lie that Obama alleviated much of the suffering in Haiti. Axelrod probably has a communications team already on the ground there to push the story.
No, no, no. For Obama to outdo Bush, Obama would have to have prevented the earthquake, just like Bush should have prevented the hurricane. /s
I thought the US did OK with tsunami relief.
Was that after Katrina? I think it was.
It seems to me he’s already FAILED in his response to two “man made disasters” right here on US soil.
They could send some FEMA trailers to Haiti.
