you give him too much credit, I would say he is not taking BB’s phone calls because when he is on the back 9 (seemingly every day), he orders all cell phones OFF !!!

He could help his legacy the most by resigning and taking Biden with him.

If Katrina was a debacle what do you call Sandy?

Does anyone understand that if an obviously corrupt pResident is not impeached then no future pResident can ever be impeached regardless of his corruption, treason, or disregard for his Constituional oath? It will set an iron-clad precedent.

Maher had a good joke on his show the other day.

Apparently Bush called Obama on the health care.gov website and said “You’re doing a heck of a job Brownie “.

In the blink of an eye, Mr. Obama’s approval rating plunged to 39 percent — exactly where George W. Bush found himself after weeks of dire Katrina coverage

The difference is that the weeks of Katrina coverage were full of propaganda and full-on lies in order to take Bush down.

Obama's takedown was caused all by himself.

“Okay, I was in Hurricane Katrina in Biloxi”
__________________________________________________
I was far far away in Slovakia, but I saw it on TV.
IIRC, it was not the Hurricane so much as it was the river Levee failure that caused the severe damage.
That was never considered a potential problem prior to Katrina. I guess since they were built by the US government, it had to be Bush’s fault.
I think they also said that the levees were poorly built and could have failed at any time, with or without a hurricane.

>> Clinton before him (whose second-term agenda was derailed by a stained little blue dress) <<

That’s a bald faced lie. There was nothing small about that dress.

The levee was in New Orleans, over an hour away from us. Our problem was the actual storm and the surge.

"George Bush doesn't care about black people"

Interestingly, while the networks worked overtime to blame Bush for Katrina and to promote the "doesn't care about black people" meme, the blacks actually affected didn't buy it.

I recall network reporters interviewing New Orleans refugees in the Houston shelters trying to plant the story with their subjects. But the New Orleans blacks denied the claim outright. They knew full well who was to blame for their plight: Mayor Ray Nagin and Gov. Kathleen Blank-o.

“Whitey gets paid back.”

We should look for the recordings of barry and moochelle obozo, holder, belagosi and other friends of the administration laughing and pointing at the TV when it hit, while passing around popcorn and beer.

Because I am 100% sure that is what they they were doing.

And yes I am serious.

that was another one of those many times where the informed people like FReepers watched reality as it happened live, and then had our jaws drop when we saw the fantasy that the MSM created for the LIVs on the evening news.

I quit watching FOX because of Mascara Man and Whorealdos coverage of Katrina.

Only liberals get away with jokes like that.

At least for now.

” -—In a nutshell, he said sure, everything’s a mess, but he just didn’t know. -—”

Well, lemme see now - - - ?

Just how would an Impeachment trial weigh that candid admission of B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry soetoro?

1.) Dereliction of Duty;
2.) Gross incompetence;
3.) Ignorance of THE LAW, which any judge will tell you “Is No Excuse!”

I don't follow the logic. Our current congress doesn't have a spine, but we can change that if enough people wake up.

If you were in Biloxi the MSM ignored you anyway, along with the rest of the Mississippi coast. As far as they were concerned, only New Orleans was newsworthy. And then after the hurricane was over I think the MSM was pissed off because the citizens of Mississippi didn’t whine and cry but just set about rebuilding their homes. You all didn’t act like victims although the damage was far worse along the Gulf coast. How dare you be self-sufficient?

“The levee was in New Orleans,”
__________________________________________
Yes, I know Biloxi quite well, all the way back to my very early childhood, when I saw my first slot machine. My father held me so I could drop in a dime and pull the handle. Out came two dimes !! WOW, I thought I was in heaven !
I did, however, shortly learn that what God gives, God can take away :(

My point about New Orleans is that it is not on the coast, but somewhat inland. I believe it was downgraded (cat 3) before it hit New Orleans, and might not have been such a big deal if not for the levee failure.

Everything gets twisted into Bush’s fault

Republicans had better get good at saying anything at all or rising above criticism. Bush was ‘gentlemanly’ about it. Wimpy is the word

Bush had expected the residents to know how to get out of the way without his getting in the middle of it like the jersey and in sandy

But inner city no’ers and their idiot mayor couldn’t even figure out to reroute two of three incoming lanes of highway nor to get some transportation for the poor people in the path. It was a shocking display of incompetence. And they blamed bush who could’ve shown up a day or two before he did

And republicans are missing it if they don’t think the media will do what they can to blame republicans and or the insurance companies for obamacare
