After the horrific wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui last week that took the lives of at least 99 and left more than 1,000 unaccounted for, many Americans are donating money to help the victims. Many more are offering their thoughts and prayers, including former President Barack Obama, who grew up in Hawaii but infamously said after a mass shooting in 2015: “Thoughts and prayers are not enough.”
At the time, Obama condemned the phrase, saying, “Our thoughts and prayers are not enough. It’s not enough. It does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel, and it does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted someplace else in America, next week or a couple months from now.”

He again told the lie, to Gold Star families that Beau came home in a flag draped coffin. So insulting!
Bravo, well said.
And he experienced them as a fire fighter. He used to commute to the fires daily by Amtrak. Put over a million miles on Amtrak during his fire fighting career.
At the dinner table his dad used to say “Joey, only you can prevent Maui wild fires.” No joke.
This is why as of now, behind Trump, Tulsi is Number Two on my list of who I would vote for in 24, I am not going to worry about the differences I may have with her on the issues.

🤣😂
What’s not funny is the media lets him get away with it. And some people may believe him.
what’s amazing about that video, and other similar stories, is how the people are waaay more efficient than the government.
If Buttegeig is the head of transportation, imagine the slacker political appointees at FEMA and the rest.
Obama is a fake, phony, fraud, turd.
I actually think he sees prayer as an insult and even a threat.
Yep. And she’s not there for publicity, she genuinely cares for those people.
Loser.
“During” the tragedy in Maui in 2015? Not clicking msm or whatever.
Shut up and fantasize, Obamapoof.
My thoughts exactly.
Well said.
Otherwise, Barry is a flaming hypocrite.
Agreed.
Of course he does. Like most Leftists, any entity which can rob them of even a scintilla of control, spritual, financial, knowledge, liberty...they, being the Statists that they are, cannot bear something or someone else stealing what they view as theirs to control.
I despise those people, and they are all like him.
It is why they hate the family, religion, etc, and do all in their power to destroy those and replace them with their own versions that they can control.
“Our thoughts and prayers are not enough. It’s not enough. It does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel, and it does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted someplace else in America, next week or a couple months from now.”
Anger good. Prayers bad. Roger that, Barack. Truly inspiring.
So he knows more arsons are coming?
Maybe we should spend some of the taxpayer monies going to Ukraine to take care of Americans in crisis(wouldn't that be refreshing). No Brandon, Barry and the rest of the democrats don't give a rats ass about Americans, they have proven that in the last three disasters, all the give a damn about are illegals and Ukraine.
Despite this which is so obvious the mind numbed robots of the democrat party will vote en bloc for the status quo while reveling in the golden shower raining down upon them from their masters.
