Racist Obama Administration ignornig white people in dire straits (Vanity)

While watching the barely-existent coverage of the ice storms in Kentucky that have the entire Kentucky National Guard mobilized, I cannot help but ask the following questions about the LACK of response from the Obama administration...and how it is a very close parallel to the Hurricane Katrina situation that was so harmful to the Bush presidency, only instead of a lot of black folks in danger, this time it's a lot of white folks...

Why aren't Kentuckians sitting on top of their houses, wailing at the constant whir of news helicopters for rescue?

Why aren't Kentuckians on TV demanding that the gummint save them, save them, save them?

Why aren't Kentuckians rioting, looting, boldly walking into shuttered convenience stores insisting that they just want food to survive and instead walking out with beer, wine and malt liquor?

Why aren't Kentuckians looting electronic stores for big-screen TVs?

Why aren't Kentuckians all being herded into a huge stadium where they will destroy the facility and murder fellow refugees?

Why aren't the big four TV networks, all the cable news channels and a herd of newspaper reporters there sticking cameras and mikes into their faces to demand that the gummint do something to save them?

Why isn't Kentucky's governor holed up in a safe area away from the weather?

Why isn't the state's largest city mayor holed up with the governor in a safe place away from the weather after having abandoned his city?

Why isn't Soledad O'Brien broadcasting live with her CNN ball cap and jaunty ponytail showing the poor, poor, poor low income people that Kentucky is famous for, barely surviving?

Why aren't Kentuckians demanding $2,000 debit cards from FEMA?

Why isn't the FEMA director being pilloried for not having his entire agency there helping?

Why isn't the mainstream media demandin to know why the president isn't there, on the scene, to help?

Why aren't Kentucky weather victims lining up for free FEMA trailers that they will then go to court to stay in two years later?

Why isn't the president being called on the carpet for racist behavior abandoning these people who so desperately need his help and being called a racist??

WHY???

Rioting in the freezing cold has never been very popular.

Are you kidding? The warmth of a burning building is a great way keep from freezing your ass off.

Don't ask me how I know this.

No electricity, I'd be burning something

As I posted several months ago on FR, most elected black politicians are only interested in black people. The mayors, governors, congress, and now the president will concentrate all their energies into shoring up the black community and to hell with the whites.

And we've been so cowed by political correctness and EEO fear that we're sitting here watching them systematically dismantle the greatest country in history and doing nothing.

We should be melting the phone lines in Washington, with a cc to the media. If you don't copy the media, the congresscritters will not tell them, and there will be nothing in the way of fallout.

Every letter/email we send should go to all involved politicos, and all of the news outlets you can think of...it's what the liberals do to spread the lies in the first place, so those are the same tactics we must use to fight it. If everyone gets the same message at the same time, plausible deniability is out the window.

My bro-in-law lives in Ark and they were without power/water for 3 days. I overheard my hubby ask him this same question...why hasn't obama even commented on this natural disaster.

[beckysueb]

Excellent post! I have been wondering the same thing myself. I sent FoxNews an email and asked them where are Shep and Geraldo and their theatrics or are white babies not as photogenic as black babies.

Remember Pres. Bush waited, but no request came from Gov. Whatsername, so he took the initiative to offer it, but still didn’t get a coherent answer. He also told her to get the people out of the path of the hurricane.

SHE couldn’t make a decision and blamed it all on Pres. Bush.

[beckysueb]

Blanco didn’t ask Bush for help either until it was too late. That didn’t stop the media from their caterwauling.

Racist Obama Administration ignornig white people in dire straits

It doesn't fit into the happyfunball of his inaugural precession.

SEAN PENN! PAGING SEAN PENN!!

Where's George Clooney?

He's from there and his dad ran for congress from that state.

Guess there was a scheduling conflict. Couldn't interrupt his vacation at his villa in Italy.

How inconvenient...

[conservative gal in PA]

These country folk won’t ask for help, it’s beneath them, they will take care of their own with the interference of government, thank you very much.

[muawiyah]

But what about the poor Black People in Cincinnati ~ in Over the Rhine?

I reported earlier that they were just packing them into blocks of snow, and they won't get treatment until they thaw in the Spring ~ certainly that's far worse than anything that could have happened in New Orleans (which didn't).

The MSM doesn't care. Obama, though, took a different tack he said "Who's afraid of a little snow" and laughed heartily (cackled evilly)

[mother]

We do not need the feds help. We can and will take care of our own. People here know how to survive and how to care about their neighbors.

[muawiyah]

Did I forget that /S again? Silly me.

Of course we all know you know how to take care of yourselves. At the same time Obamasama was exceptionally calloused. They should begin impeachment proceedings at once and toss him into the street.

It's unconscionable for a President to ridicule people's concern with the ice, particularly when they have lebenteenzillion tons of it crushing the life out of 'em.

We are in Madisonville which is in one of the hardest hit counties in Western Kentucky. As of last night, the hospital was still running on emergency generator. Many of the out lying areas in the county are without water which is the biggest problem. But, some power was restored today to a few small sections of town and some gas and food stores are opened. Folks were lining up in an orderly fashion to get fuel and people were helping each other out.
We are staying with my in-laws in town only because we lack water on our property. We have our generator here and are doing fine. We will even be going to Mass tomorrow morning. So, I personally would rather the gubmit stay out but I do know there are some folks that could probably use there help. Nothing will come of this and it will all go down the memory hole in a few weeks.

[sfimom]

Prayers go out to you and yours. Glad to hear you are doing ok.

[Salvation]

Mr. Obama, DO YOUR JOB!

Where is FEMA for all the states that have been stricken with this ice storm.

This is your Katrina, and we won’t let you forget it.

[Salvation]

Good for Jindal!

[Syncro]

That MIGHT be a good question, but when that question was asked after Katrina, we were all told that the state of Louisiana shouldn’t HAVE to ask, it should all just happen, remember??

You probably know this, but here it is anyway.

The Federal Government cannot do anything in a state of this nature unless invited by the state government.

President Bush offered Federal help, but the Governor of Louisiana didn't ask for several days.

That was the problem, the arrogance of the leadership of the state, and of course Nagin also.

When they finally asked for federal help, it came in.

And the fact it was late was of course blamed on President Bush instead of the democrats that delayed the help.

Are the buses still underwater and the majority of the FEMA trailers still in another state?
