Flashback: Obama ripped Bush's 'unconscionable ineptitude' during Hurricane Katrina
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/19/16 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 08/19/2016 8:24:44 AM PDT by Nachum

President Obama, under fire for golfing on posh Martha's Vineyard during a week of anguished cries for help from flooded Louisiana, ripped former President Bush 11 years ago when the Republican was seen as slow to react to Hurricane Katrina's crash into New Orleans.

Obama, who had just returned from New Orleans, preached on the Senate floor about Bush's poor reaction to similar cries for help during Katrina.

He hasn’t done anything but run his damn mouth his entire tenure. He’s only action when it comes to supporting Al Qaeda and ISIL (he won’t say “ISIL” ......take a look at map of ‘Levant’ and you’ll see why).

He only did so because the Media had made it into a story. Had the media chosen to ignore it, as they are now doing with Obama's golf vacation while poor black people in Louisiana are losing their homes, he wouldn't have been able to make an issue out of it.

People, the media create "issues", and the media decides what issues are important and which will get on the air. (Usually on the basis of whether it helps or hurts Democrats.)

The media is the political arm of the Democrat party and they have complete control over the American airwaves. This power needs to be taken away from them.

We don't have to just win the Executive and Legislative branches of government. We must win the "Fourth Estate" of government too, or we will never be able to solve the problems this nation is facing.

Yes, but the big difference is - Hussein doesn't give a damn.

He has joined the ranks of Global Elite. The struggles of ordinary people are only a part time concern now...

Perhaps you meant he won't say ISIS?

‘Ineptitude’?

You mean back when (with something like 9 days of 24/7 weather alerts, etc.) the dummies in NOLA still sat on their a*&es and got slammed with the storm of the decade... THEN blamed the President and everyone ELSE for the jackpot THEY were in??

Obama can pull these stunts only because of the traitorous media.

They worked feverishly to demonize George ‘Dubya’ Bush and drag him down.
And they have worked just as hard to prop up Obama, Hillary and every other democrat.

And their traitorous partisanship is not just at the presidential level either.

Compare how they treat goofy, perverted, Joe Biden with how they treated Dan Quayle.

Trump should paraphrase Kanye: The President doesn’t care about black people.

Its good to remember that while Bush took non-stop pounding for his performance during and after Katrina, and took it for years, the fact is that the only agencies that performed properly were federal agencies under his control.

State and local agencies, controlled by Democrats as it happens, failed outrageously and finally the whole situation had to be federalized. Once under Bush’s control, everything proceeded properly.

If you get your news from propagandists, which most people do, you would not know this.
