New White House site slams Bush
By: Andy Barr
January 20, 2009 05:40 PM EST
The new White House website unveiled by President Barack Obama’s team Tuesday includes a shot at former President Bush’s response to Hurricane Katrina.
Under the “agenda†portion of the site regarding Katrina, it reads: “President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.â€
“President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina,†the statement on the site continues. “Citing the Bush Administration’s ‘unconscionable ineptitude’ in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of low-income hurricane victims.â€
The site also points out that Obama “visited thousands of Hurricane survivors in the Houston Convention Center and later took three more trips to the region†and worked with the Congressional Black Caucus to help rebuild in the aftermath of Katrina.

What? Wait a minute. Wasn't Joe "the Gaffe" Biden one of those that voted against funneling the funds from "the bridge to nowhere" to New Orleans?

Obama actually has a lot of folks buffaloed into believing Obama is a uniter,the new way. Problem is if you read anything about and/or by Obama you also read about Obama backstabbing someone. His fav target of late has been President Bush.

And family members and friends.
Such a person doesn't really have "friends." He has people who his handlers can use and those they cannot. The latter -- adios.

you know, I almost hated to make this observation, but the Obama Era certainly has wrought havoc on the dem caucus in the senate. obama, biden, and clinton all came to the executive branch. kennedy and byrd are, let's face it, facing uncertain futures.
not that the dem majority is in jeopardy, or will even change at all. but the senate, which sometimes seems to never change, has changed a good bit pretty quickly recently.
and if al freakin' franken makes it into the senate, it will really get interesting. lots of newbies and weirdos being led around by that doddering old man, harry reid.

I am pretty sure slamming the prior administration is unprecedented.
But who cares about tradition or decor when there is a (D) after your name?
-
if this had been during the campaign, I would have bet you anything that this part of the website was "cleansed" by morning. it happened all the time. but what the hell does he have to worry about now? hell, let the lies and the silliness fly! what are we gonna do, vote against him? :whatever:
-
“President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina,†the statement on the site continues.
From the Illinois State Senate? How?
-
From the Illinois State Senate? How?
he had actually been a US senator for all of 7 months or so when Katrina hit. :whatever:
here's the full desription of his Katrina heroism. he gave speeches and stuff.
Katrina
President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.
President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. Citing the Bush Administration's "unconscionable ineptitude" in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of low-income hurricane victims. Obama visited thousands of Hurricane survivors in the Houston Convention Center and later took three more trips to the region. He worked with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to introduce legislation to address the immediate income, employment, business, and housing needs of Gulf Coast communities.
President Barack Obama will partner with the people of the Gulf Coast to rebuild now, stronger than ever.
-
It hasn't even been 24 hours and this ****ing asshole is already taking cheap shots - is already LYING.
**** you, Obama, you ****ing lying scumbag.
-
Obama "introduced legislation." Obama "visited thousands of Hurricane survivors" and "later took three more trips to the region." Obama "worked with members" of the black caucus. Such stunning bravery! Such wisdom! Such leadership! He is my hero. [/sarcasm]
I despair of not only Obama, but any president, if they demonstrate such ignorance about the causes of that debacle, namely, the mayor's and governor's responses to the hurricane, and, prior to that, the failure of local government to prepare for such an eventuality in advance. (New Orleans is in a potential hurricane zone? Who knew?)

This is the Democrat version of "Swift response" when you need medical treatment, food, and a place to sleep before dark.
:uhsure:

When the hell did it become the federal government's responsibility to rebuild the damn gulf coast and New Orleans? :censored:

When the country elected a "black" president and it's mostly blacks that are still waiting for a handout. You can take the hood out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the hood.

I can't stand this guy.
That is all.

Obama needs a whipping boy to contrast his "greatness" -- FYI: In a story at the Hill, Susan Sarandon compared him to Jesus and another liberal/fascist entertainer compared him to Mohandas Gandhi -- and George W. Bush will be Obama's and the Democrats for, well, the foreseeable future.
Maybe GWB was slow to act. But at least he did. Within four days of Katrina's devastation, he signed a $10.5 billion aid package.
He certainly did more than the re-elected mayor of NOLA, Ray Nagin, who failed to implement the evacuation plan.
And more than the governor of Louisiana and its two U.S. senators, who seemed paralyzed, especially the governor who delayed activation of the National Guard.
FWIW: Churches, including the one I attend, and buinsesses in this Mid-Atlantic/Southern area of flyover "racist" Red State America sent truckloads of food, clothing and supplies to the Gulf Coast. Members of our church went to serve, too. For the life of me, though, I don't recall liberal/leftist organizations, or Jeremiah Wright's TUCC, doing something similar.
I digress. Sorry.
I've a nephew who, along with this wife, lives in Jefferson Parrish. While he's a liberal, I've never heard him criticize Bush or the federal government about the cleanup efforts.
But he has nothing good to say about the mayor or the governance of NOLA and how they conducted themselves in those days.

ONCE AGAIN, America is being subjected to a democrat bad-mouthing a former republican president.
Just shows how much class democrat presidents have - ZIP, NADA, ZERO, BUMPKIS.
I have yet to hear any former republican president bad-mouth a democrat president.
President Bush [41] had more than ample justification to go after Billy "blow job" Klintoon over his constant attacks on his son, but he showed he has class and refrained from doing so.
-
It's not just low-class to criticize Bush now, but bad politics, too. Obama should be trying to gain support for his own initiatives, by reaching out to people, which is what he said he would do anyway. Instead, people are alienated from him, beginning on Day One. A fair amount of gloating is allowed, but on the White House web site? Bad idea.

What??? Ooooobama's White House staff lacks judgement? Who woulda thunk it? :whatever:

President George W. Bush will remain the Democrats', liberals' and lefitsts' whipping boy forever.
Victims and testicle-less as they are, they don't have it in them to accept responsibility for anything.
As as this White House Web site and Obama's performance in his inaugural speech or lecture or whatever it was shows, he lacks class but is full of vindictiveness and small-mindedness.
Honestly, as I watched him take the oath of office, and I did so just to remember the moment, I thought how the adults had been pushed out and the children had taken over.
