I wonder if the same people who blamed Bush for Katrina will blame Obama for this (he asks rhetorically).

The environment died while the Obama’s had a long-needed vacation last weekend.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano acknowledging even as late as Thursday afternoon that she did not know if the Defense Department even had equipment that might be helpful....

Madame Secretary, it is your business to find out such things. Have your people make a few calls....

OBOZO HUSSEIN continued to Fiddle!OBOZO rode his MUSLIM Flying Carpet up to Michigan so he could ramble and rant about Rush Limbauhg and Gleen Beck to a CommencementCrowd and then back to D.C. for an evening of Free Booze and Entertainmentwith Jay Leno and the cozy Main Stream Media Leeches! The Guy (OBOZO HUSSEIN) is a Moronic Talking PARROT!

Yep Obama waitd too long to do anything and now the coastlines of several gulf states are at risk. This is worse than Katrina to me, at least with Katrina people had a 5 day notice to evacuate. Obama waited what 9 days before even saying anything?

I would like to take this moment to raise a question that I am asking of quite a few...

Does the timing of this disaster seem a bit...convenient? And no, I am not suggesting that BO is behind it. What I AM suggesting is that his campaign-worthy blatherings about nukes and drilling might have driven the fringe over the edge. Is it possible that our very own “enviro-terrorists” (read: criminals) could have been behind it? They aren’t going to take credit (THIS time) because it suits their purpose to have the world think it’s BP’s fault. If it were ever known to be the work of a terrorist group, it would drive sympathy for BP and even MORE hatred for them.

These platforms are supremely safe and NO company is going to put itself in this position for any reason.

I’m just sayin’...

Why would they act? It’s one of those crisis specials that Rahm was talking about.

Bush responded to Katrina within three days and was in contact with state and local officials. Katrina hit Mississippi and Alabama, New Orleans was on the edge of its path. In Mississippi and Alabama the response by state and local officials was quick and effective, though not perfect by any means.

In New Orleans and Louisiana the response was confused and incompetent. State and local officials made one error after another. Mayor Nagin of New Orleans was particularly incompetent.

The MSM blamed Bush for all the problems in New Orleans and repeated it over and over again. It has now become a standard talking point that Katrina was Bush's fault.
