President Barack Obama took a veiled jab at his predecessor, George W. Bush, Monday during an appearance in New Orleans, where the former was touring damage caused by last week's Hurricane Isaac.  Here's what Obama said, according to the White House transcript:

I am sick to my stomach of obama and his miserable voice.

Compassionate decades long wars costing multiple trillions in tax dollars, bank bailouts, lawless violent borders with millions entering during war time no less, waving more Muslims into the U.S. after 911 than the previous two decades...Him not dealing well with a storm with days notice, is no surprise.

And some people still cling to this guy?

Gezzz

Jeb Bush was the governor of Florida. Katrina hit Louisiana. President Bush was being set up by the corrupt Democrats for impeachment in my opinion.

“...Not more than myself. Obama is the worst thing to happen to this nation in a hundred years....”

And the he!! of it is, it was self-inflicted. Well, at least by fifty two percent of the brain-dead voters.

I agree with your assessment.

IIRC, didn’t President Bush declare an emergency several days before Katrina even hit?

And with Isaac, obama dragged his feet before making such a declaration? In fact signing it the very day that Isaac made it’s initial landfall. And the declaration has been roundly criticized as not enough by Governor Jindal and others.

With Katrina, the entire blame for the New Orleans fiasco rests with that idiot governor blanco, and the moron mayor nagin.

To evacuate New Orleans alone requires action at a minimum of 40 hours before landfall, and nagin waited until just 19 hours before calling for a mandatory evacuation.

blanco refused to sign the emergency waiver that would have allowed any licensed driver to operate public transit busses (including school busses) to help with the evacuations.

Obama cannot run for reelection on his accomplishments. He must make others seem lower than him - - it’s all he has left.

That’s what I thought also. I am sure I heard Bush declare a disaster 3 days before the hurricane hit. I recall Fox mentioning it in a newscast.

You are correct, it was not katrina, It was when Florida was hit by 3 hurricanes...

And after creating a leftist “gospel” of blame Bush for Katrina, the left can recite that “gospel” religiously as they ignore the highest gas prices ever on a Labor day weekend as one example.

But with the left in control of entertainment/msm, we hear on NPR, for instance, how immensely popular and nonpartisan is Michelle, we have more analization of Ryan the VP nom than a sitting P, and events not supportive of our North-Korean-Dictator-Egoed Sock-Puppet-In-Chief are scrubbed from reality.

By the way: does NPR swallow or spit?

Actually it did hit Florida too, before it hit Louisiana.

It hit Florida, caused 1 million to lose electricity and about $600 million in damage. Judging from its path, it skimmed Florida's southern tip as a catagory 1 hurricane:

Catagory 1 hurricanes: 74 to 95 mph

Insecure people knock others because they think it makes themselves look better. BO is jealous of REAL men cause they are something he can’t ever be.

Why is this lie being allowed allowed?

The fact is that then Governor of Louisiana Kathleen
Blanco refused to sign over command authority of the Louisiana National Guard to George W. Bush and the federal government, which is ALWAYS conventionally done in such disasters , so that the material coming in from FEMA and Donations can be properly distributed.

Ice sat melting on trucks at the Louisiana border, truck loads of food rotted, and it was that idiot Blanco who caused the so called delayed response and many died unnecessarily because of it.

When the people of Louisiana found out about what had happened they elected Jindal as their new governor and sent
the Dems packing.

THATS THE FACT THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO REMEMBER!!!!!! WHY ISN'T ANYONE POINTING THAT OUT????
