Yep, and with the material the MSM had, they could’ve made the whole thing look like Obama’s Katrina if they wanted to. Let’s keep in mind Katrina was much more a state and local failure than a federal one, yet it was portrayed as Bush’s disaster. Yet on Geraldo this weekend, all we heard was “people have a misconception that FEMA is supposed to provide significant disaster relief.”
Absolutely, JJ. In the Katrina case, FEMA begged Nagin and the Democratic governor of La. to let them help out. They turned their nose up at Bush. Then all the video of suffering New Orleaners is used to crucify the Bush response. The media was scandalously dishonest, just as they are still being with Sandy (except this time they are covering for the administration).
