0bama hates white people. And he’s still watching TIVO reruns of last night’s Super Bowl.

1) Global warming makes this sort of thing impossible. It isn't happening.

2) Kentucky only has 8 electoral votes

3) Kentucky voted white McCain

Ergo, honkeys get to freeze.

When a 19-year-old white man (father of newborn twins) from Todd Co., KY, was murdered in 1994 by some young black men for flying a Confederate flag from his pickup truck, a writer published an article in The New Yorker (later in book form as Confederates in the Attic) which in effect argued that the death of someone like him was no loss to society. That's what the elites think--poor whites like that don't matter.

I run a mail order business based on internet advertising. I specialize in country and western music in obsolete formats, but other genres also. Of the 50 states, I think I have sold less to Kentucky than any other. So I would conclude that people there are poor and without internet access. Just based on my own experience.

Let's see

When a white Republican is President and the disaster affects blacks, the media are all over the story 24/7. They report FEMA is incompetent and uncaring, and attribute both to racism.

When a black Democrat is President and the disaster affects whites, the media is silent and FEMA is "doing a great job."

The only thing consistent about the media is their bias.

Obama: "Let Them Eat ( Wagyu ) Steak"

Is Barack Obama an insensitive lout who serves $100 per pound steaks to his elite guests and turns up the heat in the White House high enough to grow orchids while a million of his countrymen are without power and dozens are freezing to death? If not, why not?

Solely because that is not the story the media want to tell.

The Anchoress has an excellent roundup. Glenn Reynolds has been on the story too.

A basic reality of our time is that our mass media are monolithic, and what they choose to report (or not report) depends on what fits the narrative they are pushing on the public. If our reporters and editors wanted to portray Obama as clueless and out of touch with ordinary Americans, he has given them ample opportunity to do so. But because they are Democrats and he is a Democrat, they have no desire to tell that story. So "let them eat steak" is not a theme you'll be seeing on the evening news.

"If 55 died in Kentucky in this ice storm.... how does the body count compare with Katrina?"

1814 people died in Katrina, 1464 in Louisiana and about 350 in Mississippi.

Wait until the people of Kentucky have their computers up and running again(electricity, etc.). The new media will find out the truth.

Too little too late. Probably busy trying to figure out how
to tax pain and suffering. Well at least you haven’t used up
your carbon credits this month.
