From the WhiteHouse.gov web site:
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.Curiously, there is no mention of any "unconscionable ineptitude" on the part of the Mayor of Chocolate City, or any other of the myriad Democrats one would encounter if one bothered to climb the ladder of responsibility from the Local and State governments before ever reaching the Federal level.
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.
Memo to all Obamunists: Fuck you. For all of Bush's faults, he left office with dignity and class. None of the "O" keys were missing from keyboards, I'll wager. No vandalism or anti-Obama graffiti either. I'm certain that the Bush staff left the White House in far better condition than they found it in January 2001. What a pleasant change from the way you dickless leftoids execute a Presidential transition.
And what in return? It didn't take but a day for you to show us what the next 4 years promise: cheap shots, rhetoric, and venom. So that's how it's going to be? Fine. You set the rules; I'll just play by them. Don't look to me for goodwill when it's clearly a one-way street. Others may pray that your boy president succeeds for the sake of the nation. Not me. I pray that he fails; that his failures are monumental; and that those who elected him (i.e., you) suffer most of all. You keep comparing this Socialist asshole to Lincoln; I'll keep hoping he shares Lincoln's fate. How's that for reconciliation?
But hey... I'm just an angry white racist. Velociman says it with much more eloquence and class than I could ever hope to muster.
Okay. I was giving the man his day, his year, his administration. A faint breeze of circumspection had been wafting across his bow for a couple of weeks. I was going to shut the fuck up and exhibit the class the left has been incapable of showing since 1968. No more.HopeChange™, you low-rent fucking scumbags.
Fuck him. That dandy, that piebald pimp. And his rat shack wife, who was strolling down Pennsylvania Avenue today incomprehensibly dressed like one of the terra cotta soldiers from the Imperial Tombs of China exhibit. Only with a fatter ass. And snappers that looked like they could chomp through a cocoanut. How often has Obama regretted those marital banns, one wonders?
