If Bush’s Hurricane Katrina was Racist, is Obama’s Hurricane Sandy Racist too?

By Elizabeth Nelson

If the accusation is good for the goose, is it also good for the gander? President Bush’s slow response time for Hurricane Katrina victims, according to Senator Obama was “racism.” 

   

Remember the video surfaced of then Senator Obama in 2007 suggesting Bush’s response racism slowed aid to post-Katrina New Orleans. Not only is he racially divisive, but he was pandering to his base with a black dialect and accent that is unnatural to his “every day” speech.  

However pandering Senator Obama left some key facts out, as he would later find out would be his pattern when addressing his sheeple. What Obama neglected to tell the people, Bush had already promised New Orleans 7 billion with no strings attached, to rebuild, and a life of omission is still a lie, but we’re used to that by now. 

“When 9/11 happened in New York City, they waived the Stafford Act. … And that was the right thing to do,” he tells the crowd at Hampton University in Virginia. “When Hurricane Andrew struck in Florida, people said, 'Look at this devastation.

We don't expect you to come up with your own money. Here, here's the money to rebuild. We're not going wait for you to scratch it together, because you're part of the American family.'  Obviously the bullet hasn’t been removed and this government doesn’t care about the people in New Orleans."

So, would “racism” also be a factor, in Obama's slow response in rebuilding and helping the helpless and continued homeless victims of Hurricane Sandy? What, you thought #whitepriveledge was real and these people would instantly have their homes rebuilt? Oh no, 2 years later and these families are still fighting to get their lives back.

A Bush administration rebuilt New Orleans, even with a divided Government and a divisive Senator Obama giving him hell along the way.

The living city carries the dead city, places where nearly 1,000 people perished, and many thousands more were too broke or broken to make it back. Most of the Lower Ninth Ward and chunks of New Orleans East, near Lake Pontchartrain, are still ghost towns. True, New Orleans pre-K had deep poverty and rolling corruption scandals. The city was also a strategic port, a cultural diamond, and nowhere near bankruptcy.

The levees failed because of shoddy maintenance by a federal agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. President George W. Bush and enough Republicans joined Democrats in the $7.5-billion Road Home program to give under-insured homeowners and businesses a leg up. A class-action lawsuit against the Army Corps of Engineers lost on appeal; but the corps has spent $15 billion to date on a major upgrade of the levees. Read more Daily Beast

Mr. Obama, if Bush’s “20-month” slow reaction time to Hurricane Katrina was “racially motivated,” and New Orleans is thriving, even with fewer people and more restaurants. I’ve even seen the truth of that first hand. So, why are over 3 thousand Hurricane Sandy victims still homeless, two years later?  Are they not poor enough, or is their skin color not the right shade for you? You don’t even make it easy to get a grant; you put the bullet IN them, instead of “removing the bullet.”

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander? Why are these “rich white folk” still out of their homes, Mr. Obama. If they were black and broke, would they be warm&happy now?
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Several Staten Island homeowners expressed their frustrations over Hurricane Sandy relief efforts during a public meeting Tuesday evening,even as the city announced it had exceeded Mayor Bill de Blasio's goals onstorm reconstruction for the year.

Oh, but for the red tape for grant money

During Tuesday's forum, Staten Islanders had the chance to tell the city how to spend nearly $1 billion in federal Hurricane Sandy relief money. (Staten Island Advance/Ryan Lavis) "We're trying to work with the city 100 percent, but the fact is that there are so many people still not in their homes," said Tom Consulo, a storm victim from Midland Beach.

Yet, DeBlasio has a “reason for sitting on money.” To be fair, is it enough to get everyone into their home, probably not, but it’s enough to get some into their home and that’s worth it, isn’t it?

Why has @NYCHA been "sitting on the money for a variety of reasons," said @NYCMayorsOffice -- http://t.co/NceqRwZqnB ...what reasons?

"Everybody thinks a year later, we're New York and ... everybody's fine and dandy. No, it isn't," says Scott McGrath, who lives across the street. "It's real out there. It's still a lot of people needing help." ~ Samantha Langello, homeless, read more of her The Slow, Uneven Rebuilding After Superstorm Sandy story at NPR

When so many are out of their homes, frustration only mounts at the snail’s pace and then the money spent to cancel rebuilding efforts.

On @wnyc right now NJ public has a right to know why $10M dollars was spent to end #sandy rebuild contract? @boyleing_points @Bobmagic01 NY?

At least someone else understands that this is a disastrous rebuild, by a disaster of a presidential administration. Drop the ball and this is what you get.

Now, there will be some that will try to exonerate Obama and blame (the Democrat at the time) Congress. However, don’t even start that crap with me, not when Senator Obama himself blamed Bush, you can’t have it both ways libshi*s, blame a “racist” Bush for slow response times in Katrina, and not blame Obama for doing the same and leaving these people and their family homeless. 

Especially when Obama, like Clinton, claim “owning a home” isn't just part of “the American Dream” but “a Right.” I guess, to paraphrase 2007 Senator Obama, “this government doesn’t care about the people in New York and Jersey," just as they didn't care about the "people in New Orleans."  Can't have it both ways.  Can't dish it out, if you aren't prepared to take the same treatment returned, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Calm before the Deficit Tropical Storm

Senator Obama once called Bush "unpatriotic" for his two-term spending habits, but it took Obama only 2 years to spend 4 TRILLION dollars. Do the math: Our looming debt, plus governments out of control spending, plus unpaid financial obligations equal the sum total of a bad forecast for every American citizen.

2006&2007 Bush was Right (again): "Early Withdrawal Would Turn Iraq Into Terrorist State"

By Elizabeth Nelson

We've all pointed how many times Palin and Romney were right about Russia, but did you know that the most hate President Bush got it right too? Yeah, in 2006 and again in 2007 he warned everyone that an, "early withdrawal would turn Iraq into terrorist state."

What Bush warned of eight years ago is exactly what has happened. Although Iraq was -- in his words -- "a success," President Obama still ensured that success would be liquidated by prematurely withdrawing American troops. The result has been, as Bush predicted, "a terrorists state in the heart of the Middle East… more dangerous than [pre-9/11] Afghanistan."

The Islamic State in question has been formed by ISIS, a savage group of Islamists who are on a rampage to expand their territory and exterminate the oldest Christian sects on the planet. Tuesday ISIS released a video that shows one of their barbarians cutting the head off a man reported to be American journalist James Foley.

During a speech to the CENTCOM Coalition Conference the following year, in 2007, Bush again warned of the consequences of a premature Iraq withdrawal. Here he is apparently responding to intense pressure from both the media and Democrats to cut and run:

Withdrawal would have emboldened these radicals and extremists. It would have confirmed their belief that our nations were weak. It would help them gain new recruits, new resources. It would cause them to believe they could strike free nations at their choice.

Withdrawal would have increased the probability that coalition troops would be forced to return to Iraq one day, and confront an enemy that is even more dangerous. Failure in Iraq should be unacceptable to the civilized world. The risks are enormous. Read more Breitbart

So, Obama can say that he "wasn't warned" but we can all see that he had ample warning, and had foreknowledge of ISIS in 2012.  However, sadly, one of the major difference between Obama and Bush, Bush got his military advice from Military Leaders, Obama brings political advisors to the war room with him, not military leaders - and look at the "like-minded" vipers he surrounds himself with.  Don't you feel safer and are you enjoying your "evil" vote now? 

Sometimes it really does suck being right, because being right doesn't make you happy, it just makes you right.  You got your lame-as*-"president" and we were left with the change, no hope, and a transformation of America that isn't safe (by a long shot) and one that even you don't like. Thank you lib-tard.

Obama: "American [Peasants], I Created Jobs for You!" Making 23% Less

By Elizabeth Nelson

We won't even discuss our Nation's security issues or the impending inflation, once we stop printing that funny money that we've been printing for years, to crutch up our economy, we'll save that for a later date, we'll just focus on jobs.  Obama loves to brag and toot his own horn, "we are at 6.2% unemployment."

Like hell we are, that's the cherry-picked U-3 rate, those that are still being reported and getting a government pay check to sit on their couch. The U-6, the total unemployed and partially employed is actually 12.2%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The liberal media will spin this "Obama has created more jobs than Bush did his FIRST Term," but what they still aren't telling you the entire story; they refuse to tell you about the people who stopped looking for work, lowest labor force participation rate (63%) the lowest since 1979, when Carter was in office.  Now what about all of those "created jobs" Obama keeps bragging about.  Yeah, he's not being honest about those either. US jobs that returned after 2008 recession pay 23 percent less.

Workers in the United States are earning an average of 23 percent less than earnings from jobs that were lost during the economic recession that began in 2008, according to a new report.

The average salary in sectors where jobs were lost - especially manufacturing and construction - during the recession was $61,637, according to the report from the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM). In comparison, job gains in those sectors through the second quarter of 2014 came with average wages of $47,171. The difference comes out to a $93 billion in lower wage income, the USCM found.

Liberals would rather blame Bush for this anemic growth, the person who never once blamed anyone for the unsustainable problems and the economy that he inherited from Clinton and never once blamed one American for being greedy and over-extending their credit by taking out a loan on a home (Clinton's Everyone Deserves a home, the "American Dream") they knew they couldn't afford.

"Under a similar analysis conducted by the Conference of Mayors during the 2001-2002 recession, the wage gap was only 12% compared to the current 23%--meaning the wage gap has nearly doubled from one recession to the next," said the Conference of Mayors in a statement.

The report also said that 73 percent of metro-area households earn salaries of less than $35,000 a year.  USCM represents US cities with populations of more than 30,000. Read more RT

 

Liberals really do believe Obama's crap, that this recession and lack of recovery is all Bush's fault. It's easier to believe that than admit they were wrong, their "savior" lied to them, or be held accountable for their overspending or hold Obama accountable for his 
anemic "recovery" growth. 


Especially when we've been out of "Clinton Recession" since 2009, which was aided by Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Fed. Sav. Bank (Obama being the lead attorney with ACORN) which stopped President Bush and the GOP from changing the lending standards and demanded that loans be made to poor people, and others who could not show proof that they could pay the money back. The basis of the lawsuit was the 14th Amendment, which requires 'fair and equal' treatment for all citizens. Now Obama has no one to blame for our ailing economy but himself and his failed policies.
