Here's an Op Ed where the author suggests the President should cut his vacation short and go see the flooded areas.

If this were President Bush the media and the left would be up in arms over this but instead, it's just business as usual for the democrats.

The outright glaring and bald-faced hypocrisy on this is dumbfounding - I literally have no words.

During Katrina they were all but accusing Bush of using a top secret hurricane steering machine to drive that storm right into the poorest, blackest parishes in and around New Orleans for the express purpose of genocide, and that was before there was any idea of the ultimate deathtoll. 

Ignored of course was the FACT that Mayor Ray Nagin was the one who refused federal assistance, failed to move the school buses, failed to order a mandatory evacuation, etc., since he was a Democrat who happened to be black he remained all but blameless and was even re-elected AFTER his gross incompetence and his stated RACIST intent to rebuild New Orleans as a 'chocolate' city.

Of course Nagin is now in federal prison serving time after being convicted on 2o (of 21) charges of bribery, money laundering and wire fraud (12 years after Katrina).

FUCKING PATHETIC!

Since Obama has been president, there's no homeless problem, apparently; stories of a homeless crisis only appear during Republican presidencies

Also, we are still engaged militarily in Afghanistan and Iraq; where are the anti-war protesters? Why aren't they picketing at Obama's ranch? (Oh, yeah, he doesn't have a home outside the Section 8 one at 1600 Penn Ave that the taxpayers are providing for him and the Wookie.)

Just another example of the media selectively reporting, or not reporting something in order to keep Democrats from being held accountable.

Yeah, I stayed up to watch that damn football game, then couldn't get to sleep.  Did a strafing run through some posts.  :)
