yeah like Bush never talked the "good ol'boy" Texas draw when he needed to.
Obama saw an injustice in the way Katrina was handled compared to 911,free speech get over it.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8277144 That’s not, Obama says, what is happening in majority-black New Orleans. “What’s happening down in New Orleans? Where’s your dollar? Where’s your Stafford Act money?” Obama shouts, angry now. “Makes no sense! Tells me that somehow, the people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!”It’s a remarkable moment, and not just for its resemblance to Kayne West’s famous claim that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” but also because of its basic dishonesty. By January of 2007, six months before Obama’s Hampton speech, the federal government had sent at least $110 billion to areas damaged by Katrina. Compare this to the mere $20 billion that the Bush administration pledged to New York City after Sept. 11.Moreover, the federal government did at times waive the Stafford Act during its reconstruction efforts. On May 25, 2007, just weeks before the speech, the Bush administration sent an additional $6.9 billion to Katrina-effected areas with no strings attached.As a sitting United States Senator, Obama must have been aware of this. And yet he spent 36 minutes at the pulpit telling a mostly black audience that the U.S. government doesn’t like them because they’re black.Read more: [ link to dailycaller.com] Does anyone remember that Katrina did NOT hit NOLA? It didn't even hit Louisiana. Impact was Ocean Springs, Past Christiane/Biloxi, MS. The only reason the lower 9th ward (most drug-ridden ghetto disgusting place of debauchery, drugs, open disregard for human life, murder and prostitution) got flooded is because the levees broke. I was in coastal Mississippi after the fact. I saw what looked like a nuclear bomb detonated on the shores of MS. It made you cry. They didn't steal. They didn't loot. They helped each other and cried together. Anyone using NOLA post-Katrina for an agenda is self-promoting, dishonest and disingenuous by definition. Exactly. The coast there was no more, I couldn't even tell where I was.
