Wally why should you even respond to D’s comment. He is extremly judgemental, naïve & has no clue what he is talking about. It is clear someone touched his nerve when it was pointed out that the Dems had Congress since 06. I bet he had no clue. The economic melt down haPpen when D’s buddies Chris Todd & Barney controlled Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae! One question name 3 things that Obama has done? Just like that SNL skit nothing…..
If the 85 days of sitting on our hands with the BP oil spill serves as an example of how this administration deals with a catastrophe, then I would be a more than a little concerned if I lived in the mid-Atlantic area right now.
Really Joe? The BP oil spill and their tepid efforts at a cleanup were the administration’s fault? What exactly could they have done differently?
By the way, did you watch all the overblown coverage of the Katrina fiasco over the weekend? I’d forgotten how completely inept that last administration was.
don’t mind the continued reminders. I had someone come in just today who hadn’t been previously aware of the storm.
Just because YOU know about it, doesn’t mean that someone else does.
Besides, considering the size and the damage that most hurricanes can do, giving people a few days heads up to prepare/evacuate is all for the best.
That way you don’t see people rushing out and buying non-perishable goods and water the day before a storm.
Now that you mention it, I would love to know how the prior administration would have cracked the whip on BP. Does anyone really believe they would have been more proactive?
Thanks for the heads up! Those of us that live inland and aren’t usually int he path of hurricanes still have to think about the crazy weather that comes from the hurricane aftermath and outer bands. Homes are still damaged and insurance is still affected. Thanks for the reminder!
at what point will the ObamaHeads stop blaming and dwelling on an administration that hasn’t been in power for over 2 years and actually start focusing on the PRESENT. This is the time for CHANGE, right?
Well, maybe we’ll get over it when the memories fade about:
False war based on phony charges of WMD
Botched war in Afganistan
Absolute failure to respond to Katrina
Tax cuts that turned a massive budget surplus into a deficit
Gutted regulatory oversight of the financial markets that led to the 2008 meltdown
Largest assault on constitutional rights in living memory
The TARP program that funneled billions of dollars without oversight
Gutted EPA laws and protection enacted over the prior 20 years.
Changes in energy policy (negotiated in secret by D. Cheney) to lessen government oversight in drilling operations.
Outing of a CIA agent (Valery Plame) as political payback, which ruined the life of one person, put spouses of all US diplomats in danger, and exposed a clasified CIA operation (Others who said they worked for the fictitious company the VP said she worked for).
Allowed Medicare Part D to pass without any sort of funding which further cut away the surplus GB inherited.
was the deficit under Bush higher or lower than under Obama? Just a question…
My point: Bush made mistakes. The Iraq War (which was supported by most) was a mistake. Afghanistan is a mess regardless of who is in office. Katrina proved the federal government can’t do anything. What caused the recession is up for debate (fannie and freddie, anyone?)
However, Obama only points the finger. I could list Obama’s shortcomings, but there’s obviously no point.
Yup, and all of them poor Dems were sitting on the sidelines waiting to be called into the game. Sure has been great since 06 when they got the Congress and 08 for the WH. I know, it was much worse then we thought… that evil genius/moron Bush.
I wonder if Barney or Chris had anything to do with the housing failure.
Obama does not point the finger. He is constantly forced to deal with misinformation (death panels, failure to recognize tax cuts Obama signed into law for low income families which were expanded when Obama signed the economic recovery package last year). and criticism from the right who do nothing but say no to everything. Where were the tea baggers when the surplus turned into a deficit??
I’m actually not a “tea bagger”, D…I’m a moderate. I’m ok with gay marriage, pro choice, but against gun control, pro Free Market, etc…I vote based on the issues, not the party.

we almost forgot that hurricane was there! Good thing we have FEMA to set the standard for hurricane preparedness!
your sarcasm is duly noted, and ignored.
You’re doin’ a hellava job Brownie…

amazing how nobody ever mentioned the federal governments (lack of) assistance in the Nashville floods.

Only if the price was right.

Hmmm, did I leave anything out?
Yes 3 more things:
Gutted EPA laws and protection enacted over the prior 20 years.
Changes in energy policy (negotiated in secret by D. Cheney) to lessen government oversight in drilling operations.
Outing of a CIA agent (Valery Plame) as political payback, which ruined the life of one person, put spouses of all US diplomats in danger, and exposed a clasified CIA operation (Others who said they worked for the fictitious company the VP said she worked for).
Allowed Medicare Part D to pass without any sort of funding which further cut away the surplus GB inherited.
Thanks, D, forgot about all of those…

Financial Reform
Health Insurance Reform
Sorry, I could only name two.
Wally, please list Obama’s shortcomings. I’d like to know. Not trolling.
