Unfair to Compare Katrina with the Oil Spill

Onceler said:
Oh, yeah - no problem. I know you definitely don't want to start talking about Bush's other debacle.

Sorry - history is just against you on Bush's response to Katrina. Like I said, it's synonymous w/ Presidential incompetence. You can blame "liberals" for that all you want, and try to rewrite history, but it won't fly.

And that's fine that history views it that way, it's probably fitting that we hold presidents accountable that way, I am not complaining about it now, I can accept that most Americans feel Bush dropped the ball on Katrina.... but the same standard will also apply to Obama. Except, in the case of Obama, he has not even attempted to do the minimal things he could have done, all he has done is point a finger of blame at BP and cuss to show his 'anger' between his social engagements. So, the chips will fall where they may with public perception, I just wanted to point out the contrast between what Bush did during Katrina, and what Obama has completely failed to do here.
 
The fact that libtards don't lke Obama being judged worse than Bush amuses me. Their distaste for it doesn't change that's how the American people feel. And republicans would be retarded not to bring it up daily.

President Bush never made any statement regarding boots on the neck or kicking the ass of those who engineered the levies. In fact, Bush never attempted to blame the crisis on anyone or hold anyone accountable for it. Instead, he employed the services of two former presidents to appeal to the American people for donations. Americans responded by contributing more than for any disaster in American history. Obama has still not declared this a federal disaster.

this is one major glaring difference between bush and obama...bush came out immediately and accepted full responsibility and didn't blame anyone else or decades of cozy relationships with so and so....

the dem governor and mayor were non stop blaming bush...bush never once blamed them...it is very typical of dems, the blame must always land somewhere else

Shouldn't you be out starting threads about me? Or doing your usual "lying" thing, Yurtsie?

Actually, history is pretty clear & pretty definitive on Katrina. Even uber-hack Dixie acknowledges that. Your boy loses when it comes to that event.

Sorry 'bout that, Yurtsie!

no, history is not clear....YOUR version in YOUR mind may be...but that is because you suffer extreme partisan delusions...please stop foisting your opinions off as fact or history

Actually, Yurtsie - it IS clear. Even many on the right acknowledge that it's one of Bush's worst moments.

You're kidding, right? Are you so desperate to disagree with me that you ignore something so clear?

Weird, Yurtsie. You're better off just starting more threads about me!

:clink:
 
onceler's view of the world:

katrina: bush can do nothing, therefore he sucks and is responsible for everything

BP oil leak: obama can do nothing, therefore, he is awesome and responsible for nothing
 
Lame, Yurtsie. Think I've seen that before, as well.

Seriously - start more threads about me. It's the really cool thing to do!

LOL

Seen that same post before. Like, a few minutes ago, when you posted it on another thread. Because you just thought it was soooooo clever, you had to post it twice!

"Rationally debate"....what? That Bush & Katrina haven't gone down in history as a glaring example of executive incompetence? Good luck with that one.

Yurtsie!

Do you not believe time changes perceptions of history? If you don't, I have numerous examples... Nixon's trip to China... at the time, he was resoundingly criticized for it... turns out to be one of his greatest accomplishments. Ronald Reagan walking out of the SALT2 treaties on the Soviets... at the time, he was lambasted for making a critical strategic mistake that could have catastrophic effects... turns out, that was pretty much the final blow to the Soviet Union. LBJ's signing the CRA of 1964... He didn't think the South would vote Democrat for another 50 years, that's how unpopular his actions were. Truman dropping the atomic bomb... Lincoln suspending habeas corpus... FDR interning Japanese-Americans... Some of these things are still not popular, but for the most part, at the time they happened, people thought the same way as you are thinking regarding Bush's handling of Katrina. Time changes perspectives of history, it always has and always will.

Ironically, I actually think this oil spill, and the Obama administration's failure to lead, will cancel out the relatively recent criticisms of Bush and Katrina, because it is the same conceptual argument.... Federal response to a major disaster. In the case of Bush/Katrina, it was argued that Bush was incompetent and inept at dealing with the crisis because he was a Republican, and a Democrat like Barrack Obama would have done a better job of mobilizing the federal response and the catastrophe would have been mitigated. But we see with the oil debacle, the same exact inept federal response, the same incompetence, and the same impending catastrophe... WITH the people in charge who vowed that wouldn't ever be the case! In any event, it all sort of vindicates Bush on Katrina.

loser
 
Onceler said:
You brought up Katrina, did you not? It is in the subject of this thread, is it not?

Sorry if my posts ring true to you. Deep down, I'm sure you know how far you are in the bag for Bush & the right....

Wrong again peckerhead...

I didn't bring up Katrina....and it was in the first post..

My post was about a PREVENTABLE oil spill.....and the FACT that the Obama admin. fucked up......................................again.
 
Onceler said:
Sure, that's it...you're a hoot Yurtsie!

Ooooh....I'm so mad right now. Maybe I'll go start a thread about you...

:eek:

care to actually address substance or are we all going to be treated with more of your obsessive flaming yurtsie talk?

katrina: bush can do nothing, therefore he sucks and is responsible for everything

BP oil leak: obama can do nothing, therefore, he is awesome and responsible for nothing

^real simple....show how i am wrong^

You lost me at "Bush can do nothing." How does that kind of koolaid drenched apologist talk hold up anywhere? I'm not even sure you could get away with that calling in to Hannity.

What a good try though, Yurtsie! I now you think it's all kinds of clever, but unfortunately, it couldn't quite fly.

I don't know why you're not taking my advice & starting more threads about me...

:clink:
 
still no substance.....

onceler's view of the world:

katrina: bush can do nothing, therefore he sucks and is responsible for everything

BP oil leak: obama can do nothing, therefore, he is awesome and responsible for nothing

no doubt he will entertain us with more obsessive personal love talk...but maybe he will surprise us and actually address substance...

if my point is so 'bad'....surely you can easily counter it without devolving into your obsessive homo love talk about deal ol' yurtsie
 
Yurtsie's version of the world: a lame, hacktacular attempt at a play on words comparing Katrina & BP (that has been repeated about 5-6 times, and counting - since it's so clever!) = massive, indisputable "substance."

When are you planning on starting the next thread about me, Yurtsie?
 
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

onceler obviously knows he can't defend his stance that - bush can do nothing equals bad - obama can do nothing equals good....

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

drum roll the continual flaming onceler loves yurtsie replies........
