Obama's Katrina Controversy

[shamsham1983]

Obama is destroying America in purpose to built Israel!

[BlameRepublicans]

Is your old man that faggot who wears roller skates and a badly soiled tutu and holds a cardboard sign that reads "Dr. Disco needs love"?

[BlameRepublicans]

Poke fun? There's nothing funny about Republicans losing that war for us.

[BlameRepublicans]

Stop making excuses for sub-par people like your old man. While you whine, lie, make meaningless threats, and wallow in a sea of hypocrisy and specious reasoning we Liberals will do what we do best take care of America. We clean up after losers like you. Please tell me your old man was KIA. The thought of my tax dollars paying for his diapers, Disulfiram and trailer park pad for his Winnebago makes me ill.

[BlameRepublicans]

If loser talk and excuse making didn't work for GW Bush why do you think it will work to re-write the Nixon loss? Obviously your old man was not in the service. You are full of shit.

[BlameRepublicans]

After reading your post I went back to my history book and Liberals *still* won our wars and the scum coward right wing losers (like you) lost Vietnam for us. You should be ashamed of your loser old man. How many babies to he catch on his bayonet? How many kids did he rape? He should have fought harder and got us a victory instead of a disgrace. Hum - that's at least 2 failures for which your old man is responsible.

[BlameRepublicans]

Nope.  We Liberals win wars. Useless cowards like you father lost it for us. You are the son of a loser.

[maxine2win]

evictor09 = nasty piece of shit

[BlameRepublicans]

Liberals win wars. As you just verified above we Liberals won every battle we fought in Vietnam yet the clueless piece of SHIT right wing still found a way to fuck it up and lose it. Ask your old man if he saw Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, or Reagan when he was over there in Vietnam with Gray Davis, Chuck Robb, Al Gore, Bob Kerrey, John Kerry, Max Cleland, Leonard Boswell, "Pete" Peterson and Mike Thompson.

[BlameRepublicans]

The White house website is easily researched. Nothing on the site isn't backed up in the foot notes. Just becuase you hate "niggers" as you call them - it doesn't mean President Obama's website is inaccurate. Find one thing on his site that is a lie. You can't.

[BlameRepublicans]

Collapse? Hardly. The "blue" and "red" states both pay taxes into the Fed. The Blue states send in more than we get back. You useless fucks in the red states take more than you give. Just like idle rich - we would prosper without your fecal presence stinking up liberty. You couldn't even win Vietnam yet We libs won WWII and saved the world. You lose you fucking fuck.

[BlameRepublicans]

How is your hatered of Obama just b/c he's black translate into me being a race baiter? We've all heard your lies before. Clinton stoked the fires in spite of the GOP, not becuase of them. If every right winger dropped dead tomorrow - America would be much better off.

[BlameRepublicans]

"show me" hey lazy bones - go do your own research. I do mine. You can start at the White House website the CBO, etc...I learned long ago no matter what proof I provide to you Nazis you will say the evil jew media is making it up.

[BlameRepublicans]

Sorry but your race hate is showing. Clinton's law was intended to ensure the rights of minorities were protected. You hate minorities so much you try to blame the protection of the rights of minorities for your failures. DEMOCRATIC CEOs? You fucking worthless idiot. You are so fucking stupid it's funny. So in your sad little world the GOP was responsible for the Clinton boom and the Dems are to blame for the Bushruptcy? MORON!!!!!!

[BlameRepublicans]

Nope - sorry Bill Clinton left the White House with a half trillion surplus. You fucked it all up and gave it to the rich

[BlameRepublicans]

No - sorry. You are making shit up.

[BlameRepublicans]

The Center for Economic and Policy Research agrees with me. The failures that destroyed the economy would not have happened had the GOP not deregulated it. You are a liar, a coward, and anti-American. I would have told you to man up but you lack that ability.

[BlameRepublicans]

The GOP is 100% responsible for the economic collapse. It was the GOP who deregulated the finance industry and allowed non banking entities to act as banks without FDIC protections. Protections that FDR put in place to prevent another Great Depression.  The good news is I hear less and less of you pussies weeping about Obama. Youve shot you wad, trickle down has been exposed for the lie its always been. You lose PUSSY.

[BlameRepublicans]

No. I'm not interested in any of your garabge opinion. People like you are responsible for helping Bush wreck the country. Asking you about fixing America is like asking a child molester to design a play ground. You input is not welcomed here anymore.

[BlameRepublicans]

"And they have no disregard for human life." --George W. Bush, on the brutality of Afghan fighters, Washington, D.C., July 15, 2008

[BlameRepublicans]

Bush can't use a door knob properly - he's too stupid (I.Q. 97 to 89 half that of President Obama) to design anything. He did cut the Army Corp of Engineers funding with got the desired results. Lots of dead black folks.

[BlameRepublicans]

"I'm telling you there's an enemy that would like to attack America, Americans, again. There just is. That's the reality of the world. And I wish him all the very best." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Jan. 12, 2009

[BlameRepublicans]

See everyone? This is the ****REAL**** reason the right wing cowards hate Obama. They're a bunch of stupid racists. If you stand against racism, you must stand with your President. If not - you deserve deportation or death.

[BlameRepublicans]

SO you admit you hate America, and everything we Americans stand for? Good. I hope you your hatred of America subsides or gets you killed.

[mmj75]

levees before Bush & I was born, The army corps were drinking coffee in the mornings at Cafe du Monde. Can't sue the Corp they are untouchable. The flood in the lower ninth ward & St. Bernard was caused by a barge left in the Mississippi Gulf Outlet known as MR.GO AFTER the hurricane passed. Mr. Go has now been shut down. WELL in New Orleans you can build levees all around which sits like a bowl; when there's a breach the bowls fills up. That was the difference of St. bernard & New Orleans

[dkkght46]

I said that to you just now I do not need Rush to say it for me. We deserve it to fail as will your Lord Obama and we deserve to have this happen as this is how assclowns like you want it. Hey I am game and I am a conservative, get it right fuckface..

[ClassicFIHD]

4 hour photo-op.

[BlameRepublicans]

Spoken like an angry sore loser. Again.

[dkkght46]

I did not support Bush and I certainly think Odumbo is 20 times worst. I voted for Odumbo and what a mistake that was. Should have seen he was a Marxist prior to voting but I finally woke up.

[BlameRepublicans]

Yet another piece of shit who lies about supporting bush. Funny how all you independent voters only bitch about Democrats. Go fuck yourself scumbag. You picked bush, you fucked up the country. Failing to support Obama is failing to support America.

[dkkght46]

Ok then I hope America fails and you my friend will be the one hit hardest. We deserve to become a banana republic and you dont have a clue if I supported Bush or not. I only know one thing and this is Odumbo will make Carter a great president.

[BlameRepublicans]

"I hope America fails." -Rush Limbaugh

Spoken like a died in the wool right wing jackass. I am very much looking forward to the extinction of you failed party and agenda.

[oiyabastard]

@dkkght46 U COULD ALWAYS YOU TUBE RON PAUL AND SEE WHAT U THINK?

[BlameRepublicans]

Spoken like a typical trash GOP supporting coward pig.

[BlameRepublicans]

Bush already kiled the economy. Your shit post here is just more tired scare tactics. Fuck the corporations. Let them go find cheaper places to set up shop. None of us benefit from it anyway. It's all held back only to be enjoyed by the rich. Fuck them. Let them move to Afghanistan. CUT the DOD to prove you want "less government". Your agenda failed us. Not President Obama.

[mmj75]

didn't the money go to ACORN and ACORN said they used the money to build thousands of homes. And are we still talking about the same Katrina that happened 5 YEARS AGO

[BlameRepublicans]

The Republicans killed 2,500 Americans in the wake of Katrina. I helped collect the putrefied corpses. I saw less government hard at work. Acorn is a meaningless bullshit invention of you fucking morons in the right wing who are too lazy to get up off your fat useless asses to go help and see the world as it is rather than the world as told to you by Bill OReilly. Theres a big difference fucking idiot.

[mmj75]

Republicans didn't kill 2500 for Katrina, AFTER the Hurricane, a barge hit the levee & the water went into to lower 9th ward & st bernard parish, it was the corps of engineering who didn't clear the river, then there was a breach on the east bank so before calling me a fucking idiot, St. bernard parish is back on recovery, New Orleans who is run by demos is still crying for help, after 5 yrs so apparently you wasn't here to pick up corpses or here, you would know this

[BlameRepublicans]

Who cut the Army corps of engineers budgets so badly they had no means of maintaining to dikes? REPUBLICANS. I was dispatched with my office as part of the clean up. We lived in tents in Baton Rouge. Public Health Service was responsible for running the field hospitals erected to care for the response workers. Bucking responsibility and making excuses for the Republicans PROVES that you are a fucking asshole. Any other questions for me, ASSHOLE?

[mmj75]

Do all demo explain themselves cursing like you, is the English Language too hard for you. One you didn't stay in no tent in Baton Rouge, please, What dikes? The levees have been here before any Bush President, so you know what you are just another typical idiot who writes and curses before doing your homework.

[BlameRepublicans]

Oh so its your contention that New Orleans has no dikes? Numb nuts New Orleans is below sea level. You would know that if you werent full of shit. Moron turn on your 3 brain cells and process this we were stationed in Baton Rouge and drove the 80 some miles to work in N.O. how fucking STUPID are you douche bag?

[BlameRepublicans]

oh yeah - talking about the non-issue Acorn is yet more proof you are a fucking asshole. Now do you understand, ASSHOLE?

[undocumentedspot]

Why only CBS on youtube has annoying ads, not enough the adsense, you add annoying video. glad AP and AFP , BBC and many others here don't do that. CBS= Crap Bull Shit

[dkkght46]

Obama's strategy is to appear to unite people? Of course, to unite them, you have to divide them, first. That way you can save the day for our Nobel prize whiner. Who needs the Chocolate City when you have better blues clubs in the Windy City. He doesnt have time to waist on these peasants , he has a world to save and a country to transform . Anyone who dares question the chosen one is really just a racist. Wheres Kanye West telling us how much the President hates black people?

[BlameRepublicans]

Poor little idiot KKK guy. You hate poopy niggers don't you? Assholes like you had 8 years with bush and you wrecked us. Sorry moron. YOU LOSE.

[mmj75]

Dude did you forget to take your medication?

[BlameRepublicans]

"dude" you've been bitch slapped.

[mmj75]

why do you use the n word isn't it time for you bedtime or something, one you are very immature, so I figure you must me about 13 years old, 2. you know nothing as far as history, so dude you are a loser

[BlameRepublicans]

That was pretty cutting. How "Fox and Friends" hasn't picked you up on contract is beyond me.

[mmj75]

am i right are you about 13 years old? You are very poor communicator and besides you are starting to bore me, yawn, so you can comment me all you want I am not going to argue with you, I discuss with people but don't argue with idiots, and dear you are an idiot, bet you can't handle that without cursing lol

[BlameRepublicans]

13? Didnt I see you on To Catch A Predator? Sick fuck, Im only 9. By the time Im 13 your primitive intellect wont allow you to follow me. I'm sorry I don't meet your high standards. Too bad you didn't hold the GOP to high standards or any standard at all. I'm glad to hear you won't continue what you call "arguing" with me.

[TerryEFV2]

"Mr. Obama"

Loved that, valued as a man.

Want to know what he values, listen to this man speak to a child.

[wayneo169]

Today 10/15/2009 Obama makes promises to assist in the efforts in rebuilding New Orleans from the devastation of Katrina but states that politic's has slowed the process yet also today Obama signs a policy to send 7 Billion US Dollars over the next 3 years to assist the Pakistan Government .. hmmmm why can't you cut out the red tape in Washington and help our own people Mr President and Washington Politicians ??? what's up with that ?

[BlameRepublicans]

The right wing cries "welfare" if we help people with money.  If we spend 100,000 times as much on bombs the right wingers get wet in their pussies and wave plastic flags.

[bolitapelona]

Obama has to cater to his Rich Banker freinds, he has no time for the Poor. I always knew that. At least Bush stayed and talked to people for a couple of days. Shit he stayed long enough to see the entire south coast. Obama was afraid the poor blacks might mugg him.

[HemiHead66]

Ya know, bolitapelona , you must be the dumbest fuck on the face of the earth. In your first post you bash the shit out of Obama for free hand-outs and catering to lazy welfare cases. Then in your second post you say he caters to his rich banker friends and has no time for the Poor. You are so full of fucking shit I can smell it from here. Who was it that just took student loans away from the bankers and saved taxpayers 80 billion over 10 years? Obama. And the Repubs voted against it.

[HemiHead66]

Ya know, there is a way to cut taxes so that were competitive with other countries. Stop spending so much. And they should start with defense. What the hell are we doing spending more on defense than every country in the world combined? Is that what it takes to stay ahead of them? And John McCain was right about all that pork. The only problem is - the Republicans have just as much as the Dems. And look what Obama did today - another 7.5 billion handed over to Pakistan. Un-F'n-believable!

[gregory483]

What controversy?

The report said that administration officials have visited 35 times and more than one billion dollars has been freed up from red tape.

[HemiHead66]

Ah - they're just pissing in the wind. Anything to do a little complaining about Obama. The way they made it sound - I thought he spent about 15 minutes there and ran off. But what was he there for - 4 hours? The Repubs probably paid someone to complain.

[gregory483]

I agree.

So President Obama spent 4 hrs in New Orleans and he's not going on a tour of the city--is that supposed to mean that he doesn't care about New Orleans? Of course not. But CBS spend time and money on a non-news story--what a waste.

[HemiHead66]

Yeah - it's right up there with Obama don't care about the troops because he's not going to be coerced into sending 40,000 more when a bunch of jerk-offs say so. And during the election it was - Obama didn't visit the wounded troops in Germany because he wanted to play basketball. Talk about brain-dead. That's what you get from listening too to much Beck and Limbaugh.

[HemiHead66]

Yeah - you keep believing that Laffer curve bullshit. I'll send ya the info from the Bush Presidency. And you're right - the rich do move their businesses overseas to avoid taxes. Even with Bush's tax cuts it won't be enough to keep them here. On top of the lower tax rate they've got loopholes out the ass that leaves them paying hardly any tax at all. Go look up subsidiaries in the Caimans. And I'm sure you've heard about the tax havens that were shut down in Switzerland? + No environmental law

[HemiHead66]

You're the one that's ignorant. The only thing Bush's tax cuts did was add 2.5 trillion in debt - and help the rich move our jobs overseas. The growth driver during the Bush administration was home equity extraction - which really did wonders for the American people.  When growth in consumer spending is 72% faster than growth in income you know there's a problem. Cut taxes + Borrow = Bubble & Bust. And there was a nice jump in income inequality with the top 1% benefiting again.

[BlameRepublicans]

See? A little Nazi love-in between two neo cons.  Told ya.

[BlameRepublicans]

Historically - sure you've been in power here and there, but it always lead to total collapse of our economy. Your greedy pigs whom you serve cause the poverty in the USA. Greedy blind cowards like you brought the towers down. We deserved it for allowing GOP to rig both elections. Sorry.

[bolitapelona]

Obama Likes the Rich Communist stupid ass hole. Your head is so far up your ass your unable to see that. but thats cool. You deserve what comes out of this administration. Free hand me outs to all the Lazy welfare cases. You must be part of the Union or on Welfare I bet.

[BlameRepublicans]

zzzzzz........zzzzzz.......zzz­zzz

[jwv651]

starraider113.. I'm from Chicago and your right it is corrupted and getting worse. Taxes are going through the roof and were getting less services. Unemployment is horrible. Crime against kids is going crazy. No one is doing squat about it. Obama did nothing to improve Chicago or IL. He just voted present most of the time in office here. Plus...Daley is the most corrupted Mayor in the country.

[jwv651]

BlameRepublicans I voted for Pres Obama and wish I could take back my vote...the man talks a good game but doesn't accomplish much. The way I see it Obama is as bad as Bush.

[BlameRepublicans]

No you didn't. Anyone smart enough to vote for Obama is smart enough not to take the whining liars in the right wing seriously.

[BlameRepublicans]

No the rich got all the welfare from Bush. His yearly tax cut welfare handout to the wealthy cost us 1.3 trillion dollars every year Bush was in. I thought GOP didn't like welfare? Asshole. Thankfully you idiots are no longer relevant.

[bolitapelona]

Way to go Obama. You have more time to fly to evening Gala Events with your wife than you do taking care of the promisses you made to the People of New Orleans. What a dick head! He cant even keep that promise, oh but he will sure go to Europe and fight for the Olympics for Chicago who is in much better shape that New Orleans. I'm sorry New Orleans that Obama does not care for the Poor. He Loves the Rich Bankers that Bankrolled his election. Now we see the True Colors of this Rich Ass Hole.

[BlameRepublicans]

Ahh I see. We Democrats are so racist we picked Obama to run for us. It's also the reason we champion civil rights, hate crime laws, and social safety laws intended to help impoverished Americans a large percentage of whom are minorities. Do you idiots actually believe your own bullshit?

[maxine2win]

starraider113 = idiot

[VictoryCough]

Things have not been rebuilt in NOLA because of the building codes and requirements. Let's talk about anything but the wars, including giving a man who authorized the bombing of civilian pakistanis a Nobel peace prize.

[BlameRepublicans]

Jealous asshole cunts like you are funny. You never gave a fuck about civilians when the GOP murdered over 400,000 of them in Iraq so your worthless opinion is not welcome here fool.

[azvarych]

...and let's not forget that Iran's leadership changed to one that is now antagonistic to the US and her allies under a democratic president, Mr Carter. C'mon - BlameRepublicans has the blinders on and can't see the world realistically. Part of the problem on both sides of any debate is emotion rather than facts. Also the road for the 'peace time economic boom' was paved by Ronald Reagan... Check your history...

[cwhitedog]

Part of the controversy might be that he went to New Orleans instead of where Katrina hit- in Mississippi!

[BlameRepublicans]

Bush cut funding to the Army Corp of Engineers to fund his needless war in Iraq. The levies failed because of this cut. You idiotic cunts can continue to blame the victims all you like but the majority of the nation is smarter than that.

[ironlungs33]

what the hell kind of HEADLINE is this? You make up a controversy, people read it and say to themselves "what controversy?"-

great "journalism" CBS. top notch. remind me not to tune in next time.

[MrCallipygous]

*sigh* Another made up controversy. This pathetic coverage is what passes for "news" these days. I suppose Obama should stay for a few days and rebuild a house.

How about a story on what is actually being done which, I assume, will continue whether a president visits or not.

[ronoc9]

I know. Thing is, you cant please everyone. If he stayed for a whole day some people would still bitch and some people would say "a day's too long".

It's funny, people always bang on about stuff like that but they forget something....HE'S THE PRESIDENT. He wakes up at 6 and BOOM he's got meetings, documents to look over, documents to sign, military strategy meetings, economic meetings, random shit like that.

[BlameRepublicans]

Remember the Nazis in the GOP will find fault with Obama no matter what he does. After all he's black and all right wingers are racist pieces of shit.

[slg1373]

Sounds like your the narrow minded racist. Study your history and you will find it was Democrats who were the racist.They were against desegregation and the civil rights movement. Oh Yeah, Abraham Lincolm was also a republican.

[BlameRepublicans]

It wouldn't be the first time you are totally incorrect, nor will it be your last. You fools had 8 years and you ruined the country. If you gave a fuck about America you would shut up, put your panties back on and help clean up the mess the GOP created and are now trying to blame on Obama. Douche bag.

[bullcurr]

Funny part is that people are still walking around with short tempers & looking like they are miserable 24 hours a day.

[bullcurr]

I thought that Obama was going to be the best thing & was the answer to everyone's prayers!

wow!

[BlameRepublicans]

It's you Nazis in the GOP who try to turn your politicians into Gods. Look at the excuse making and lies we hear from the right wing in defense of Bush.  The guy was an abject failure yet you worthless morons try to turn him into Jesus. I speak for all good Americans when I say we couldn't be happier with President Obama. Our view is not obscured by race hatred like yours.

[BlameRepublicans]

Remember the Liberals fostered the largest peace time economic boom in our history. It took the GOP 8 years of heavy assault to finally kill the economy. You can't expect Obama to repair the destruction your greed caused in a few months can you?

[BlameRepublicans]

It's important for President Obama to make such a visit. The Bush Administration's horrifically incompetent handling of Katrina serves as the gold standard for how NOT to react in an emergency. This visit helps remind the nation of how the right wing failed so miserably. The rotting corpses that littered the streets of New Orleans are a vivid reminder of what less government gets you.

[bigorod]

He can't go back? Louisiana ain't going no where.. He probably doesn't get 4 hours at home.

[betsall]

talk about ingrates...the fuckin pres has got things to do and people to see and u aint all that so stfu.

[jim6700]

wow talk about naive and not knowing what the president has been doing
