Where was Barack Hussein Obama when all those poor blacks were dying in the heat-wave in Chicago back when Clinton was in office?

Funny, William Billy-Joe-Bob Clinton couldn't seem to get himself off the golf course for that one.

Never heard so much as a peep from the MSM, either.

This republic will not survive the continued neglect of its people.-Neal Boortz

After a generation of preferences, these Blacks had better start doing it on their own.  They don't know what anger is until they see the real anger in Amaerica at this continuing welfare society. 

Black dispair?  That's what happens when you keep voting Democrat for 40 plus years. 

Hmmm...I wonder if Barrack Obama knows that Democrats started the KKK and that it was in fact the REPUBLICANS who created the civil rights bills. Also wouldn't that mean Democrats are the reason that african-americans have suffered so much since it was DEMOCRATS who opposed the Civil Rights Act. He should check up on the Democrats history =P

Does Obama Seek to Incite Blacks to Riot?

And, what's with "1991?"

 Obama does protect himself a bit by noting that his view of the rising discontent and despair amongst blacks by saying, ''but the poverty and the hopelessness was there long before the hurricane." However, as the AP piece makes noted of, Obama repeatedly pointed the finger at President Bush as the underlying cause of this discontent.

It is true, the "poverty and the hopelessness was there [New Orleans] long before the hurricane [Katrina] hit. In 1965, just before Hurricane Betsy (a slightly stronger hurricane than, and which hit New Orleans more directly than Katrina), the population of New Orleans was growing by leaps and bounds and stood at 702,108. Just five years prior, in 1960, it stood at 627,525. That was one booming town.

Then Betsy hit. Fortunately for the folks of the lower 9th ward, which was completely inundated by the flood waters, the evacuation was much more orderly than in 2005, when Mayor Nagin, a black man, ignored the President's personal request, and neglected to order (as well, as he had not planned for the disaster and the care of his people) the evacuation, until it was too late. Betsy resulted in about 75 deaths - Katrina, well over 1,000.

Yes, we've seen pictures of President Johnson flying over flooded New Orleans, and yes he went and visited, and yes he called for great improvements and reconstruction. The Corps responded and - some, of which, the City of New Orleans (and levee boards) opposed. One of these projects were building flood gates across the canals into the city from the lake. Had they been constructed as the Federal government wanted done, they would have been closed prior to Katrina's storm surge (unless Nagin nixed that also),the water would have been kept out of these canals. The Superdome and the Convention Center would not have become the island, in a sea of despair that it was to be. Under president Bush's administration, these locks have now been ordered constructed, and the work, I believe (don't look to the news to find out) is almost completed.

Similar relatively straightforward projects have also been on the drawing board for years, including closing MRGO, the intercoastal canal which parallels the north edge of the lower 9th ward. Gov. Blanco has now signed off of going ahead with the closure. Combined with a few other improvements, a reasonable chance exists that the flooding would have been minimized. Back to Hurricane Betsy. The Media, in little tid-bits from time to time has led us to believe that under LBJ's leadership, we all joined together, and New Orleans came right back to life.

Remember now. Pop. was 702,108 in 1965, before Betsy. 1980 - By 1980, it stood at 557,515; by 2000, at 484,674; and by 2003, it had dwindled down to 469,032. 233,000 people had fled New Orleans from the time of the Great Society, the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

Sen. Obama, something was going on in New Orleans long before President Bush's days, and long before 1991.

Back in 1992, Homestead Florida was devastated by Hurricane Andrew. Now, Homestead finds itself next to a US Air Force Base. It's on flat ground - easy to get to during the recovery effort (you don't need boats and helicopters - you can drive right up to it). Other than 18 wheelers loaded with FEMA Ice getting trucked back and forth all over the country, Homestead had a bit of a problem.

You see, by 2002, covering 8 years of the Clinton administration, and the last and first year of the Bush 1 and 2 administrations, Homestead was not rebuilt in 2, 3, or 4 years. In fact, at the 10 year anniversary - hey you folks can search - but, well the leads go like this:

For the hard-hit city of Homestead, it's been a tough 10 years. Ten 10 years later, the effects can still be felt.

August 19: Building Andrew did more than devastate South Florida: It exposed dangerous shortcomings in ...

Time and time again, we have heard - we have read, that "nothing is being done to help people rebuild in New Orleans; that Bush does not like Black people; that other than trailers parked somewhere in a field in Arkansas, there is no federal aid to help. Oh, yea? The Federal government passed and Bush signed a historic amount of money to help folks rebuild in New Orleans, and along the Gulf Coast. It has been funded, and turned over to the state of Louisiana and to Mississippi to manage and to distribute. This is not in the form of low interest federal loans - rather, it is in the form of grants. Tax-free. It is to cover uninsured losses.

How much money? The maximum grant per home is $150,000. But there is enough money there that target an estimated 200,000 households, for each to receive an average payout of $85,000 each.

Maybe Obama should do his job as Senator, and in his speeches spread the good word about what is available to help instead of inciting people to riot.

“This administration was color blind in its incompetence. But everyone here knows that the disaster and the poverty happened long before the hurricane hit."

Color-blind in its incompentence?  What does that even mean, Obama?  And just I hint for the rest of us, whenever a lib usues the prefix "everybody knows" oh man, that's code for, I really don't have a clue, so I'll just assume that everyone in the whole world agrees with me.

"Brian Williams on Tuesday decided to showcase a clip of Obama
delivering a standard liberal critique of President Bush for not
spending enough federal money on social programs."

HOW MUCH FREAKIN' MONEY DO YOU NEED? He has already spent more on entitlement programs than any other President. And it still isn't enough. And newsflash, Mr. Osama Obama, it never will be enough.

In these mondern times when you can't tell you AC's from your DC's, I find no relevency in  the broadcast news shows.  I once watched the evening news and even some of the morning shows (I called them the meaningless and pointless morning drivel).  Over time I quit watching all these shows because they became so ridiculously biased in their coverage.  Couric and Williams and Lauer reeked of liberalism to the point of becoming unwatchable.  Now I'm in my third year of ignoring all broadcast news.  Have never seen Couric in her new 'dim talking points' slot, have never seen Charles Gibson?, and saw Brian Williams once while sitting in an airport bar.  To call these news titans 'comic' would be to credit them with some merit.  I choose to think of them as oracles of the modern liberal times which confuse everybody and make the world seem not what it is.  I think they're all Bozos on that bus.
