We have been warning from the very beginning that The Stupid Nation was transposing it's hopes and dreams into an unknown and empty vessel named Barack Hussein Obama.  We continue to predict that before the end, they will come to regret it.  In the eyes of the Stupid, and the leftist media, Obama can say no wrong, and do no wrong. 

Well, guess what.  It's day one, and Obama has already done wrong.  This infuriated us to the point where we have done a double posting in one day - rare for us, as we work for a living, and don't have gobs of time.

Here is this nugget of vile lies gleaned right off the off the White House web page.  Saintly Obama takes the cheapest of cheap shots at President George Bush, on the official government paid-for website no less, and it isn't even close to accurate.

"President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.

President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. Citing the Bush Administration's "unconscionable ineptitude" in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of low-income hurricane victims. Obama visited thousands of Hurricane survivors in the Houston Convention Center and later took three more trips to the region. He worked with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to introduce legislation to address the immediate income, employment, business, and housing needs of Gulf Coast communities.

President Barack Obama will partner with the people of the Gulf Coast to rebuild now, stronger than ever."

What a giant load of steaming crap.

Point #1)  Bush may recommend appropriations in his fiscal year budget submissions to Congress, but it is CONGRESS who doles out the cash.   The Bush Administration requested 105 billion in disaster relief as of 2006.  So, who REALLY broke "promises" to the stricken region?  Was it Bush, or was it Congress?  This missive is consistent with the vilification of George Bush as some sort of Romanesque Emperor, who enjoyed absolute power to allocate funds as he saw fit, and Congress entirely abrogated their role in Government.  This myth is an out and out lie.   CONGRESS (including then Senator Obama) didn't need President Bush's permission to allocate even more re-build funds to the stricken region.  They could have done so themselves.  And if Bush had chosen to use his veto power, as he very rarely did, CONGRESS had to power to over-rule him if it wanted to.  So let us ask again - WHO broke promises? 

Point #2) "Unconscionable ineptitude".  President Obama is apparently not aware of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) which establishes the National framework for disaster response.  President Obama is apparently also not aware of the pesky details contained within Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 100-707) - it's only been the law since 1988.  We guess that was so before Obama's time.    If you are a disaster first responder, as we are, then you know that the Federal Government, and President Bush in particular, was not to blame for the virtually non-existent response to Hurricane Katrina in the early days of the aftermath.   Despite the hype, the media propaganda, the hopelessly biased fact-finding commissions, and even President Bush foolishly accepting blame for something not of his making - it is a FACT that the "unconscionable ineptitude" originated with the City Government of New Orleans, and the state Government of Louisiana.  THEY are responsible, and THEY own the lions share of the blame.  The Feds certainly did not execute flawlessly, but it does not own that utter fiasco.  The Feds were taken  by complete surprise at how profoundly unprepared local and state government were despite ample warning.   NIMS and the Stafford Act clearly define disaster response as starting at the local level and flowing up.  The Federal Government may not act until the State Government formally requests assistance. 

Point #3)  With the Constitution of the United States of America as the ultimate controlling document, followed by the Stafford Act framework, and detailed in the NIMS protocol, by law the Federal Government is NOT a first responder entity in times of domestic disaster.  The Federal Government may not violate state sovereignty and inject itself unless the State requests assistance.  The Federal Government has NEVER been a first responder, and is barred by law from doing so, even today, well after Katrina.   

Point #4) "President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina."  Oh really.  Was that then Senator Obama zipping around the disaster area in a helicopter heroically plucking victims from roof-tops?  The disinformation insinuation here is that somehow, Obama responded more swiftly to the emergency than Bush.  BULL POOP!   The only thing Obama did swiftly was to pile on with all the other critics.  Big accomplishment that.

Point #5)  The truly massive scope of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, the largest in modern history, defies quick solutions.  Approximately 93,000 square miles were declared disaster areas - an area almost as large as the United Kingdom.

Perhaps $105,000,000,000 in disaster relief doesn't impress the newly ensconced Administration that talks trillion dollar deficits like yesterday's weather.   This web piece on the White House web site is a vile distortion of fact, and a low-brow cheap shot at former President Bush.  So we ask you - is THIS the Obama you were hoping for?

Is it?
