Don’t ask me why I do it but I’m signed up for the Tea Party Nation’s email service. Several times a day I get emails where the teabaggers express their outrage and indignation at the latest government or liberal related atrocity.
Last night’s missive was a doozy. MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT OBAMA IS IN HAWAII. (membership req’d.)
I’ve been waiting patiently to see one of the net’s [sic] do this Blizzard of 2010 story and follow it with…..”Meanwhile, President Obama is in Hawaii playing his 4th or 5th round of golf during his vacation.” Hummmmm. Haven’t seen that yet…Imagine the stories if Bush were golfing in Hawaii during this East Coast Blizzard 2010? Transitions would be constantly heard on the evening news, and after reporting on Winter Whiteout 2010, it would go something like this; “…while America is digging out of two feet of crippling snow that has led to the death of dozens, President Bush is on vacation enjoying dinner in the warmth and comfort of his holiday home in Hawaii with another tee time scheduled for tomorrow.” The anchors would look at each other in disgust and refer to the people who are not being helped by their Commander in Chief.
The author then idiotically goes on to compare the east coast blizzard to Hurricane Katrina and the breaching of the New Orleans levee that resulted in over 1,500 deaths and thousands of people left homeless. He suggests thatV President Bush’s massive response failure during Katrina is somehow matched by President Obama’s response to this blizzard.
FFS. Talk about your false equivalencies…
I’m just sayin’…
