Because sure the fed govt was tardy in its response to katrina, but the City of New Orleasn led by Mayor "Chocolate City" Nagin and the state of LA led by Govt Blanco was even worse, and with any Natural Disaster, the primary responsibility is with the local and state govt.Ibanez wrote:halfrican? Grow up. So you're telling me, that after a minimum of 8 years, these people finally had enough and it just happens when Democrates take the White House? please, these people are transparent. Why wasn't they "tea party" established after the Katrina fiasco, or the Bush's Stimulus, TARP, etc...BDKJMU wrote:
There were a lot of people pissed off about the bank bailouts in late 08'. But the govt isn't running the banks like they are GM.
You didn't recall these people in 08' because And it takes time for these movements to foment and:
-No massive pork laden, stimulus bill till 09'.
-No quasi nationalization fo the car companies till 09' (People used the arguement that the financial system would collapse if the banks weren't bailed out. Was no such arguement for GM & Chrysler).
-The deficit didn't more than triple till 09'.
-No giant turd of health care bill till 09'.
-No cap and tax bill till 09'.
-No broken Obama promises till 09' (the continuation of pork laden earmarks, same old special interest influence, lobbyists in the WH, etc).
It has nothing to do with a halfrican American in the WH.
Bush's stimulus was peanuts compared to Obama's 09' stimulus, about 1/5 of the size.
As I said, the bailouts started under Bush. He started the fire. Obama threw gasoline on it in 09'. And like beating a dead horse, the bailouts didn't start till fall 08'. Movements don't happen in an instant. They take time to foment.
Again, the turd of a health care bill and cap and tax didn't come out till 09'
Obama's broken promises weren't till 09'.
Again, Obama is exploding govt spending far faster than Bush.
