ROOT OF ALL EVIL: Boooshitler's Air Force One flyover of the hurricane ravaged Gulf Coast.
WHAT A SWELL GUY: Obama's Air Force One flyover of flood ravaged New England.
From Arianna Huffington, in 2005:
"Apparently, the president "sat somberly on a couch on the left hand side of the presidential jumbo jet peering out the window" at the catastrophe below, joined at different times by White House staffers including Karl Rove and Scott McClellan. McClellan later quoted the president as saying, "It's devastating. It's got to be doubly devastating on the ground." Ya think?? Hey, here's an idea, Mr. President: maybe you should, y'know, get off the plane and see for yourself?"
How odd that Arianna has made no mention of Obama's "detached, disconnected, and disengaged" flyover of flood ravaged New England this past week. And just like the flood ravaged Mid West in 2008, Spicoli and other hollyweird hypocrites are no where to be found. I'm sure they all have the best of intentions, though.
But some people did notice that Obama didn't "get off the plane and see for yourself."
From CNS News:
"President Barack Obama was scheduled to fly past flood-ravaged Rhode Island aboard Air Force One twice on Thursday as he traveled to Maine to give an afternoon speech lauding his health care bill, then to Boston for an evening fundraiser for the Democratic Party, and then back to Washington, D.C. late Thursday night.
Spokespersons for the Obama administration did not respond to CNSNews.com’s questions about the disaster, including why the president didn’t visit R.I., if he planned to do so in the near future and whether he could survey any of the extensive destruction caused by what the state’s governor is calling the worse flooding in 200 years."
Silly governor. A speech and a fund raiser are very important. After all, Obama is a very busy insurance salesman. Although, apparently, flooding isn't covered under your policy.
So sorry.
Arianna Huffington, call yer office.
