In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, George W. Bush was
criticized by the mainstream media for his slow response to the people of New
Orleans. FEMA trailers were slow in
arriving and food, clothing and federal funds seemed slow to arrive on
scene. The media and the liberal left blasted
the Bush administration and even went so far as to say Bush hated black people
and that's why the response was so slow.
Fast forward to October 2012. Hurricane Sandy hits New Jersey and slams New
York City. The day after, the President
travels to New Jersey for some pictures on Atlantic City beach, makes promises
that everyone will be taken care of, and then flies to Las Vegas the next
day.
In radio interviews yesterday I heard people from Staten
Island and the West Village say they are hungry, have no power and no water and
are defecating in the hallways of apartment buildings. There are also reports of people searching
dumpsters looking for food. While the
President is traveling about the country in style seeking re-election, the
people he promised help to really need
it. So where is the main stream media. If Bush was still President they'd be all
over him. Of course, they'd have blamed
the hurricane on him too.
In other news, yesterday in Ohio, President Obama was giving
a campaign speech and mentioned Mitt Romney. The crowd, showing just how much class they
had, began booing Romney's name. The
President help up his hand and said "Don't boo. Vote.
Voting is the best revenge."
Here's a question for the current President of the United
States and the leader of the free world...
Voting is the best revenge against who?
Against those of us who don't like your failed socialistic
policies? Against those who disagree
that government is the answer to all problems?
Against those of us who think
you're in way over your head? Or maybe
just against those of us who disagree with Barack Almighty...?
And what, exactly, needs to be avenged? Did our disagreement with you and your
policies do something to the rest of the country that needs avenged?
Personally, I believe Mr. Obama was trying to be cute and
sarcastic. It seems he sometimes forgets
the position he's in and the responsibility he has to act like an adult. More than once he has allowed his temper to
get the best of him an turn his actions and words into childish behavior. But then - taking care choosing your words
and actions are not really a part of typical Chicago politics. Ask Rahm Emmanuel.
Finally, there are numerous reports in various states that
voting machines are casting votes for President Obama even when the voters cast
their votes for Romney. If it was
happening in one state/town, I could maybe see a glitch or a malfunction that
was coincidental. But it has happened in
at least three states now: Kansas, Ohio
and North Carolina. In Nevada, the maintenance workers hired to maintain the
voting machines nationwide are members of none other than the ever-popular
SEIU, one of the President's favorite unions.
(You remember them - they're the ones who physically assaulted the black
Tea Party member in St. Louis who was handing out "Don't Tread On Me"
flags during a rally. They have been
tied to other political violence as well.
And speaking of unions - this week some non-union electricians
from Alabama drove to New Jersey to assist with restoring electricity to the
residents of the area hit by hurricane Sandy.
They were turned away by union electricians and told to "Go back
where you came from." They were
called "scab" and "scum" and several vulgar names that I
won't put in here.
Apparently, in New Jersey, union labor is more important
than the health, safety and comfort of the citizens. These non-union electricians were there to
help speed up the process of restoring power to the citizens but the
Electricians' Union didn't allow that to
happen. It's got to make an elderly
person with no electricity and no heat feel really good to know that while they
are suffering, at least there won't be any non-union workers helping out. We can't have that.
