Polls show LA. Republicans blame Obama for post-Katrina response * 1
    #18745927 - 08/23/13 07:30 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Quote:

In answer to the question, "Who do you think was more responsible for the poor response to Hurricane Katrina: George W. Bush or Barack Obama?," 29 percent of a pool of Republican primary voters in Louisiana blamed Obama, who took office in 2009, and 28 percent blamed Bush, whose term lasted through 2008. Hurricane Katrina hit on Aug. 29, 2005.

That same things that are wrong with everybody else.


--------------------
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Obama was a senator at the time of Katrina.  Why is it so outlandish that someone would find congress more responsible than the President?

The people were only given two choices.  One was a senator and the other was a President at the time of Katrina.  If the person answering the question believes congress to be at fault, he/she is going to choose the only member of congress among the two choices.

P.S. "congressman" refers to a member of the House of Representatives.  While it makes logical sense to refer to a senator by this term, it isn't really accurate under the common usage of the term.

Yep and the Democrat douchebags just love to blame Bush for fast and furious. The fact that the wonderfully successful program killed hundreds of Mexican civilians, as well as an American border guard didn't even start until 2009 when Bush was out of office is completely irrelevant.

http://therightscoop.com/sheila-jackson-lee-blames-bush-admin-for-fast-and-furious-supports-holder-because-of-patent-law-or-something/

http://news.yahoo.com/holder-pushes-fast-furious-blame-toward-bush-admin-150502861.html

Even the lying, race baiting piece of shit president just loved to give his ubiquitous "I inherited this mess" or " the prior administration" excuses for his abject failures, as well as a shield for his blatant lies.

I think it’s important for us to understand that the Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration,” the president said. “When Eric Holder found out about it, he discontinued it. We assigned a inspector general to do a thorough report that was just issued, confirming that in fact Eric Holder did not know about this, that he took prompt action and the people who did initiate this were held accountable.”

In actuality, the Fast and Furious program was started in October 2009, nine months into the Obama presidency.

Tell that to the border guards relatives, then again "what does it matter?" He most certainly was just another "bump in the road"

I wonder how many of them knew how he had voted or what his position had been?  :haha:  Lets face it you are responsible for puppy mills because you are Amish.  Makes about as much sense.

Whether they knew or didn't know, it's certainly not outlandish for someone to blame congress and its members more than the president.  The OP seems to assume that the only explanation is stupidity, but that simply isn't true. 

The question was worded such that the person answering had to determine which of two people was more responsible.  Many people probably thought neither was responsible, but if pressed, chose one because perhaps he had a tiny bit of culpability.  In those instances, membership in congress could be enough to tilt the scale one way or another.  For that matter, membership in a particular race, religion, book club, or gym could tip the scale.

A more valuable question would have had a blank line for people to write in a name.  I seriously doubt 28% would have written Obama...I doubt 1% would have.  I would bet $10 that "god" (or some equivalent by another name) would get a higher percentage than either bush or Obama.

Further, if the choice were between Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, we could call everyone answering the question stupid, when the question is just stupid....

Frankly, the survey posed an absurd question and got an absurd result. No surprise there.

Neither President nor the federal government in any way was resposnible for the shit response.  It was Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin and the arch idiot Mary Kay Landrieux who screwed that pooch.  Can anyone name a local disaster that the federal government has ever responded to with competence?  Don't any of you dare say Sandy

True enough. I will say though, that Obama is a fucking idiot, and every day he gets blamed for something, to me is the justice he deserves, all the way out until the last day he leaves the white house.
