I'll do it snarg. Won't be back in this thread. I can't believe you've never contradicted yourself to prove a point.

Remember when people speculated Bush had the levees blown up to flood the 9th ward?

Either way it doesn't compare to turning a blind eye to a whole american city during a catastrophe.

Does this classify as a catastrophe?

8 I'm interested in your response to this.Your white rage is fascinating.



Why BP is the Anti-Katrina

This conflates two very different things. Katrina was an example of the type of disaster that the federal government is specifically tasked with handling. And for most of the 90s, it was very good at handling them. But when George Bush became president and Joe Allbaugh became director of FEMA, everything changed. Allbaugh neither knew nor cared about disaster preparedness. For ideological reasons, FEMA was downsized and much of its work outsourced. When Allbaugh left after less than two years on the job, he was replaced by the hapless Michael Brown and the agency was downgraded and broken up yet again. By the time Katrina hit, the upper levels of FEMA were populated largely with political appointees with no disaster preparedness experience and the agency was simply not up to the job of dealing with a huge storm anymore.

The Deepwater Horizon explosion is almost the exact opposite. There is no federal expertise in capping oil blowouts. There is no federal agency tasked specifically with repairing broken well pipes. There is no expectation that the federal government should be able to respond instantly to a disaster like this. There never has been. For better or worse, it's simply not something that's ever been considered the responsibility of the federal government.1

In the case of Katrina, you have the kind of disaster that, contra Levin, can be addressed by the federal government. In the case of the BP spill, we're faced with a technological challenge that can't be. They could hardly be more different.

Holy shit that had to be embarassing if you caught Obama on the news yesterday trying to defend "all he has been doing". Jesus. Seriously, you have to know what a hypocrite he must feel like. It looks like he has his whole spin team devoted to trying to turn his public image around on this disaster now. Its a shame the problem is still getting bigger by the day, but at least he's working on how the public perceives him, so that should help.

Maybe he read my post yesterday.

Umm no?I'm sure the rest of your post was accurate though.
