Will the Republicans blame Obama for the earthquake?

The reply was ment for BumbleBeeBoogie who started this and not for you, but I think your apoligise is a very nice thing.

Why not try to get just a little bit real... To notice that the reactionaries are forever putting labels on everyone, objectifying everyone, and drawing lines in the sand, making accusations the liberals are then forced to deny which is a terrible disadvantage is what is creating the divide... You want to accuse BBB of deepening it??? It already goes all the way to the bone... Aristotle said that the line between vice and virtue is one that divides all of mankind... It divides us here as well... The republicans simply do not give a **** who suffers injustice or if they divide us so much that we are weakened and defeated... Half of them are idiots because they want to let God run the country which is the opposite of what government should do, which is to use the mind, the common mind, the best mind, and act upon reason... The other part of the republicans are acting out of a narrow and perverted view of self interest which puts them at odds with all of humanity and what America should stand for... So Don't blame BBB for seeing the obvious that is obvious to all but the ones spewing the garbage about Obama... It is just par for the course, what Repubicans do because in destroying the civility of government they injure the power of government to do what government should do, which is: Good...

I think BBB is simply making a comment on the nature of current discourse.

You would be wrong in your thinking.

C'est dommage.

Blaming presidents for natural disasters is #1 on the Democrat playlist. Wrong party.

Wars and depressions are not natural disasters, but they are disasters the way republicans manage them...

NO and LA were managed by Democrats during Katrina.

Yeah, like Bush, for instance, a real Democrat.

Did the Democrats blame Katrina on Bush?

But seriously. We now have a President who plays golf and parties with reporters when Japan is on the brink of a nuclear meltdown. And not one criticism from the media.

Bush can't micromanage everything that happens. The Louisiana government was responsible for the details. They blew it.

F.E.M.A.

I voted against obama,
and I will again, but in fairness:
that is not an American problem.

When we had trouble with 3 Mile Island,
we did not expect the Japs to show up over here.

A president trusts the people in charge of FEMA or whatever agency to do their job. As I remember, Bush patted the head of "Brownie," who may or may not have been doing a good job despite the crap going on in LA and NO government. None of us know the details on how the mistakes of the NO mayor and the LA governor affected FEMA's ability to bring aid in a timely manner.

It's so very easy to criticize - especially when it serves our purpose. Even if FEMA did add to the nightmare of errors, we know Nagin and Blanco fumbled their responsibility horribly. Maybe "Brownie" did, too. Blaming Bush, however, is just politically expedient for the peanut gallery.

Seriously, how did two natural disasters, a possible nuclear meltdown and possibly over 10,000 dead in Japan become about the American two party system and the inane bickering of the self centred. This is a stupid thread.

presentation is often the meat and potatoes of politics, Bush screwed the pooch re NO. history will note Bush/Brownie, not Nagin, Blanco. WMD same boat regardless of Rumsfeld re-writing history. At this point in time historical facts won't obscure image or presentation.

Then why are you here?

To give a bit of perspective, too subtle for you eh!

Not really.

Good. It could stand a bit of perspective.
