Well, he's definitley more engaged with showing up on the television circuit, like Leno and 60 minutes. I hear Letterman is pissed that he hasn't been included. I'm sure we'll see BO there soon.
It is still way too early to turn in a report card on Obama. Few presidents in our countries history have been handed the flaming crap bag that Bush passed on. He was elected with a clear margin to advance an agenda to make good on.
In regards to a comparison with Katrina I think the defunding of the corps of engineers on the levys and Brownies inept handling of FEMA enter into the discussion.
Obama has chosen people with experience as oposed to putting peoples lives at the mercy of a horse show judge that contibuted to his campaign.
But don't let that slow you down. The contrast you expose with your belated boot licking is welcome.
With as much as Obama has spent in
his first 70 days, you are very wrong in assuming he doesn't get a report card. He was handed a recession, but he has created something far worse in his coarse of action. He was elected with a clear cut in electoral votes,
but not popular votes...there is a big difference you know?
I think where there was a clear cut let down was from the mayor and the governor of the state. Don't forget that there was funding for the levys years before Katrina. But the funds were diverted to other programs...but let's not let the facts get in the way of your story.
Remember, Bush did the same thing as Obama did in not coming down for the horse show, but the media flamed him on it...funny that it's different now huh?
Once again I say don't let the facts get in the way of your story, Huggie
