Barack Obama Starts Day One as the Healer and Uniter He Promised
Obama, during his campaign, wanted all who would believe him, to be convinced that he was the Great Uniter, the Last Bastion of Hope, and the world’s only Legitimate Change Agent. Hope and Change was his mantra. Hope for what and change from what was never explained. Obama’s dubious achievements as a lawmaker were divisive at best.
Shortly after Obama’s swearing in at the $170 million gala/party/ball/shindig/obscene display of opulent proportions/slap in the face to all suffering from the recession–Obama took control of www.whitehouse.gov. He immediately made manifest the type of character he has historically displayed, and prophetically displayed the type of character by which the country can expect to be governed hence forth. In Obama’s first foray in the uniting business, he gave one of the most classless and highly offensive inauguration speeches imaginable, then posted this uniting sentiment on the White House website regarding Bush’s response to Hurricane Katrina:
Katrina
President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.
President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. Citing the Bush Administration’s “unconscionable ineptitude” in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of low-income hurricane victims. Obama visited thousands of Hurricane survivors in the Houston Convention Center and later took three more trips to the region. He worked with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to introduce legislation to address the immediate income, employment, business, and housing needs of Gulf Coast communities.
President Barack Obama will partner with the people of the Gulf Coast to rebuild now, stronger than ever.
This absurd, classless exposition coming from a man who claimed, while on the Obama World Tour in Europe, he would “work to unite Christians, Muslims and Jews in a safer, more united world.” Obama, who could not even unite his divisive church with the civilized world, will accomplish what no world leader, nor Jesus, has been able to do in recorded history.
Barack Obama seems to be a little fuzzy, in a liberal sort of way, about the actual events of recent history in regard to Katrina. He has overlooked a few small, incidental details, such as:
- The governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco, was responsible for her state’s welfare, and had the absolute power to prevent the Katrina devastation pertaining to humanity, and facilitate the immediate response for restoration in tandem with the federal government — but did neither.
- The Mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, or perhaps the Mayor of Chocolate City, as he affectionately refers to New Orleans, was responsible for his city’s welfare, and also had absolute power to prevent the Katrina devastation pertaining to humanity, and facilitate the immediate response for restoration in tandem with the federal government–he also did neither.
- Both Blanco and Nagin presided over monumental textbook failures at every conceivable level. Beginning days prior to and continuing through the aftermath, they were paralyzed by their inadequacies.
- Furthermore, it is not Bush’s, FEMA’s, nor the federal government’s constitutional responsibility to implement state’s preventative measures, or the rescue from the aftermath of a state’s ineptness in the handling of an evacuation from a natural disaster–though, because they have the capability, should do so for myriad reasons– they cannot be blamed for the inadequacies of the duly elected liberal government of Louisiana.
Another note about blaming the Katrina debacle on Bush: The wholesale failure of the preventable devastation from Katrina on the citizens of New Orleans, and its abysmal aftermath, can be blamed exclusively on the liberal pattern of either handing out something, or holding out one’s hand for something. No one in this situation had the wherewithal to take appropriate action for evacuation, self evacuation, or rescue because that is not the modus operandi of liberals. Liberal citizens are conditioned to depend on the government. President Barack Obama is not, and did not, run as a leader, but as a benefactor to all who voted for him.
Well, Mr. President/Uniter/Messiah, you demonstrated today the type of character and class that one could only expect to find in a contemporary liberal. Oh, and by the bye, those throngs of agents of change in attendance, the ones who booed President Bush, held signs calling for his arrest, and chanting the same–really touching. The whole uncivilized lot of you makes for a great alliance. And remember, now, going forward, everything is your fault.

I was appalled by the booing. I thought it would have been classy for Obama to ad lib for a moment at the beginning of his lecture—I mean speech–that he would have no part in showing disrespect to President Bush, and that the challenges our nation faces today cannot be attributed to a single adminstration. Words along those lines would be a way to start the healing and unification process, in my opiinion. But that did not happen.
Jim,
It will work; he will unite. All you have to do is drink his kool-aid, give him your money, and don’t ask questions. Him and the crazy lady married to the slick rick from Arkansas have it all figured out.
