As a Senator, President Obama Voted against Aid for Hurricane Katrina Victims. Is He Personally Using A Tour Of Hurricane Sandy Mostly as a Campaign Photo Op?

IMHO Obama is an opportunist above all and not letting this crisis go to waste.

Excerpts: ”Somehow the people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much,” Obama said to the crowd, criticizing the government for not waiving the Stafford Act for New Orleans as it had for the disasters in New York and Florida.

Obama as we see now was again less than truthful, the federal government had in fact waived the Stafford Act’s requirement that New Orleans contribute 10 percent toward the cost of reconstruction and cleanup efforts just 10 days before Obama delivered his speech. Not only that — Obama was among 14 senators who voted against the bill.

    Actually, the headline is totally misleading, even false...

    When in the Senate, there were TWO bills up for a vote including Katrina aid. Obama voted for one of them, but opposed the other.

    So in fact, he voted FOR aid after Katrina...

    He's just despicable. An amateur just like the book said. Unqualified, unprepared. His family has spent $ 1.4 Billion on his families expenses, an unprecedented amount. That includes $100,000 for their dog handler. Unbelievable arrogance and narcissism. Also includes the $800,000 spent and the first daughters Spring break in Mexico and the $20 million spent on Michelle Obama's vacations; and her 22 assistants. No other first lady has had more than 2. No other first family has spent anything like this on themselves.

    No doubt about it. There were other disasters as well that he ignored. Seems he is really good at ignoring. Well, it doesn't matter what he does or says, he has his diehard zombies and nothing is going to stop it. Once you vote black, you never go back is what some blacks are saying. I kicked some black guy off my facebook for saying that.
    In the battle for the White House, the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College projections now show the president with 237 Electoral Votes and Romney 206. The magic number needed to win the White House is 270. Eight states with 95 Electoral College votes remain Toss-ups: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin.
    New surveying finds the race in the critical state of Ohio all tied up. Look for final surveys from Rasmussen Reports in the Toss-Up states between now and Election Day.
    The president is still ahead by five points in Michigan, but that’s the closet the race there has been all year.

    Yes i would say so even though he did what any President should have done i remember other Disasters over the past 3.5 years like the oil spill in the gulf took a week for him to stop playing golf and if he voted against aid for Katrina doesn't that make him a Racist because during the same disaster he also said the slow response time of FEMA was because LA is primarily black and if it had been a white state it wouldn't have taken 5 days to get water to the super-dome.

    Obama does not do anything without a Political goal in mind and if he can't find a political advantage he likes he just remains "Present" kind of like most his time as President when not playing golf basketball on vacation or using Air Force one to take him and the Mrs out for DATE NIGHT.

    Just like when Osama Bin Laden was killed,yes he gave the order he was the only person capable of giving it but as you can see he had nothing to actually do with it and could not even as President get a seat at the Big Boys table he just sat in the corner and was "Present".

    killing Osama

    Maybe Biden and Clinton have secretly been running the country they at least got to sit at the table,Joe Biden in charge now that's damn scarey.

    Take a LOOK at HR 2206, the one Obama voted against.

    It's a bill in 2007 about a number of issues only one of which was about Hurricane Katrina since that Hurricane was in 2005.

    Read it for yourself...

    Good catch.

    Cannot believe that the government is creating these compound bills like this especially when the issues are so diverse. This bill included funding Iraq/Afghanistan wars, eliminating State Children's Health Insurance, and Disaster Relief for Katrina.

    Unless a senator agrees with all aspects of the bill, he or she will either have to not vote at all or vote against their conscience. Wonder which one Obama voted against?

    OVomit's fake concern for the disaster victims is truly sickening.....it's so blatantly transparent that he's ONLY doing this for political/election purposes.
    We all know this pathetic piece of trash would rather be golfing somewhere and not dealing with the common people and their problems.

    I just spent the past hour and a half on Thomas' Library of Congress site. During the two sessions of Congress between Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Pres. Obama's inauguration in 2009, there were nearly 350 Bills introduced in Congress with "Hurricane Katrina Relief" in the title. The fact that someone could find only one of them that Senator Obama voted against, and it had appropriations in it for other totally unrelated items, sounds like desperation on their part.

    Of course. He didn't stop campaigning when the embassy was attacked, he didn't stop playing golf and vacationing when the BP oil spill....now,all the sudden, he is concerned? I don't thing so.
    Romney did something constructive, he brought food. What did lame stream media do? They made fun of him and laughed and claimed what they needed was money. . Guess what? When you are hungry, you want food. If there isn't anyplace to buy food, then what good is money?

    He might be making a huge mistake. He made a pretty speech and received some praise from an unlikely source, Governor Christie. Then he flitted off to Las Vegas. Meanwhile the east coast is beginning to descend into chaos. No gas, people stealing gas and fighting in gas lines. Dumpster diving in Manhatten. Fema caught woefully short of generators. There's going to be some awfully upset come Tuesday. They can't take it out on Romney, he's not in power.

May it be the ones who died in Libya to the ones who lost everything with Sandy. I have noticed you can NEVER see true concern on his face.

    THUG?.... I don't like the Obama agenda, and already voted for Romney, but I can't stand people like you. The THUG, it's believed to be a substitute word. We may never know for sure, but it sure seems to be used about a certain type person.

    I dare say Obama loves America as much as you, yo mama, yo daddy, me, and any other American. It is self religiousness that would allow a person to try and measure another person's love, or any type feeling. I say you DON'T LOVE AMERICA, because you are just nasty, nasty, nasty!

    Obummer is a thug. He is a chicago thug. He is the Behnghazi butcher. He is a blatent, pathalogical liar. He does not love America. Anyone who thinks that is an idiot. All these things are true. He only cares about his muslim buddies. He denigrates Christians, whilst bowing and scrapping to terrorist groups, giving them hard earned American money.

    As to calling Ladybythersea dumb because of the expression on her face, with no true concern just shows you up for being a hypocrite. Two faced too.

    1. she does not love America.
    2. She is nasty, nasty, nasty.
    3 Her expression on her face looks dumb with no true concern. (At least she shows her face unlike you hiding behind a faceless avatar.)
    4. People like her.

    You are trying to sit on the high moral fence whilst bashing lady for her views, yet, you insult her and say nasty things. You purport to be better than her, but the evidence speaks for itself. You are a two-faced hypocrite.

    If she can make comment about someone's facial expression, I can make comments about her facial expressions.

    "People like her," like to dish it out, I just dished it back.

    YES she did, she does not know how he feels, and neither do you. You just say what you (think) he feels. He is not a thug, "thugs," are violent rude, disrespectful. Except some use, " Thug," as the new. "N word!"... I'm not say that's what she is doing, but it happens. So don't give me that, "tit for tat," crap.

    This is about you, not her. Blaming everyone else but yourself.
    If you think the sun shines out of his ass, I suggest you go and and stare at his butt instead of attacking others for their views.
    Obummer is a thug, a chigago thug to be exact. Benghazi butcher. He watched these men die in real time via the drone, knew they had requested help three times and three times he gave the order to the generals to stand down. That is deliberate and willful murder. He is a scumbag through and through and not just for that either.

    You were doing tit for tat and that just shows you up for the kind of person you are. She dislikes obummer for the same reasons most of us dislike obummer. She has a right, as I do, to be angry with him and this administration. Bunch of liars. Putting the blame on innocent film makers to cover up the fact obummer's policies caused the problem and his constant appeasement of islam. It has weakened America and emboldened islam to carry out more terrorist attacks.

    Now, get over that fact. We do not have to like him. Deal with it, or move on.
