It appears more than a million people remain without power in Kentucky. There are numerous deaths, and authorities believe the total will climb as rural homes are finally searched. The Governor has called out the national guard. Shelters are full and one county executive said no more space is available and told citizens that are able to move south.
Through it all FEMA has been nearly non existent. They have managed to send fifty (yes 50) generators to the beleaguered state. FEMA has sent no crews, set no shelters, provided no water or food.
The Presidency of George Bush was roundly criticised when FEMA took three days to respond to Katrina, yet the press is strangely silent when the Federal Government remains a no-show after five days in Kentucky. The press hounded Bush for days and weeks and months after Katrina. Indeed, he was still criticized on his response as he left office.
There was always a strong undercurrent of belief (and some actually stated it) that a white President let Black people die in New Orleans. Is our first black President allowing white people to die in the Bluegrass State? Of course, I do not believe either claim. I use these wild unfounded statements as an example of the utter hypocrisy of the press, the left, and supporters of The One. I bet most of you penned thousands of words disparaging Bush on Katrina, where are you now? Where is the condemnation in the press, the blogs, your conversation? Yet you same leftists tell me there is no media bias, Bush deserved all of the criticism.
Blow me.
