“President Obama’s brief display of drive-by compassion Thursday in New Orleans was, for me, by far the worst outing of his presidency thus far — and the biggest disappointment,” columnist Eugene Robinson wrote. He said that “it was strange and disheartening that Obama would wait nine months to make his first visit to New Orleans as president. It was stunning that he would spend only a few hours on the ground and that he wouldn’t set foot in Mississippi or Alabama at all. But worst of all was the way he seemed to dismiss the idea that his administration could and should be doing much more.”

What other conclusion can we draw except that Barak Obama hates black people?
With thousands of drooling armed rednecks, not visiting Mississippi or Alabama was probably a security consideration. And why should he? Why should he risk visiting redstate dungholes who hate him anyway?
George WMD Bush went to New Orleans with generators to light his photo-op then packed them up and left after his little meaningless appearance.
But he did fly over to Trent Lott’s house and made sure he’d get taxpayer money to rebuild his house.
President Obama even gave
ApuI meanAlfred E.I mean “Bobby” Jindalahasapeemapetilon credit for his work in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.I’m not sure what another 2- or 5- or 48-hours of the President being in New Orleans would have contributed to the Gulf Coast’s recovery. Call it “drive-by compassion” if you want. It’s another meaningless CON meme.
It is worth it to read the link to the article quoted.
Apparently then Senator Obama “used his Harvard Law skills to eviscerate Bush-era officials for not doing enough to rebuild and revive the Gulf Coast region.”
The columnist complains that the government made money available to Wall Street institutions as well as too-big-to-fail banks. But for the Gulf Coast and New Orleans, this money is not forthcoming in the same bountiful style.
It is an interesting question. What is the legitimate use of taxpayer dollars? Is it honorable to continue to print money/borrow money to give to those howling the loudest whether those in power be Republican or Democract?
“It was stunning that he would spend only a few hours on the ground and that he wouldn’t set foot in Mississippi or Alabama at all.”
Well, let’s face it. People in Mississippi and Alabama LIKE misery. They must. They consistently vote Republican against their own better interests.
That is hope and change for you.
WEBlog is always good for a chuckle in the morning. One lib calls themself a “red-state dunghole”, another complains about “meaningless con memes”; authored, of course, by a liberal columnist.
Wish I had time to stick around for the laugh fest but gotta pay the bills.
Percentage of Mississippi’s population that is black, highest of any state.
Blacks also make up more than a quarter of the population in Louisiana (32 percent), Georgia (31 percent), Maryland (30 percent), South Carolina (29 percent) and Alabama (27 percent).
——————————–
So much for the ‘redneck population theory’
“So much for the ‘redneck population theory’”
It is not a “theory”; it is another liberal justification for another stupid action.
Drooling rednecks. GEORGE BUSH GEORGE BUSH.
They hate and broken record syndrome of the left. Why am I not shocked?
Another day of ‘Its Bush’s fault’, cons are racist, Obama be the king, under Bush the big money went to wall street, etc..
When the truth was that Obama landed long enough to tell the Orleanites that it was a disgrace that Bush didn’t do more for them and he had to rush to that big fund raiser for madam Pelosi in San Francisco so gotta go. See you later.
When will Monkey especially and the other libs finally realize that their emperor has no clothes. The only thing is has done is apologize for the US all over the globe, Blame Bush for everything in the US and still he has not one accomplishment to show us.
Sheeple follow on blindly. Watch out for the edge of that cliff.
“…still he has not one accomplishment to show us.”
Sorry but you know that is not true; he has won the Nobel for his “He saids”.
Here is another qroup that does not like to be questioned.

That isn’t true Okie. He did take over GM and spent how many billions to depress the auto sales industry? I think he also had a few “right leaning” dealerships closed too. Privately owned business taken without a penny of compensation.
So it is hurtful of you to ignore obama’s accomplishments.
He did, after all, win a Nobel. But nobody seems to know why…
My mistake – I keep overlooking his accomplishments. Must be my racist con outlook.
Hud–
Obama ditched the Reagan-era “missile shield” in Europe — this is essentially trillion dollar boondoggle for military contractors with ZERO security pay off.
In fact, it heightens tensions with Russia who would then increase its nuclear arsenal to be able to defend itself from attack.
So . . . yeah, he earned it.
Also, he’s not Bush. He should get an award just for that.
“In fact, it heightens tensions with Russia who would then increase its nuclear arsenal to be able to defend itself from attack.”
In fact, they are increasing their nuclear weapons technology, as they deploy a new missile, with multiple warheads.
By the way, I for one, am not interested in nuclear weapons shield that Bush wanted to deploy. Let the Europeans pay for their own defense.
So . . . yeah, he earned it.
Oh whoops, that wasn’t even on the radar in Feb 2008 to Feb 2009 for obama, much less any action actually taken by obama. Whiffed on that one scooter.
that wasn’t even on the radar in Feb 2008 to Feb 2009
Well, since Obama wasn’t installed into office until the third week in January of 2009, you’re probably right.
Now what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
It never occurs to the CONs that when Chicago doesn’t get the Olympics that hurts the US. Or when Obama gets a major international prize, that helps the US.
Nah, hatred of all things Obama trump any love of country.
Nice.
Now what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
Read the rules for the Nobel, scooter.
Although you can’t blame the Olympic Committee too much. The last time we hosted the Olympics, a CON terrorist set off a bomb.
*****
Eric Robert Rudolph (born September 19, 1966), also known as the Olympic Park Bomber, is an American far-right radical described by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a terrorist[2] who committed a series of bombings across the southern United States which killed two people and injured at least 150 others.
Rudolph declared that his bombings were part of a guerrilla campaign against abortion and the “homosexual agenda”. He spent years on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives until he was caught in 2003. In 2005, as part of a plea bargain, Rudolph pled guilty to numerous federal and state homicide charges and accepted five consecutive life sentences in exchange for avoiding a trial and a potential death sentence.
Rudolph was connected with the white supremacist Christian Identity movement.[3] Although he has denied that his crimes were religiously or racially motivated,[4] Rudolph has also called himself a Roman Catholic in “the war to end this holocaust” (in reference to abortion).[5]
*****
Yup . . . he’s one of yours.
So what people are wanting is this: For Obama to pack up the White House, and move lock-stock-and-barrel, to New Orleans, and stay there until the last levee is rebuilt and the paint is dry on the last shotgun home in the Lower 9th.
After all, that’s what George W. Bush did, back in 2005.
The rules only state that the candiate must be nominated by 1 Feb. It doesn’t say that anything he or she does after that date can’t be considered.
So he wasn’t nominated for anything dealing with the shield.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Next?!
The will of the man who founded and funded the Nobel Peace Prize
“The whole of my remaining realizable estate shall be dealt with in the following way:
The capital shall be invested by my executors in safe securities and shall constitute a fund, the interest on which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind”"
So, what did President Obama do during the preceding year of him being nominated?
As I stated before, in reality, it makes little difference. The judges chose who they chose. President Obama, go get your prize

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/14/nobel-jury-defends-obama-peace
In a rare public defence of a process normally shrouded in secrecy, four of the Nobel peace prize jury’s five judges have spoken about a selection they said was both merited and unanimous.
To those who say a Nobel is too much too soon in Obama’s young presidency, “we simply disagree … He got the prize for what he has done”, said the committee chairman, Thorbjorn Jagland.
Jagland singled out Obama’s efforts to heal the divide between the west and the Muslim world and to scale down a Bush-era proposal for a missile shield in Europe.
“All these things have contributed to – I wouldn’t say a safer world – but a world with less tension,” Jagland said.
. . . .
Even the most seasoned Nobel watchers were surprised by Obama’s prize – they hadn’t expected the US president to be seriously considered until at least next year. He took office barely two weeks before the 1 February nomination deadline.
Jagland said that was never an issue for the Nobel committee, which followed the guidelines set forth by Alfred Nobel, the Swedish industrialist and inventor of dynamite who established the prize in his 1895 will.
“Alfred Nobel wrote that the prize should go to the person who has contributed most to the development of peace in the previous year,” Jagland said. “Who has done more for that than Barack Obama?”
WEll,of course, they defend their selection. Wow. What a revelation. Didn;t answer the question. The real answer. “We did it because we wanted to.”
He got the prize for what he has done”,
Which was…??? Remember, he was nominated 1 Feb 2009. What had he done PRIOR to 1 Feb 2009 to be nominated?
Obama’s efforts to heal the divide between the west and the Muslim world
By doing what exactly? What had he actually done up until 1 Feb 2009 in that regard?
“Who has done more for that than Barack Obama?”
Again, what has/had he done? There were 250 people on the list. What was it that put obama over the top on 1 Feb 2009?
“Most members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee initially argued against awarding the 2009 Peace Prize to President Barack Obama before agreeing to the choice, Norway’s top-selling daily Verdens Gang (VG) said on Thursday.
The paper said three of five members had objections during the early phases of the process, but were persuaded in favor of Obama mainly by the chairman of the committee, former Prime Minister Thorbjoern Jagland.”

First al-Gore with his farce filled film and now obama for not being GEORGE BUSH. Yeah, sorry Mr. Nobel, you name means nothing anymore.
LOL!
soldevvb is still having a melt-down over the Nobel Peace Prize awards!
http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2007/press.html
“The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 is to be shared, in two equal parts, between the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.”
You have to suck pretty bad to have your predecessor get awards for not being you!
WE Blog CONs are still flogging the Nobel Peace Prize.
You people just don’t understand how destructive of America’s image became under George WMD Bush.
For a person of color to win the presidency, who said we’re no longer going to be a nuclear bully in Eastern Europe, that he’s going to go the extra mile to renegotiate with Islamic nations… to “jaw, not war” (it sounds better with Winston Churchill’s accent; that’s his quote).
President Obama succeeded in changing the minds of a majority of Americans and most of the rest of the world about how the greatest nation in the world understands its place on the planet.
We’re a good nation — perhaps, still — the best nation of people. But a majority of Americans and just about all of the rest of the world had their doubts after eight years of Shrub/Cheney at the helm.
Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on November 4, 2008. That’s the day we became America again.
That’s also the day “Regular’s” brain blew out a blood vessel.
Coincidence?
I think not.
“Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on November 4, 2008. ”
Not by doing, but apparently, by being. Congats.
“littlejohn” –
What Barack Obama achieved on November 4, 2008 far exceeds anything you’ve ever done.
Wow. No kidding. You really are a bastion of knowledge, aren;t you “MonkeyHawk”
“littlejohn” –
The “…bastion of knowledge?”
Not hardly.
But in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
WE Blog CONs are blind to reality.
Compared to most WE Blog CONs I feel like I’m the Font of Infinite Wisdom.
But they’ve lowered the bar.
“Compared to most WE Blog CONs I feel like I’m the Font of Infinite Wisdom.”
I just bet you do.
What’s reality dictates is that most of these Libs were probably ‘C’ or ‘D’ students in school. About 90 percent of them I would say.
Who couldn;t acknowledge the great wisddom of the mind that comes up with
“What Barack Obama achieved on November 4, 2008 far exceeds anything you’ve ever done.”
Getting elected to the office of the President of the United States exceeds anything most of us have done. That includes any of the Presidents, whether you agree with them or not. So what.
Monkey I see you are out spewing irrelativity again. You must be filling particularly worthless today. Your posts are showing that by their lack of substance.
I counldn’t care less that Obama won a prize that has become irrelavent since gore and arafat won it. It is just following a pattern.
Granny needs a new spell checker, but… that’s totally irrelevant too… :-)
But then again, “Monkeyhawk” I don;t need to compare myself against others to know if my life is successful or not. I have enough money to get by, and occassionally enjoy something special, I have a family that loves one another, meet and regularly vacation together, and all do things within their communities to serve others, and as far as I know, none have been harmed by knowing me. Much of my freetime is spent in volunteer work in one way or another. it is enough.
“okobserver” –
Please step up and point to the irrelevance of your (and your fellow CONs’) name-calling and personal attacks that clutter WE Blog CONs’ posts oin response to us “libruhls’” posts to this forum.
Then you might have some credibility.
It’s not difficult to note how CONs go for the, ahem, irrelevant responses to my posts.
What, for example, do you consider “irrelevant?”
It should be easy for you to cite, since you say it all the time… usually just before your claim you “…have to go on an errand.”
Just look at the evidence:
“HLP” all of a sudden has to feed the goats when I engage his posts.
“Boxlock20″ suddenly has to run away from my posts.
Poor ol’ “Nathaniel” hardly has the guts to post these days since I’ve handed him his ass so many times cops could dust it for prints.
“GMC70″ posted from work until I shamed him for living off the taxpayers’ dime to parrot GOP talking points.
“JimJohnson” cuts-and-posts stuff from wingnut web sites and think he somehow personally contributes to the dialog in this forum.
Ol’ “Regular” keeps trying with name-calling and (chortles) but never seems to come around to the substance of my posts.
Bring it on, CONs!
Attack the ol’ Monkeyhawk with your best!!
And good luck with that.
Looks like you struck a nerve Okie. Got munkey’s panties in quite the bunch.

Nominations are closed February 1st and the voting takes place on October 1st. Anything that occurs in the interim can be considered when the vote takes place.
I don’t understand why this is such a big issue with you. As littlejohn has said time and time again the choice was for the committee to make and the committee chose who they did. I assume they made their choice for the reasons that they stated as I don’t really have any evidence to the contrary.
Personally, had I been on the committee, I would have made a different choice but it’s really not fair to fault President Obama for the choice made by the committee. It really wasn’t anything that was in his power to control. You keep harping about the lack of ‘accomplishments’ that would merit President Obama being the Nobel designee…as I recall, President Obama addressed that issue when he spoke the morning that the announcement was made when he said that he felt that the prize wasn’t awarded based upon any concrete accomplishments. In fact, I really can’t even figure out who you are arguing with when you keep harping on what is basically a non-issue.

I’m guessing that this blog post is on the idea that it is easy to criticize when you are not in the Oval Office. It is a far different matter, when you are in the Oval Office, and are trying to determine how to dispense the taxpayer’s largesse.
You cons just can’t stand it that our President won the Nobel Peace Prize, or for that matter that a decisive majority of Americans elected the man.
If it bothers you that much, maybe you ought to field a candidate worthy of the Peace Prize! Surely there’s a conservative out there who won’t start wars to create markets for his friends and campaign contributors, who won’t tell us bald-faced lies in order to bomb hundreds of thousands of civilians in order to recover his daddy’s family jewels lost there in ‘91, who wouldn’t napalm babies for oil, who wouldn’t allow his friends to wreck the American economy for personal gain. Keep looking- surely there’s one!
Forget the Peace Prize. Congratulations on winning it, Obama! I am bothered with the requirement to pay out taxpayer money for unconstitutional items. Both Republicans and Democrats seem only concerned with dispensing “programs” suited to buying votes and power.
Obama talks good, doesn’t he?
Doesn’t he LOOK good?
Hasn’t done a gawd damn thing for the country, but ain’t he looking good?!??!
Amway,
What he did for world peace was simple- he isn’t Bush. That does more for the country and the world than anything you could imagine! After 8 bloody years of Bush’s Random Slaughter Machine, the world’s relief is overwhelming. That alone deserves the Peace Prize!

Jed, Did you lose your mind on an acid trip you took 40 years ago? I think you left it back there.
Donnyboy,
Yeah I must have. Assuming the ‘publicans can find one decent and intelligent human being in their midst is a bit insane. My apologies.
Jedidiah is still under the influence of the demoncrats.
“After 8 bloody years of Bush’s Random Slaughter Machine, the world’s relief is overwhelming”
And the almost one year of Obam’s random slaughter machine is honkie dory with you huh?
amway,
“Honky dory?” Is it your intention to be racist or does it just come naturally?
Donnyboy,
FYI, it isn’t nor has it ever been “Jedidiah;” my birth certificate calls me Jed. What does yours call you?
Hunky-dory
Meaning
” Is it your intention to be racist ”
Jed is it your intention to be ignorant?
Satisfactory; fine.
Origin
There’s no agreed derivation of the expression ‘hunky-dory’. It is American and the earliest known example of it in print is from the US magazine The Galaxy, October 1866, and even the author of that early citation seemed unclear why the phrase was used:
“I cannot conceive on any theory of etymology that I ever studied why anything that is ‘hunkee doree’, or ‘hefty’ or ‘kindy dusty’ should be so admirable.”
That citation does at least suggest that ‘hunky-dory’ was in common enough use in 1866 for the author not to see fit to explain its meaning, although it’s a pity ‘hefty’ and ‘kindy dusty’ weren’t explained as these have now disappeared from the language.
We do know that ‘hunky-dory’ wasn’t conjured from nowhere but was preceded by earlier words, i.e. ‘hunkey’, meaning ‘fit and healthy’ and ‘hunkum-bunkum’, which had the same meaning as ‘hunky-dory’. ‘Hunkey’ was in use in the USA by 1861, when it was used in the title of the Civil War song A Hunkey Boy Is Yankee Doodle. ‘Hunkum-bunkum’ is first recorded in the US sporting newspaper The Spirit of The Times, November 1842:
“Everything was hunkum-bunkum for immediate flight.”
It’s clear that the ‘hunky’ part of ‘hunky-dory’ is from the above usages. What isn’t clear is how ‘dory’ came to be added.
By 1877, John Russell Bartlett suggested a Japanese influence. The 4th edition of Dictionary of Americanisms includes a definition of an earlier spelling of ‘hunky-dory’:
Hunkidori. Superlatively good. Said to be a word introduced by Japanese Tommy and to be (or to be derived from) the name of a street, or bazaar, in Yeddo [a.k.a. Tokyo].
Japanese Tommy was the stage name of the variety performer Thomas Dilward, popular in the USA in the 1860s – and conspicuously not Japanese. Dilward was a black dwarf before cosmologists ever thought of the term.
There is no direct evidence to support Bartlett’s supposition. It is highly unlikely that Thomas Dilward ever visited Japan, but he may have popularized the expression which he could have picked up from those who had. Commodore Matthew Perry had opened up trade with the country in the 1850s and there were frequent voyages between the US and Japan by to the 1860s.
The Japanese term ‘honcho-dori’ means something like ‘main street’ and many cities there have one. US sailors would have known the word ‘hunky’ and could have added the Japanese word for road (’dori’) as an allusion to the ‘easy street’ they found themselves in in Japan. There certainly were ‘honcho-dori’ streets of easy virtue in Tokyo and Yokohama that catered for the age-old requirements of sailors in port after a long voyage.
What’s Obama supposed to do or say? I think all that he said, was all there was logically to say.
It’s been four years. The government can only do so much. In fact if the government starts throwing money at the problem, people end up using that money for themselves and government money goes unaccounted for why problems remain unsolved.
If anything, all of the problems caused by Hurricane Katrina, are problems that the locals have more ability to fix, than the government.
Maybe someone should tell those people still suffering the effects of Hurricane Katrina. That they don’t have to remain victimless hurricane victims for the rest of their lives.
They don’t have to wait for the government, fema, or whoever else to come and save them selves from their own victim mentality.
I haven’t been down to New Orleans myself, to presonally see the wreckage, trash and debris that still remains from Hurricane Katrina.
But I think I do know this. If a Hurricane Katrina struck Wichita, and it suffered as much damadge as New Orleans. Wichita after four years would be in a lot better shape than New Orleans is now.
Is it apathy, laziness, victim mentality, depression? Idk what that cities problem is, but maybe they need to do for themselves and quit being caught up on remaining victims the rest of their lives.
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
hunky dory (spelled with an “O” but moderators stop it)
Everything is a-ok. Its all good.
What’s the point? what happened there happened, and it’s up to THEM to put it all back together now. For crying out loud, because we didn’t lead them out by the hand, we are a terrible nation, because we don’t swing the hammers ourselves, we are cold and mean… GIVE ME A BREAK!
New Orleans is a classic example of what the welfare state of America is becomming, worthless!!!! Iowa got it worse, more square miles flooded, more destruction, AND NO ONE LOOTED, EVERYONE PULLED TOGETHER, and they are pretty much past it. hmmmmmmm, a bozo button for anyone who can tell me why one area devestated so much worse can bounce back so much quicker than another area, who had more government money thrown their way than one could imagine? Well, I’ll spoil the answer. Iowa isn’t a bunch of government cheese eating government addicted hopeless losers!
honky dory

Peace out Dan.
The strip right outside the main gate to the US Naval Base was called (and still is) Honcho Dori (means book district street in Japanese).
Times were wild and there was no better sailor port in the world at the time. This was b-aster-dized to Hunky Dory by the sailors and it came to mean if you came from Hunky Dory then everything had to be good or ‘hunky dory’.
Check the spelling here folks.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=honky%20dory
All this racist talk is leftover koolaid. You guys cannot function without it.
Regarding the reason that New Orleans isn’t completely put back together yet are valid: one of the reasons Obama went there was to announce that money that had been promised by FEMA shortly after the hurricane but had never been released was now in the process of release. So government bureacracy was part of the cause of the problems not being taken care of. Another government problem was that the Corps of Engineers had not done a good enough job to protect the low-lying areas long before Katrina hit. A third thing was that some of the greatest damage occurred in the poorest areas where folks had very low incomes.
LOL….what else did you expect from this clown
