"Heckuvajob" Brownie: Obama played race card over Katrina.

[RandySF]

The former Bush administration official who headed Hurricane Katrina disaster relief said Wednesday that President Barack Obama played “the race card” with his 2007 speech about the Bush administration’s response.

Michael Brown, the former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, harshly criticized then-Sen. Obama’s remarks to a black audience at Hampton University, where Obama railed against a double standard for federal relief efforts in New Orleans.

“I call total BS on the President’s comments about Katrina,” Brown told POLITICO in an email. “He needs to get his facts straight and stop playing the race card with Katrina.”

Brown added, “The men and women of FEMA work tirelessly for disaster victims regardless of race, political affiliation or any other category he wants to lump people into.”

1. Fuck that guy. What, does he have a book coming out?

2. No, asshole, YOU played the race card. He just called you on it. n/t

3. Yeah, Pres Obama was actually pointing out

the facts. Hurts.. doesn't it, brownie?

4. "The race card" has jumped the shark

And it's time somebody threw it under the bus.

6. Quite True

At the end of the day, it is what it is, and since we don't know what we don't know about the race card and the paradigm has shifted, we need to do something about the race card. Read my lips: no new race cards!

5. I live in New Orleans; I survived Katrina

My parents' house didn't. My father went from mid-stage Alzheimer's to severe as a result of Bush/Cheney's mishandling of Katrina.

I despise everyone associated with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Chernoff (TSA cancer peep show) and Brownie.

Incompetent, indifferent, evil.

Gov. Blanco was the only government official who tried to do her job, instead of crying or twisting the disaster for personal political gain.

Scum

7. Ooooh "total BS"

not just BS
but TOTAL BS

Aren't there Arabian horses somewhere that TOTALLY need to be judged?
