Reply #11: the meme about it being obama's katrina is all over the msm.

i don't see how that could be the two situations are nothing alike. katrina was a hurricane and the levies which had not been fixed by the army corps of engineers as was well established due to lack of funding if i am not mistaken while this catastrophe was completely preventable by a PRIVATE company and then they lied about how bad it was and apparently had NO plans in place to deal with a blowout at this depth. Now the same people that keep bitching about the big bad government getting in the way of business doing it's business are complaining that the government SHOULD be involved. obama didn't stay on vacation for days after this happened. he knows what's going on, though he shouldn't have trusted BP to tell him but i digress.... bush was on vacation.... he STAYED on vacation and then did a fly over. he didn't know what was going on and didn't seem to care. it is completely different.
