Some 20,000 large water containers arrived today and 80,000 more are on the USS Carl Vinson off the coast of Haiti, along with 600,000 daily food rations which are continually flowing in.Clearly it is because Barack Obama is a racist and this is some sort of evil political retribution foisted upon the poor Haitians.
But all this effort and all these supplies moving does not mean Haitians are getting the large supplies of food and water that they need. Instead, most of the supplies are sitting idle at the airport.
In all seriousness, this is a very tragic situation and those attempting to provide aid are doing heroic work. And Obama is not at fault for the supplies piling up; nor should be be blamed for anything (not that the media would blame him anyway) because the biggest obstacle is the destruction of infrastructure.
But this should serve as an example of how fundamentally unfair it was to blame Bush for the misery wrought by Katrina. And a reminder of how disgusting was the behavior of those who politicized that disaster.
Heads up: "A reminder of disgusting" isn't a sentence fragment in the English language. Ukrainian, maybe.....
ReplyDeleteAgreed, the media would never link any failure of supply deployment to this administration. The fact that they implicitly tied the failure in getting relief to New Orleans to purposeful intent on behalf of the Bush administration was reprehensible.
