Imagine If Bush…
…Was on national TV and talked about that devastating earthquake in Hawaii
BAIER: So the Connecticut deal is still in?
OBAMA: So that’s not — that’s not going to be something that is going to be in this final package. I think the same is true on all of these provisions. I’ll give you some exceptions though.
Something that was called a special deal was for Louisiana. It was said that there were billions — millions of dollars going to Louisiana, this was a special deal. Well, in fact, that provision, which I think should remain in, said that if a state has been affected by a natural catastrophe, that has created a special health care emergency in that state, they should get help. Louisiana, obviously, went through Katrina, and they’re still trying to deal with the enormous challenges that were faced because of that.
(CROSS TALK)
OBAMA: That also — I’m giving you an example of one that I consider important. It also affects Hawaii, which went through an earthquake. So that’s not just a Louisiana provision. That is a provision that affects every state that is going through a natural catastrophe.
I’m sure this comes as rather unsettling news to the people of Hawaii (hell, it’s shocking news to all of us in all 57 states). I mean, just because they’re such insensitive morons that they didn’t feel the catastrophic earthquake that noted Constitutional Scholar Barack Obama said they had, well, that won’t stop them from applying for the billions in federal aid he just promised.
For the devastation and all.
As Cassy Fiano at Hot Air says
This moment, from Bret Baier’s interview on Fox News with Obama, might just be one of the biggest “WTF?!” moments from Obama’s presidency yet. Obama is either completely making things up, living in an alternate reality, or really, really confused.
Actually, my guess is that’s it’s probably a combination of all three.
But he’ll get a pass on it from the MSM and continue to vote “present.”
Isn’t Hawaii the fifty-seventh state?
Is that the same Hawaii with 47 congressmen and 92,382 ZIP Codes that got all that stimulus money last year? O must have known the quake was coming and sent the money in advance. I just wonder why he didn’t warn people when he vacationed there in December.
I the One got mixed up with Haiti – which is our 53rd state. It’s hard to keep track of all of those states that start with the letter “H”.
I see the Palin idiot Brigade is on the loose again. Umm, tools? There was a major earthquake in Hawaii on October 15, 2006. That idiot President Bush you clowns all supported even declared an emergency disaster response.
I know you people feed on stupid, but you just can’t keep making it this easy for the sane people out here to point, laugh and mock you. Please try and provide some competition.
Yes, there was a 6.7 in 2006…which caused $73 million dollars worth of damage.
In other words, nothing.
