Lefties Two Faced Over Katrina Help

For most of the last few years, President Bush has said there was enough money allocated to help areas ravaged by Katrina, but the money was being held up by government red tape. So, when anyone tried to push through emergency money onto a bill such as the defense budget, he would say there’s no need to put this in, there’s plenty of money, we just need to clear up the red tape.

This would be met with howls of indignation by the lefties, including Mary Landrieu and the Congressional Black Caucus. They would blast Bush for not caring about Louisiana and abandoning the people there.

Now along comes the ‘stimulus’ bill, or the Confiscation Of Your Hard Earned Money To Be Given Away As A Reward To Liberal Cronies Act of 2009. Want to guess how much money is in this boondoggle for fixing Katrina damage?

Zip. Zero. Nada. Not one penny.

Are the lefties howling about President Obama’s insensitivity towards Mississippi and Louisiana? On the contrary, they are not bothered in the least about this. In fact, they say they are okay with it. They say there’s plenty of money, it’s just being bogged down by red tape.

Sound familiar?
