Obama/Biden responsible for hurricane deaths
I was shocked when I read the Washington Times this morning and discovered that President Obama and Vice President Biden were responsible for at least two deaths along the Eastern Seaboard this weekend.
A 7-year-old girl who was pulled from the sea near Acadia National Park later died, and a 54-year-old swimmer died after washing ashore unconscious Saturday in Florida, authorities said. The girl, her father and a 12-year-old girl were all plucked from the water by rescuers.
It could have been much worse;
The three were part of an early afternoon crowd of thousands who lined the national park’s rocky shoreline to watch the high surf and crashing waves, which were “absolutely the effects of Hurricane Bill” coupled with the effect of high tide, Park Ranger Sonya Berger said.
At Acadia National Park, the waves swept over 20 people, Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Adam Sansoucie said. Mr. West said 11 people were taken to the hospital, mainly for broken bones after being slammed onto the rocks.
Now, I’ll admit that the Times doesn’t say that Obama and Biden are at fault, but, they must be if we use the same standard that was used during the Bush Administration’s handling of Katrina;
Despite repeated warnings, people gathered in Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, and along the boardwalk in downtown Halifax as swells grew steadily in strength and size.
Warnings? That’s it? Didn’t we learn our lesson at Katrina that warnings aren’t adequate enough to convince stupid people to act in a responsible manner? And what did Obama do? Why he acted like nothing happened;
In Massachusetts, President Obama and his family arrived in Martha’s Vineyard on Sunday afternoon for vacation after the storm had passed well to the east.
How callous can one man be? People being slammed into rocks and drowning while they’re swimming in the churning seas – and the Obama family continues on with their vacation. After the storm passes. Doesn’t Obama care about middle class people?
I’m not serious, of course, but you get my point.

Talk about mixed messages, Jonn–Hampton Beach (NH) was evacuated TWICE yesterday, yet the local papers show pictures of some idiot standing on the rocks (!) as some 15-20 foot waves come crashing against the breakwater. Darwinism in action.
John you are looking at this story all wrong. The article should have stated how many lives were saved by Pres Obama during this hurricane. After all, the oceans started to go down and the planet started to heal just over 7 months ago. I estimate that at least 6 people were spared because of the One’s ascendancy. Clearly, Hurricane Bill would have been far more deadly had a Obama lost the election.
Next week VP Biden will probably be talking about the number of lives saved/created by the Obama administration.
No No, it was an evil Republican plot. The VRWC used their hurricane generator.
Up here in Maine, people were warned about the dangers and told to stay clear of the shoreline.
I hope that the father of this poor 7-year old girl spends the rest of his life in prison for manslaughter. It’s bad enough that he risked his own life in such a foolish pursuit, but his actions resulted in the death of his child, and that is unforgivable.
He was responsible for her safety and well being. He ought to be horsewhipped and then hung, but I’d be happy to see him rot in jail.
Tim, how about horse-whipping, hanging and then life in prison? That would work for me. Or chain him to the rocks where he gambled his daughter’s life, and she paid the debt? At least the 0 did make the oceans recede or many more would have been lost.
Yeah, the media are all talking about his “loss” up here, but I see his actions as no different than if he was driving drunk with her in the car, and she died.
Parents have to think about all the “what if’s” regarding their children, and he got careless or complacent or just plain stupid.

2 people?
Bush let a major American city drown.
Just a bit of a difference.
FAIL.
Tom, WTF? Tell me please, how Bush let a major American city drown? ‘splain that one to me. It was Bush’s weather bureau, and homeland security that predicted a Cat 5 storm, several days before it got there. Want to place the blame, start with the first on the block, Ray “Chocolate City” Nagin Democrat Mayor. Next go for the Democrat Governor, who, like Nagin wouldn’t make that necessary first step and call for Fed help, (ya’see, we got this thing against the feds stickin their nose into local affairs,don’t we?), until it was well underway. Get over it bud, Bush is home in the Big State, and you guys won, getting Obummer in office, and America lost.
Hell, its Bush’s fault that we have Obummer for prez. If he hadn’t made the left hate him so much, they could have made a more rational choice.

Tom,
You might want to see if you can get an appointment with your proctologist so’s he can try and locate your head.
That comment of yours has got to be the most ignorant bit of adolescent tripe I’ve seen posted anywhere outside of Kos or the HuffPo. It shows an absolutely breathtaking ignorance of the most simple facts, knowledge that a 5th grader would understand, but yet you seem to have failed to comprehend.
Either you are as dumb as a sack of hair, or have chosen to remain willfully ignorant of the truth. Your teachers must be sooooo proud of you. Sigh.
The people to blame are in order: the citizens of New Orleans and Orleans parish, Kathleen Blanco, Ray Nagin. Actually the last two are equal in the blame. The people of the area had REPEATEDLY voted against proposals to upgrade the levees because it was not free and they wanted someone else to take care of it for them. Those levees were desogned and constructed in the 50’s and the Corp of Engineers had repeatedly informed people that they needed to be repaired and upgraded to handle anything above a Cat 3 storm. Nagin and Blanco are criminally negligent in my opinion. They disregarded the procedures in place and did not utilize the assets at their disposal until it was too late to be of any help. I grew up in Louisiana and the levees have been an issue since I was a child. So as a Louisianian I feel the only people to blame all were from Louisiana.
Of course the MSM will NEVER blame a SocDem president for any damages and lives lost from a (ahem!) natural disaster. Unlike the caterwauling and conspiracy idiocy that went on under the previous RINO presidency.
“Warnings? That’s it? Didn’t we learn our lesson at Katrina that warnings aren’t adequate enough to convince stupid people to act in a responsible manner?”
Who said I want stupid people to act responsibly? I want to see Darwinian action taking place, to clean out the gene pool. Preferably BEFORE these people precreate and pass along their stupid gene to the next generation.
As for the child, I’m sorry for her. A young life cut too short, too soon. The blame lies with the father. Even I know better, and I live in land-locked Utah.
