Students Sang Bush's Praise For Katrina Response !!!

[Mons Venus]

 
Republicans have been in an uproar recently over video footage of children at a New Jersey elementary school singing the praises of President Barack Obama. The outrage has been fueled mainly by a constant drumbeat from conservative media. But on Friday it boiled over into the realm of political opportunism when the Republican National Committee sent out a fundraising appeal calling the episode an "indoctrination of our nations... children" and "fanaticism."

"Friend," RNC Chairman Michael Steele wrote, "this is the type of propaganda you would see in Stalin's Russia or Kim Jong Il's North Korea. I never thought the day would come when I'd see it here in America."

Alas, such "propaganda" has not been limited to despots, dictators and the Obama White House. As a savvy source points out, back in 2006 children from Gulf Coast states serenaded First Lady Laura Bush with a song praising the President, Congress, and Federal Emergency Management Agency for their response to -- of all things -- Hurricane Katrina. The lyrics were as follow:

Our country's stood beside us People have sent us aid. Katrina could not stop us, our hopes will never fade. Congress, Bush and FEMA People across our land Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!    The event took place at that year's White House Easter Egg Roll and included roughly 100 children from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

The weather that day was described as a "chilly rain" which must have seemed appropriate given the fact that the Gulf Coast children were actually thanking the administration for its feeble response to the hurricane.

IF it happened it was wrong and the teachers should have been dealt with.  But, the OP has some serious credibility issues and this just appears to be an article pulled from the Huffington Post and the author of the article only refers to a "savvy source".

You're a real hero garebear.  Mons is a wannabe, making a play for the stolen valor angle, and making posts about how much he wishes you'd get hit with an IED.  He's a disgusting excuse for a human being.  A coward who hides behind the freedoms that brave souls such as you provide.

Our thoughts are with you and we hope you come home safe.

As usual, 240 applies the double standard-- What would it take for you to admit Obama or the democrats did something wrong without pathetically pointing the finger or making shit up about GW Bush?

Cannibalism? Incest? Raping snowball the white houses pet hamster?

I don't think GW did any of those things and to my knowledge no socialist rags have accused him of such... So you would pretty much be shit out of luck and would have to admit Obama did something wrong.... Hmmmmmmm

But, knowing you and your total disregard for reality and conscious bias against anything not Obama, you would probably accuse GW or Cheney of staring salaciously at Bill Clintons now deceased pet cat "Socks", and somehow in your own twisted way would justify Obama raping Snowball the hamster, or eating his cabinet members or having sex with his first cousin.

^^^^^ Does cussing make you feel like a "tough guy" HH6?  People who feel the need to constantly use expletives are usually covering up their inadequacies.

Then what inadequacies are you covering?

If the topic is military, suddenly you're a vet, but not a combat vet, but when taken to task by a real vet, then suddenly you are a combat vet.

If the topic is suicide, suddenly you have 22 years of suicide prevention training.

If the topic is business, suddenly your a former wall street business man who now owns a hugely successful company.  And, of course, let's not forget about the multiple homes and cars you claim to own.

So, what does it say about a man who feels so inadequate about his own pathetic life that he feels the need to claim expertise in every topic he's taken to task on?

Well, little boy, please do tell...
