Flash Back Time: Unprepared

[BRU]

btw: there have been no confirmed cases of H5N1 in the US. After peaking in 2006 at 79 deaths.

Oh and.......

The Obama administration has quietly scrapped plans to enact sweeping new federal quarantine regulations that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention touted four years ago as critical to protecting Americans from dangerous diseases spread by travelers.
The regulations, proposed in 2005 during the Bush administration amid fears of avian flu, would have given the federal government additional powers to detain sick airline passengers and those exposed to certain diseases. They also would have expanded requirements for airlines to report ill passengers to the CDC and mandated that airlines collect and maintain contact information for fliers in case they later needed to be traced as part of an investigation into an outbreak.

Airline and civil liberties groups, which had opposed the rules, praised their withdrawal.

There are so many videos now out there of Obama either lying, being incompetent, and/or out of touch with reality.

Just more proof that electing a POTUS as a feel good affirmative action experiment to make history was a bad bad idea.

If there is not enough proof out there now for even the staunchest Obama supporter to see his lies to the American people, then there can never be enough. Sometimes we have to just assume that some people are hardwired to cling to their Party and whoever it has told them to suck up to........... and they will poke out their own eyes rather than see truth.

Yes.
He was an affirmative action experiment that FAILED.

The man is totally dangerous with a pen and telephone.

 

[Fast Eddy]

Obama is a huge liar and doesn't even pretend to hide it, he just says what he wants with no connection to reality. He has no shame and expects everyone to just follow along as he, the POTUS has spoken. He is a walking talking live joke.

Indeed
A very bad affirmative action President.

 

[Charcat]

Please, democrats, next time you get a candidate, please make sure he/she has some experience in governing and knows something besides community organizing, i.e. activism.

So often this specter of race hovers around conservative disapproval.

That's just sad.

Obama's incompetence has absolutely nothing to do with race. His election, however, did, and you know it.

He was elected twice. The republicans had two chances to present the nation with a better candidate for the job. They didn't. It's that simple.

 

[as seen on tv]

good find. obama may be the most hypocritical president in the history of the nation.

 

[MrMike]

Hey, when he was elected you know exactly what the narrative was. Making history and Liberals fawning over themselves, tingles up their legs, that they made it happen.

So, I call it exactly as it was (a feel good affirmative action experiment which has gone very wrong).

If that's racist, fine. But that's exactly what happened.

Really ?

Because it starting to feel as if you cons are ignoring the job he has done when you rant about failure.

Longest streak of private sector job growth in history.
This year is shaping up to be the best job creation year since 1999
He may even end up cutting the unemployment rate in half from its peak during the recession.

The deficits was not cut not by half as he promised. Instead it's been cut by 2/3rds from the 1.4 trillion in the year he in which he took over the oval office. They are at the lowest percentage of GDP since before WWII.

Which is all we heard about from you cons when he took office (jobs and deficits)
Now you don't even mention jobs or deficits anymore.

Health care reform has cost less and covered more people than was projected and may lower premiums for individual and employers and lower the deficit more than predicted. And you know having a larger portion of the population covered by health care is a huge step towards being prepared for an epidemic like Ebola since it means that people infected might seek medical attention earlier rather than waiting.
Which can help with identify and containing an epidemic.


Now if you want to talk about being prepared for an Ebola outbreak in this country that would be similar to a flu epidemic. Its not going to happen. They are apples and oranges. But you can fault this president for not applying more resources to the problem in West Africa where it was needed as the best barrier in preventing this disease from reaching out shores.

The second time is not an experiment. At that point you're doing it because you like the results. America liked the results they got from this president and re elected him. It had nothing to do with his race.

Did America "like the results of Bush when they re-elected him"?

Just curious.

Since almost all of their effort had been dedicated to increasing the level of anxiety in this country with fear mongering over a potential repeat of 9/11 And there had not been a repeat of 9/11.

Yeah they liked the results and that is how they got re elected.

Huh. I'd always attributed it to the many deficiencies of the alternative (Kerry) rather than the superlatives about Bush. Likewise, I think the same about BHO's second election (and Romney).

Kerry was fighting terrorist financiers when bush was in bed with them. Look up the BCCI investigation and you'll see the same folks of bailed out bush's fail oil company were bankrolling terrorist at the same time. Back then Kerry was working on taking them down. Bush really didn't start to flail as president until his 2nd term. By then it was too late to get ride of him. Voters could only respond with the midterm elections when they kicked the GOP out of leadership in both houses at once.

I found Bush to be a horrible performer in his first term - but then I think Kerry is a complete clown as well. I don't judge competency by the accompanying (D) or (R).
