Yes what happened the last time was criminal and I doubt this president would allow anything close to that response to be repeated. President Obama likes us for who we are as not too long ago he was one of us too. GW and the dick they couldn't care less about NO or the people who lived there and called it home. You see with the likes of the Bushco criminal crew they felt that the world was theirs and they were only letting us live on it. President O feels like most of us do that the measure of a country is in how the worse off is treated. I truly believe that too.
