Today's media meme: "ACA is 'Obama's Katrina'" But note the stark differences between the two:

[Triana]

Then tell me the goddamned media isn't pushing a particular narrative to whip ignorants into a drooling, angry frenzy in preparation for sending them to support the GOP in 2014?

This is classic. FACTS don't matter. The shit they're flinging never meets a brain cell - just the emotions of sheeple the corporate media want to manipulate.

Bush's Katrina COST thousands of lives. Obama's ACA SAVED hundreds of thousands of lives.

But this fact never a brain cell meets in corporate mediaworld.

VERY. INTERESTINK.

1. It really pisses me off for people to compare the ACA to Katrina.

They could fix the ACA with a few votes in Congress. There's no fixing Katrina. People down here lost loved ones and possessions that they'll never see again. My town still looks like shit. Katrina wasn't a fucking inconvenience.

2. This talking point

pisses me off so badly that I have avoided even talking about it. I went through Katrina. You do 4 weeks without water and six weeks without electricity during the heat of summer with humidity above 90% with temperatures in the 90's, very few resources, eating MRE's and damn thankful for them, unable to bathe or flush a toilet and tell me that it is just as fucking bad as not being able to log onto a website.

Newsflash - I couldn't log onto a website for months because we had no electricity, no cable, no running WATER, and was fucking absurdly grateful when I COULD finally flush a toilet. It was like Christmas.

3. Thank you for your perspective

I'm glad you were able to make it through that horrible episode and our nation's history.

Bush should have been impeached for letting Americans die like that.

4. It makes me mad as hell

to see people even dream that it is the same fucking thing.

5. You really went through hell, Aerows.

I was a lot better off after the storm, and a lot of us didn't even know just how bad it was for some people. Several of my friends were in a similar situation as you, but we were so isolated from each other that I had no idea what they were going through. Nobody should have been living like that; there's no excuse for them not getting help to y'all.

6. No, ACA is Obama's Apollo 13; The GOP is America's Katrina!

8. Jon Stewart Calls 'Obama's Katrina' An 'Offensive' Nickname For Healthcare Rollout

(starting at 1 minute 30 seconds)

Several pundits have dubbed the troubled rollout of Healthcare.gov to be "Obama's Katrina," a label that Stewart found to be patently offensive and reductive. "Yes, I believe we've all seen the damning photos of the presidential flyover surveying the human suffering of the Healthcare.gov website from a safe distance," he quipped, calling back to the infamous photo of President Bush assessing the damage of Katrina from the safety of Air Force One.

"Comparing the government abdication of responsibility during Hurricane Katrina, the death of hundreds of people, the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people, to a f***ing website, is offensive," he said in response to news personalities such as Chris Wallace blasting the president's response.
