Could you fucking imagine if Obama withheld FEMA aid for favors?

No...no you can't because he'd never do such a horrible thing. But if he did, they'd have his head.

So, let's see...

The last Republican president let an entire city drown because it pretty much was filled with people who'd never support him. And now, at one time, the possible next Republican president basically withheld money to devasted cities for favors and retribution.

The GOP really is the party of "fuck you, you're on your own."

I'm going to fake the spelling, Blagoyavich? No time was wasted on his investigation. And poor Don Siegelman, his deal is a true travesty of justice.

Au contraire, Talking Head, we need more men and women with class and style. Like Barack Obama.

Federal aid and FEMA funds were flowing to Haley Barbour in Mississippi, but over in Louisiana, where the governor was a lady democrat, Bushies were throwing up all kinds of road blocks and LA couldn't get any Federal assistance for a while. Thank God Anderson Cooper was down there reporting so people could see what was really going on.

The minions would be storming the WH.

It's funny, thoughts of BO doing anything like that would never cross my mind. I'm not naive, I just don't see that in him.

Of course, they'd scream their heads off if Obama had done this. Why is anyone surprised?

Travelgate, Vince Foster, Whitewater, Monica Lewinski = The Impeachment of a President for only 2nd time in US history

Lying American into a war, the deaths of over 100,000 Iraqis and 5,000 Americans = Crickets Chirping
