 It turns out that presumptive Republican nominee John "McSame" McCain has scheduled a major speech to emphasize his differences with President George W. Bush for tonight.
In New Orleans.
Well, Kenner, to be exact. So I guess that's one difference!
At 7 PM.
Which is during Hillary's speech tonight, which has been described as a concession speech by the media. Or NOT.
But that's not the point of this post ... the point is that John "McSame" Bush is coming to Louisiana to emphasize his differences with George W. Bush in a speech at the same time that all the networks will be televising Hillary's speech. Does that strike you the action of someone who is being sincere? Or someone who is trying to hide those "differences"?
But even more damning ... there are no differences when it comes to John McCain and President Bush when it comes to rebuilding Louisiana ... from the Orleans Parish Democratic Executive Committee:
But when Louisiana really needed John McCain he was off eating cake with George W. Bush. And when Louisiana needed John McCain to support us in our recovery efforts, he criticized us for wanting to eat pork.
At every turn, John McCain has opposed Louisiana's recovery efforts, from voting against $28 billion in Hurricane relief, opposing granting Medicaid and unemployment assistance to victims of the storm and funding to help small business recover. To him, it was all just pork.
"What we call an attempt to recover from the most devastating disaster in our nation's history, John McCain calls pork," James Gray, chairman of the Orleans Parish Democratic Executive Committee said. "How in the world can we trust someone with such a misguided view to support Louisiana as President?"
"John McCain cannot have his cake and eat it too," Gray said. "He cannot dismiss our recovery efforts as pork one day and then come down here pretending that he understands what we went through.
"He still will not commit to full funding for Hurricane five levees, he just wants to use our destruction as a backdrop to separate himself from the President," Gray said. "This is not just an offense to Louisianans but to all Americans who believe that we need a President who will be there for them in times of crisis."
Any questions, y'all??? |
