Remembering the Katrina lies

By Steve McGough / September 2, 2008 / Comments Off on Remembering the Katrina lies

Just a quick note to guide you over to American Thinker today. Lance Fairchok writes Big Lies in the Big Easy: The Ghosts of Hurricane Katrina. It’s a good read and a reminder as to how Democrats – when backed against a wall – immediately target the blame elsewhere.

The Sunday Morning talk shows were a blame game fest and frankly at this point it’s become obnoxious. Don’t you think. But the facts are simple … someone should tell these clowns Bush is not in charge of the clean-up … Obama is. He said so.
