And that's just the ones who are in the Senate.

There are very few actual conservatives who are in either branch of Congress.

What is a No True Scotsman fallacy, Alex.

No, not really. An actual conservative wants conservation of the republic. They would be more likely to be members of the Constitution Party. How many Constitutionalists are in Congress?

I don't consider the Republican party to be "conservative". Are they more conservative than the Democratic party? Yes, but that isn't all that hard to do.

A significant chunk of Louisiana Republicans evidently believe that President Barack Obama is to blame for the poor response to the hurricane that ravaged their state more than three years before he took office.

Given that New Orleans' recovery has been under Obama's watch for the past four-plus years, it doesn't seem unreasonable that people who fault aspects of the administration's effort as inadequate or misguided would lay some of the ongoing problems at his feet.

yes the link/article is 3 years old, in that article there is a link "additional issues" and while it does not state when that site was last updated, the part about INTENDING to keep the promise of helping new orleans is still listed, so it apears Obama doesn't feel that its a PROMISE KEPT!

Katrina
President Obama will keep the broken promises to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur. Within weeks of his inauguration, he made a renewed commitment to partner with the people of the Gulf Coast to rebuild now, stronger than ever.




making it a somewhat valid piont!

Do you really think the rebuilding would be finished in 3 years? It will be probably a decade even with massive outside investment.

I never made any predictions about when or IF they would ever be done, you pointed to the age of the article, I pointed out the statment by OBAMA regarding it was still on the whitehouse website, making the time referance less part of the issue.
now you say, well heck, it might be still more years before the recovery is complete, rendering your TIME referance COMPLETELY null and void!

so which is it, is the article worthless because its three years old, or does obama get a free pass even if it still takes ANOTHER 3 years?

as the other poster mentioned, SOME people may feel some way about OBAMA not getting it done and it IS a valid point!

the point is 8 years ago, 5 years ago, 3 years ago, 1 year ago or last week, obama has had the ball for 5ish years and SOME people might have an OPINION on that fact!

bush had three years to respond, obama has had 5 years to respond and SOME people seem to STILL be waiting for a response!
