PETE THE BANKER: NEW ORLEANS LEVEES BREACHED; OBAMA CAMPAIGNING; TALKS BEER WITH REDDIT

So overtopping; is that any better than breaching??
Where is the media outrage over wasted stimulus dollars.  Where is the media’s castigation of the Administration for its slowness in dealing with insufficient levees; levees which can’t even withstand a Category One Hurricane?  Where are the endless headlines proclaiming the Administration for its ineptitude, indifference and insensitivity to the residents of New Orleans and the surrounding area, especially given what was learned in the aftermath of Katrina?

UPDATED: ABC News on RNC "Happy to Party While Black People Die"

Listen to the first ten seconds. It actually sounds like Diane Sawyer is saying it, but Newsbusters thinks it’s a producer. Either way, these people are disgusting especially when taken into context of two previous posts on this blog:
UPDATE: Yahoo news says it was a guy saying this tripe. He’s been fired. Why? We already knew he was biased…

Dems’ War on REAL Women: Leftists Call Black Republican Mia Love a N****R

The Utah Mayor and candidate for Congress Mia Love is getting the Condi treatment.

They changed her wiki page to read:

This is how intolerant bigoted leftists treat black or hispanic republicans. They treat them as runaway slaves from their plantation. Just ask South Carolina Congressman Tim Scott, Florida Congressman Allen West, Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, former Congressman Artur Davis, and numerous other people of color who have come to the GOP for freedom from government tentacles.

I’d say ‘shame on you bigots’, but I don’t think there’s any hope for you.

One bright spot in all of this, however. More people will see your pandering to people of color as just that. You sell slavery to government programs. You don’t preach freedom.

UPDATED: Condi Rice and the Left’s RNC 2012 "Negro Spotting"

UPDATED
Michelle Malkin and Twitchy Media/Politics have busted the left on a game they’re playing at the 2012 RNC. They call it “Negro Spotting” Check out the NAACP member and City Councilman joining in the left’s racist antics:

See the rest here. 

Of course the left is offended at any black person who becomes a runaway slave from their ideological plantation. The racist left in fact inflicts even more invective on these folks because they think for themselves.

Take former National Security Adviser and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. She’ll be a featured speaker tonight at the RNC. If the left is so sensitive to the plight of black man in America, then why did they do this to her when she was in the Bush Administration?

Remember When the Magazine Gave Her “Devil Eyes?”

Pete the Banker: On Levees, Hurriances and Shovel Ready Jobs

LA Governor Bobby Jindal

Pardon me for asking a stupid question, but one of headlines this week is that the Army Corp of Engineers was rushing to shore up the gaps in the levees around New Orleans. Now as I recall the avowed purpose of the Administration’s Stimulus Program passed in 2009 was to support shovel ready infrastructure projects. And what could be more shovel ready and have had more widespread voter support than fortifying the levies around New Orleans?




Allegedly money has been spent on New Orleans environmental and levee restoration (~$14 billion scheduled; allegedly 70% complete); but obviously not enough given the headlines and apparently some levees restored are literally sinking into the muck.  

Why didn’t this Administration spend more stimulus dollars, more quickly on the New Orleans levees rather than things like turtle tunnels in Florida?? For that matter given the BP oil spill disaster, why wasn’t this Administration more supportive of the Louisiana Governor’s efforts to build barrier islands and barriers off the Louisiana shoreline to stop the oil spill and to help shelter Louisiana shoreline wetlands?
