Yep. They went there. The New York Times is now comparing the disastrous roll-out of ObamaCARE to Hurricane Katrina and Bush’s ‘Hurricane Response.’ Not only is the ObamaCARE roll-out comparable to Hurricane Katrina by the New York Times, but they also whine about House Republicans not wanting any part of the disasterous law. You see, Bush faced ‘ cooperative Democrats’ during his second term. The poor victim Obama faces Republicans who have ‘blocked him at virtually every turn.’ Now, if Republicans have blocked Obama at every turn, would we have ObamaCARE in the first place?
Barack Obama won the presidency by exploiting a political environment that devoured George W. Bush in a second term plagued by sinking credibility, failed legislative battles, fractured world relations and revolts inside his own party.
President Obama is now threatened by a similar toxic mix. The disastrous rollout of his health care law not only threatens the rest of his agenda but also raises questions about his competence in the same way that the Bush administration’s botched response to Hurricane Katrina undermined any semblance of Republican efficiency.
