Louisiana Republicans Take Their Party To A New Low By Blaming Obama for Katrina
By: Jason EasleyAug. 21st, 2013
The question itself was interesting because it wasn’t measuring who Republicans in the state blame for the response to Katrina. What the question was really measuring was the depth of the Obama hate in the state. How far were Republicans willing to break from reality in order to blame President Obama for something that he had absolutely nothing to do with? The answer was pretty far.
A sizable number of Louisiana Republicans were more than willing to rewrite history in order to blame Obama.
Republicans love to claim that Obama blames Bush for everything, while ignoring the fact that the raging tire fire of an economy that Obama inherited belonged to Bush, but in this case it is clear that Republicans are willing to blame Obama for every bad event that has ever happened in American history. If Republicans could blame Obama for the Great Depression, they certainly would.
Instead of accepting and coping with their failures, Republicans have created an alternate reality. Due to the collective reinforcement provided by Republican political dominance, red states have taken this a step beyond and have created an alternate universe where Obama is to blame for everything Bush did.
Republicans aren’t stupid. They are firmly in denial of facts and reality. While Bobby Jindal destroys everything that the disasters natural and man made haven’t, Republicans have decided Barack Obama is to blame for everything.
John Edwards was right. There are two Americas, but they aren’t divided by wealth. The two Americas are separated by the acceptance or rejection of reality, and 73% of Louisiana Republicans are denying themselves a lot of reality.

The Rachel Maddow Fan Page.
"It’s equally as sad that almost half of the respondents didn’t even know who to blame. That means, when you factor in the 29% who blamed President Obama, a whopping 73% of the Republicans polled in Louisiana weren’t aware of who the President was in 2005."
New Poll Shows A Third of Louisiana Republicans Blame President Obama for Katrina Response

How many blamed President Bush? Less than those who blamed President Obama. Only 28% of those polled blamed Bush for the terrible response by our federal government following Hurricane Katrina.
And possibly just as sad, 44% said they weren’t sure who to blame.
No, this isn’t satire.
A quick refresher course since it’s obviously needed — Hurricane Katrina happened three years before Barack Obama became President!
