29% of Louisiana GOP blame Obama for poor Katrina response

For discussion and debate about anything. (Not a roleplay related forum; out-of-character commentary only.)

What do you think of this survey?

29% of the GOP in Louisiana just proved how delusional they are in their outright hatred of Obama.

61%
Nah, they were just confused about which hurricane the poll referred to, is all. It's not like Hurricane Katrina affected them personally or anything. Wait a minute...

Obama is a wizard that is twice as powerful as Harry Potter, Gandalf, and Shazam combined and caused the disaster and stifled Bushes potentially heroic response.

11%
Obama is a time traveler that can take over people in the past, this is why Republicans sometimes seem confused or slow to respond, they are good Christian souls trying to resist possession by Obama.

That commie socialist fascist demonic warmongering Kenyan Muslim jihadist dictator wannabe that calls himself Barack (Hussein) Obama is responsible for every evil in Human history, since he is...the devil.

The poll is full of lies! It's an evil liberalist agenda where liberals say they are republican, register as republican, and take the poll to make God fearing Conservatives look bad!

29% of Louisiana GOP blame Obama for poor Katrina response

Postby Blasted Craigs » Fri Sep 12, 2014 10:07 am

---Modified title, as Hurricane Katrina is famous enough Hurricane is not needed in title---
---Added best attempt to make the poll less biased due to post... :p
Due to offended conservatives, added a "the pollers are trollin, nothin to see here, move along" option :rofl: ----
In a survey of Louisiana Republicans, when asked who was to blame for the devastation from the poor government response to hurricane Katrina, 28% blames Bush, 44% did not know who to blame, and 29% blamed Obama.
They responded with these numbers despite the fact Hurricane Katrina happened 3 years before Obama took office.
Link.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/lousiana-republicans-blame-president-obama-hurricane-katrina-response-article-1.1433096

This in my opinion shows just how out of reality the GOP base is with, well, reality.

What say you? Is the GOP delusional? Does Obama have magic powers of a planes-walker and summoned the Hurricane Katrina storm and then cast a befuddle spell on President Bush to make him look bad? Is Obama a time traveling operative a la quantum leap and took over Bush so he could not respond? Or some other answer.

Side note. How worried does this make you, considering with the gerrymandering and the unfair representation between cities and rural areas (that is more based on territory and not population so much, so the rural areas have a disproportional voice in relation to their overall percentage of the total population, so we will not likely anytime soon shake their death-grip on congress) that this minority that enjoys so much control over our government, is almost a third (at least in Louisiana ) delusional?


Or do you think they know the truth, and we need to open our eyes to the evils of the commie socialist fascist demonic warmongering Kenyan Muslim jihadist dictator wannabe that calls himself Barack (Hussein) Obama?( In a scratchy whisper)who is the devil....


Personally, I think this proves how delusional 29 % of Republicans in Louisiana actually are. You?

The government in America can best be described with an analogy. The two political parties are two cats, the elite is a rat, power is the cheese, and the common people is the floor. The floor feels two cats can guard the cheese better than one. But the cats fight each other, and the rat makes off with the cheese in glee. The floor cannot leave, and soon both cats serve the rat, because the rat has the all powerful cheese, and gives the cats a small bit of it. So the floor gets crapped on by all three, as they eat the cheese together.

I know, I compressed it so it would fit. Damn NS limits on title length!
But seriously, to avoid flames from conservatives, I made sure to post in the title that this survey was of Louisiana Republicans, not American Republicans, since the immediate response I could see would be to accuse me a cherry picking or misrepresentation of the title, instead of debating the survey results.

This might in fact be a case of @29% of GOP respondents don't pay very close attention to, or take very seriously, a random survey and have gotten used to gainsaying "Obama" when someone says "Who do you blame?"

Which sounds like I'm making excuses, but such a state is also kind of sad.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

On a second look, the cobwebs cleared in my thinking process, and I removed Hurricane from the title.

Yes, it happened Three years before he was president.

As a follow up, maybe ask these people if Obama is to blame for the conviction of Rubin Carter.
