Obama: Earthquake in Hawaii

Poor Obama.

He's been very confused lately.

What's this about the earthquake in Hawaii?

When being interviewed by Bret Baier, Obama was trying to explain the importance of the "Louisana Purchase," the $300 million deal that bought Mary Landrieu's vote on health care reform.

OBAMA: Something that was called a special deal was for Louisiana. It was said that there were billions — millions of dollars going to Louisiana, this was a special deal. Well, in fact, that provision, which I think should remain in, said that if a state has been affected by a natural catastrophe, that has created a special health care emergency in that state, they should get help. Louisiana, obviously, went through Katrina, and they're still trying to deal with the enormous challenges that were faced because of that.

(CROSS TALK)

OBAMA: That also — I'm giving you an example of one that I consider important. It also affects Hawaii, which went through an earthquake. So that's not just a Louisiana provision. That is a provision that affects every state that is going through a natural catastrophe.

The bribe to secure Landrieu's vote affects earthquake-stricken Hawaii?

How could Obama say that Hawaii "went through an earthquake" and was "going through a natural catastrophe"?

What's the timeline?

Obama was vacationing in Hawaii over Christmas. He was romping on the beach, golfing, and eating shaved ice. He couldn't be bothered to attend church on Christmas Day. He couldn't be bothered to address the attempted bombing of Flight 253 by Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab on Christmas Day. The terrorist attack was foiled on Friday and Obama didn't make a public statement about it until the following Monday.

Until yesterday, during the interview with Baier, I don't believe that Obama made a public statement about the earthquake in Hawaii. I may have missed it, but I'm fairly certain that Obama hasn't mentioned that natural catastrophe.

(When was the earthquake? It was in 2006, years before Obama's Christmas vacation.)

But thank God Landrieau was willing to whore herself.

I hate to think of what would happen to all those earthquake victims in Hawaii had that bribe not come together the way it did.

And by the way, I think the media have done a terrible job of covering the devastation left in the wake of the natural disaster in Hawaii.
