THE WHITE HOUSE'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE--FROM OBAMA WHAT YOU HEAR IS NOT WHAT YOU GET

Isn't it a pity that the official White House website, a site activated at 12:01 PM on January 20th, already breaks President Obama's first proclamation "A National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation." There are several instances of Bush bashing, but the statements on Hurricane Katrina are the most egregious. Knock Mr. Bush and pat yourself on the back seemed to be the real order of the day.

President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.”

“President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. Citing the Bush Administration's "unconscionable ineptitude" in responding to Hurricane Katrina….”

Reconciliation????? Renewal?????? As President Bush said to the well-wishers upon his return to Texas, he returned with the same values he left with, and he could look himself in the mirror. One minute after taking office, President Obama ought to be ashamed.
