Back in 2005, the dems and the MSM pilloried Bush and "Brownie" for alleged lackadaisical response to Katrina. The bad optics of Bush being at Crawford during an immense natural disaster caused his approval numbers to plummet, and the dems kept piling on, even as the the administration mounted one of the impressive air rescues in history.
Now, the front range is alight and hundreds, maybe thousands of homes are being torched near Colorado Springs and elsewhere in the west while a fleet of air tankers seriously depleted by Odumbo (http://monkeywrenchingamerica.com/?p=1412) struggles to help contain the blazes and, meanwhile, Odumbo holds megadollar fundraisers with Hollywood celebs and golfs.
WHERE IS THE ROMNEY CAMPAIGN? Mitt should be holding pressers from downtown Colorado Springs, with smoke billowing up behind him, and the GOP in the house should be holding hearings focusing on why the feds were have depleted our wildfire fighting capability under Obama.
You should call Ripleys. You just cleared the grand canyon with that awesome leap. Gosh you're clever:)
Quoting imamomzilla:You find wildfires amusing?
:-(
Quoting Momniscient:
Lol
I know PFT, grew up with it. You don't have a problem with Obama playing golf when a wildfire is taking homes and livelihoods from people!? A good leader leads and also shows caring for its country's people. The fires are disasters for the state, the country, and the people there. A leader should stop playing a game whatever it may be, and show he/she is made of heart, not ice! And I couldn't care less if it's rep. or dem. a president needs to show he is aware of what is going on and checking it out and talking with people. This president hates to talk with people, and he comes right out and says it, "I am not talking with anyone"! Yes that bothers me! My children live in Colorado Springs and they are military and this president couldn't care less about the fire or the military. When the oil spill happened here and he came to check for 1-0 seconds and said he wouldn't talk with anyone at the beach, sure he could see what was going on within the ten seconds. He talked with someone at a restaurant/bar there and it was staged, he took a few seconds for the cameras, national view, our local view here, he said what I told you, he is not going to talk to the people! This guy simply will not talk with people. How he gets his votes I'll never know. In my opinion he has done absolutely nothing except spent so much money that we'll never get it all paid back. So much for him not making our grandchildren pay for our debts, hahaha. I cannot like and do not trust liars!
Quoting Pema_Jampa:It's an expression I picked up while in Europe. Kind of like when someone says..."oh gosh that's believeable (not)" PFT!
Something you don't agree with. A verbal eyeroll. ;-)
Who am I defending? Obama? Well is he supposed to go put out the fires himself? I'm not sure what we are expecting from him in this case to be honest.
I don't have a problem with Obama golfing. Whatever, not my problem. If that is the impression he wants to paint then so be it.
I honestly don't trust either of them and that is ultimately where my "evil" comment came from. Harsh word? Maybe but it is how I feel.
Quoting imamomzilla:I'm still not getting it.... PM me if it's not suitable for daytime CM.
Getting back to the claim that Obama (and Romney) are "evil"....by your standards...
Why does it seem like you're defending him...particularly in this case. If he's "evil", he wouldn't care about the wildfires and would continue playing golf and rubbing elbows with celebrities, no?
Why the disbelief?
Quoting Pema_Jampa:
pft is an exlamation of disbelief.
I'd like to know too. Let me know what you find out, k? (I'll keep reading and see if it's been posted...)

Off to research WHY the tankers were decommissioned or whatever it is evil Obama did with them in order to scorch the land.
Oops, guess I already posted that info. Been a long day and my allergies are kicking booty :( Time to put my brain on the shelf for the night. :)

Hey no worries.. I appreciate you finding it for me.
Quoting shimamab:
Only found that they have been in a state of disrepair for a while now. A contract with a company was canceled last year that would have added 7 more planes. The admin cites safety/design concerns, the company refutes that. Since these fires have started, the admin has fast tracked the purchase of more planes but the first won't be completed for 3 months. So I still don't know if it was an oversight, a budget cut, a shady dealing with contracts or what. If you do find anything else, I'd love an update. Have a good night!
