Hurricane Betsy
This morning I saw some 40-year-old video, some network news, some home movies, of Lyndon Johnson on September 10, 1965. Hurricane Betsy went through New Orleans on September 9, at 155 mph. 18 hours later Johnson was standing on a box with a flashlight yelling out, this is your president speaking, I am here to help you. He and the mayor and other people were riding around in amphibious vehicles. The Secret Service was really PO'd because they felt the couldn't protect the president like they were supposed to but he went about his business anyway. Granted, the levees did not break and things on the ground were different than Katrina but the point is, 40 years ago, the president of the united states knew there was a hurricane on the way and he responded to that hurricane18 hours after it had passed - IN PERSON!!!
Well, heavens....
...I'm sure the SEAL team in the area would be more than capable of taking care of business. But you see, that would set world opinion against us. I mean, here the ship was out on the high seas where it had no business being, the pirates are just poor Somali persons trying to make a living according to their rich cultural heritage. They didn't actually KILL the captain (yet) so why do they deserve death?
The whole world (not to mention the 'World Court') would be calling for the heads of those who authorized, planned the mission and pulled the trigger. They would say we should have negotiated a 'peaceful resolution' and that we used unnecessary force when a couple of million bucks (which the US has plenty of) would have settled the whole matter. Racism would be mentioned.
Such is the world we are living in now, and of which Obama wants us to be an even bigger subscriber. We get attacked and it's up to us to make amends for causing it. Sorry my eye got in the way of your fist...won't happen again.
Oh good heavens no!
We can't talk about that! Because you know the 'pubs' are the only ones running the smear campaign! WHATEVER!
Well....if he comes down from the heavens suspended on wires...
I'm turning it off....LOL!! (being facetious and playing off your celestial choir)
Heavens, NO! Not when I can read your continual
Makes me want to rush right out and buy me a Greek urn.
Thank heavens for cable!!! I'm so sick
of hearing about tomorrow. Never in my life have I seen such emphasis on an inauguration. This is 2 days now no matter what station or show you want to watch. Even my favorite cooking show!
Good heavens! He's WORSE than all of them.
I think he belongs in a psycho ward himself. What a jerk!
If that's the best MSNBC can come up with for an hour, then they deserve to be last on the ratings chart.
