O'Bummer Fiddles while Fukushima burns

Without a doubt, George Bush deserved some of the abuse he took for his actions (and that of FEMA) during Katrina. I just wish the media were as critical in covering the current POTUS as they were five years ago....

After weeks of rhetoric about no-fly zones and supporting "hope and change" in Libya, the weekend had Qaddafi taking back ground lost to the "freedom fighters" and continued bombing/mowing down of the "rebel forces" by the Libyan military.

After days of being bombarded by imagery of the destruction caused by the tsunami, a new threat took over --- the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant was busy transforming itself into "Chernobyl-On-The-Sea"

While all this was going on, President O'Bummer came on the radio for his weekly radio address.

And what was the subject of O'Bummer's weekly address to the nation? Was it about standing with those who oppose dictators? Standing with an important ally and trading partner during a time of serious humanitarian need?

No, it was much more serious.

The Paycheck Fairness Act....

I know they pre-record the addresses, but you'd think in time of true global crisis, there might be cause to actually hold off on the planned programming, and perhaps do something Presidential.

Nope.

And then did POTUS board an airplane to speak to the UN Security Council, or heads of state in Europe? Did he go to Guam or try to address the situation in Japan?

No. He went golfing at Andrews AFB.

Since golf is a favorite sport in Japan, perhaps he was trying to show support for one of our most valued trading partners and allies in the past half-decade. Since millions of Japanese couldn't go golfing, he would do so in their honor.

Please. Just send me an early ballot now that gives me the option of "Anyone but the Incumbent"

And if the disaster in Fukishima continues, we may very well again see the unimaginable effects of nuclear radiation. The only thing left at this point is for Godzilla to suddenly rise up out of the wreckage of the power plant and start walking towards Tokyo Bay....

[Editor's note: if I use the President's real name, pro-O advertisements show up on this blog. Since I have no control over the content, and they seem to be spending money advertising on any blog that mentions He Who Shouldn't Be Advertised, I have to use a more descriptive name for him here....]
