Romney's campaign is the gift that keeps on giving---to Obama. Today, in advance of the first debate, they want us all to remember that in 2007, then Senator Obama accused the Bush administration---you know, the last Republican administration---of deliberately turning its back on NOLA in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Obama was not the only one to reach this conclusion. Remember Anderson Cooper in New Orleans? Remember the massive anti-war protest in the fall of 2005 that turned into a massive Pro-NOLA, anti-Bush protest? I do. I was there. Remember how we cried seeing one of the nation's most beloved cities abandoned by the feds, because its citizens were mostly Democrats?

And I will always remember the armed national guard members, and blackwater, and how NOLA was left to die, by a bunch of thugs with an r after their names. (and I will never forget that the levees were not repaired because we were too damned busy blowing up other people's sandboxes)
yeah, bring it up, you out-of-touch cretin--it was YOUR party that did that.
