Amazing Racists, Part XXVII

Republicans in Louisiana think that Obama is more to blame for the Hurricane Katrina Debacle than George W. Bush (via TPM):

Twenty-eight percent said they think former President George W. Bush, who was in office at the time, was more responsible for the poor federal response while 29 percent said Obama, who was still a freshman U.S. Senator when the storm battered the Gulf Coast in 2005, was more responsible. Nearly half of Louisiana Republicans — 44 percent — said they aren't sure who to blame.

I'd be interested in hearing what other things Louisiana Republicans blame our first Black president for (The Great Depression? The Dust Bowl? The Crucifixion of Christ?).

It's amazing the things that racial hatred will make a person believe.  I was camping with friends at a Central Oregon lake last month and was trying to take an afternoon nap when the following exchange about Obama took place in the campsite next to ours:

MALE:  "Man, I sure hope that Nigger doesn't get reelected in 2016."

FEMALE:  "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that -- somebody will shoot him by then, don't you think?"

There were several other people in that particular campsite at the time, so I expected at least one of them would have been smart enough to point out that Obama cannot run for a third term, but nobody did. 

And the most amazing thing of all is that every one of those individuals probably vote -- although they are going to be pretty surprised when they open their ballots in 2016 and Obama isn't on it.
