While working on such front-page news as Obama complaining that his kids missed a day of school in Washington, D.C., because of a few inches of snow, the Obama Media missed out on reporting the first major crisis of the new administration.And it's not the pattern of tax cheats Obama picked for his cabinet.
A natural disaster struck parts of the United States last week, leaving 55 dead and hundreds of thousands without power. The federal government's response was anemic. More could have been done to help the victims.
If you're wondering why the latest failing by FEMA was not reported by the mainstream media (know known as the Obama Media), you're not alone.
From Investor's Business Daily: "Katrina crashes into New Orleans, FEMA responds feebly and President Bush is blamed for the loss of life and limb. Winter smacks middle America, killing 55, FEMA's late again, but President Obama gets a pass."
The newspapers say it's no surprise that Obama's failings are being covered up by the mainstream media. After all, Obama could not have been elected president without the full cooperation and direct intervention of the liberal media.
But this is more than just another beef about liberal media bias. It's about life and death. It's about holding elected officials accountable.
From Investor's Business Daily, which finds remarkable similarities in the federal government's response to Katrina and the ice storms that hit several states last week:
Obama, whose administration on taking office vilified Bush on Katrina, has done no more for the victims of the winter storm. Yet no tirade has been forthcoming from either the media or the loopy orbit of Celebrity Planet.Read the full editorial at the newspaper's Web site.
The double standard is what we've come to expect, but it's not what we should continue to accept.

During Katrina, the local politicians were the ones that failed to respond. The CIA wouldn't allow Bush to enter the city due to snipers firing shots at law enforcement for disturbing their looting. Flying a chopper into New Orleans was the only way he could have entered the city under flooding conditions and that would have been suicide but Bush didn't bring it up for fear he would be considered a wimp by the press. Has Obama been in Kentucky and Tennessee yet after better than a week of natural disaster devastation? No!
Yep. the Obamedia continues to give this guy a pass as they have from the get-go
funny how the drive-by's and the 3 major networks don't mention anything on the death count in iraq "daily" like they did with bush, since obamme is the commader-in-chief
