Predictably, some partisan wags on the right have declared the recent oil rig explosion off the coast of southeast Louisiana to be “Obama’s Katrina.” The logic is that if President Bush was accused of bungling the response to the hurricane, then the Obama Administration deserves equal blame for not doing enough either before or after the tragedy to minimize the damage.
Good old Newt Gingrich has posted a list of the Obama government’s alleged sins in this regard on his website, though it seems his beef is more with the “federal government” in the abstract than this White House in particular.
In any case, I just wanted to make this stupid joke.
