Condi Rice on The View: is SHOCKED that Americans think Bush doesn’t like black people
Condi was on The View yesterday and said some ridiculous things.
She said that she was saddened by Katrina because it exposed people we sometimes do not see: the poor. Excuse me?
She said she was the highest ranking black official and it was ‘hard to see‘.
But she went to the Broadway show Spamalot, and she shopped for expensive Ferragamo shoes in New York City immediately afterwards. She was even yelled at by a fellow shopper in Ferragamo: “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!” Supposedly, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman.
She says, but what really DID make her angry was the implication that President Bush allowed this to happen because these people were black.
Again, really? That’s what made her mad? Not starving people? Not a rape in the Superdome? Not children or disabled elderly frightened and needing rescue? Not dead bodies floating in homes, accidentally marked as ‘empty’ by roving military?
Its always about the IMAGE, with Condi.
First off, I totally agreed with Kanye when he went off script at the Katrina telethon.
Condi’s answer today on The View included: ‘I don’t think anyone was prepared at any level of government.’
How ridiculous. Post 9/11? No one was prepared? Its well known that the levies had been analyzed and needed repair. Here’s a video from Hardball, in 2002, prior to Katrina, where the environmentalist is treated like a crackpot by a right wing think tank coal advocate and the Hardball moderator, and the scientist specifically mentions danger to New Orleans. In 2002.
In the Washington Post, Condi recently says Iraq is becoming trustworthy because they ‘finally accepted Christmas as a holiday‘! Spoken like a true ‘my way or the highway’ ‘you’re not saved unless you believe what I believe’ Christian American. Condi insinuates that a Muslim country adding a Christian holiday to their official calendar is proof of democracy, but the United States only honors Christian holidays, not Muslim or Jewish or other ethnic holidays.
How hypocritical.
Its a good thing she’s out of a job. She’s as blind as Bush. Which is why he’s accused of not liking black people.
He did not treat them as he would have treated his rich base, the fundamental Christians for whom he left vacation early to sign a document in the Terry Schiavo case. He showed up for one white woman in a vegetative state but not for thousands of low income blacks.
That is why people think George Bush doesn’t like black people.
Honestly, that is not what Condi Rice should be talking about on The View. Didn’t she have a job? Doesn’t she have thoughts about that? Rehabbing Bush’s legacy doesn’t jibe with the facts.
