Praise for George W. Bush

[elfs]

Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Laura Ingrahm have all gone on the air to criticize President Obama for reacting quickly to the Haiti disaster, all the while waiting several days before reacting to the PantyBomber. The logic seems to be that Obama should have gone on the air to pat America on the head and reassure us all instead of letting the appropriate authorities and agencies do their job, but reacting so quickly on Haiti was a cheap attempt to win the praise of, as Limbaugh put it, "Light brown and dark black people."

Enter former President George W. Bush, who was asked about this criticism. He said, "I don't know what they're talking about. I've been briefed by the President about the response. I appreciate the President's quick response to this disaster."

See, according to the bloody-minded right, waiting three days and letting more people die would have been the appropriate thing for our President to do. That way, it wouldn't have looked like he was politicizing the suffering.
