   LGM is the Kentucky National Guarad enough to help everyone? If this had been Bush you would be screaming your head off. By the way as previous noted Louiana did have a demo governor back then during Katrina.

   Obama Derangement Syndrome. This thread is dripping with it.

   As for Kentucky, the National Guard is fully deployed. That didn’t happen during Katrina.

   Ummm – Katrina didn’t hit Kentucky

   However for the gulf states the National Guard was the primary first responder. Go peddle your lies and misinformation elsewhere.

   The Jawa Report has a reminder of Obama’s shot at Bush:

   HOPE/CHANGE!!! Obama And FEMA Leave Americans To Die In Kentucky

   Kentucky’s Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear declared a state of emergency on January 27th.

   Obama, on his website, scolded the Bush administration for poor response to Hurricane Katrina. Where is he now? Where is the MSM?

   LGM do you ever get tired of looking so ignorant? The National Guard is a state militia, the governor is the commander in chief. The federal government can deploy national guard troops and I am not sure the MOU on that, but Kentucky has activated their own national guard. Obama is toasty warm in his oval office, looking like the inexperienced tool that he is.

   I know it isn’t what you nor the authors intended, but your “study” seems to make the participating blacks appear shiftless and lazy; not unintelligent, but lacking personal motivation. How, precisely, is this a net gain for the image of blacks?

   First off, we are talking about black children, not blacks in general. And how many times has it been said that children will rise to the level of our expectations? If black students are not provided proper motivation and role models, it is no surprise they suffer academically. Perhaps Obama provides that missing component for many.

   As a lawyer, I would have expected you to notice that I said “participating” blacks, i.e. the blacks taking the test. Apparently you also missed the part of the article that said
   

   During the periods when Obama’s media presence was less visible, there was a significant disparity in the test scores of Black and White adults who had taken old GRE exams. During peak moments of Obama’s campaign, however, test scores between Black and White adults were virtually the same.

   Your failure to comprehend either the basis of the study or my comment makes your rebuttal weak, uninformed, and fallacious, not to mention shallow, thoughtless, and lacking in relevance. Your grade is an F.

   The article I had originally seen a few days ago did not mention it was a GED test. And in trying to link to an article quickly, I took the first one that came up on google and failed to read it.

   Fair enough. I deserve your comment, though I certainly don’t think I was being particularly nasty to you.

   But fail: chapoutier.

   Hooray!

   Rendition only evil when Bush did it- Obama to keep Clintonian “rendition” policy.

   Maybe we can send all our al Qaeda friends in Gitmo to Turkey.

   Just thinking of ‘Midnight Express’.

   Back in the good old days when ‘rendition’ was a bad thing…

   LOS ANGELES – Before her latest film, if anyone had asked Reese Witherspoon what the term “extraordinary rendition” meant, she might have answered with a blank stare.

   The words could be bureaucratese for something as innocuous as a tax deduction. But as Witherspoon’s “Rendition” spells out darkly and melodramatically, the term actually stands for a U.S. government practice of transferring terrorism suspects to other countries, where their interrogations could subject them to abuse and torture.

   “I don’t think I realized what the term was called,” Witherspoon told The Associated Press at September’s Toronto International Film Festival, where “Rendition” played in advance of its theatrical release Friday. “The term is not really in the popular vernacular.

   …….

   “It sounds like public-policy rigmarole. It doesn’t sound like anything that you would connect with the torture and detainment of innocent people.”

   ………..

   In “Rendition,” Witherspoon plays the wife of an Egyptian-born man (Omar Metwally) suspected of involvement in a Middle East terrorist bombing who is abducted by U.S. authorities and sent overseas for questioning at a secret facility. Jake Gyllenhaal co-stars as a CIA analyst who comes to question his government’s sanctioning of such abusive interrogations.

   When a Egyptian-born chemical engineer goes missing, his wife is desperate to track him down, unaware that he’s in a U.S. run detention facility.

   As her character begs for answers from government officials, including a cold-hearted intelligence bureaucrat played by Meryl Streep, Witherspoon transforms into a desperate, emotional wreck.

    I didn’t say or even imply that you were, and I don’t think I was being particularly nasty to you, either, but to paraphrase what you have said on previous occasions, you can see whatever you want in it. I tend to look for a telling riposte, frequently even biting, but I try to avoid nasty.

    On the other hand, when you offer rebuttal, you should probably recheck your understanding of the facts first.

    My mother spoke with our cousins in Western KY. She was supposedly lucky to get through because not even cell phones are working reliably. They are making out OK because they have a fireplace. They have a generator, but no gas – so after a few days, when they could make it out, they had to drive to TN to get some.
