the real funny in this post is how it started with MCCAIN IS DOING AMAZING THINGS IN CEDAR RAPIDS BUT OBAMA ISNT LOL...yet there has been no mention of this in the media (I know, liberal run media controlled by Fidel Castro) and the original poster neglected to include a link. Then, once we hit the page with Obama shoveling dirt (still no McCain photo ops), he is putting on a political show.

haha, after the photo op, how many babies did he kiss? I know that I usually show up to do hard work in a collared shirt. doesn't look the like the pants and boots fit him. I wonder why? I wonder if obama noticed this an hour later when he was in a limo to get some authentic sushi.

why don't you put up some pictures of john mccain being tortured in a POW camp? see, barack's life has always been cake. he has never overcome anything. let's put some stuff into context friend.

It is funny. I hate to make a big deal out of what is little more than a photo-op but apparently this is a big deal. To voters.

How can I tell? Because the republicans are really squirming on this one. I mean really squirming. The usual attempts to twist this story are surprisingly weak.

And the most vulnerable spot seems to be the infamous cake photo. Looks like we have a real Achilles heel. Interesting.

Thus for your perusal the following is offered:

When The Cameras Are Off: Barack Obama’s Hurricane Katrina Record « Think On These Things

Here is Barack Obama’s record on rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina.

* Sept. 2, 2005: Obama holds press conference urging Illinoisans to contribute to the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
* Sept. 5, 2005: Obama goes to Houston to visit evacuees with Presidents Clinton and Bush.
* Sept. 7, 2005: Obama introduces bill to create a national emergency family locator system
* Sept. 8, 2005: Obama introduces bill to create a National Emergency Volunteers Corps.
* Sept. 8, 2005: Obama co-sponsors the Katrina Emergency Relief Act of 2005 introduced by Senator Harry Reid
* Sept. 8, 2005: Obama co-sponsors the Hurricane Katrina Bankruptcy Relief and Community Protection Act of 2005 introduced by Senator Russ Feingold
* Sept. 12, 2005: Obama introduces legislation requiring states to create an emergency evacuation plan for society’s most vulnerable
* Sept. 15, 2005: Obama issues public response to President Bush’s speech about Gulf Coast rebuilding.
* Sept. 21, 2005: Obama co-sponsors bill to establish a Katrina commission to investigate response to the disaster introduced by Hillary Clinton


This is just a starter. So there now research and it is amazing the answers to your questions that are out there. Now I will admit that this is a pro Obama site so I am sure you will provide a listing with links of all that Mr. McCain has done that far exceeds that of that other person
What say you now, Sunshine Chick?

This reminds me of John Kerry and his gun episode.
So if he helps, he's grandstanding. Why bother posting when all you want to do is show how much you hate Obama. You lose your credibility in so doing and certainly will garner no support.

so...it's Monday afternoon....where's Mr. Helpful John McCain? Oh! "Standing ready" from the shores of Riverside, California.

Well, the town name is close! Give the guy a break, he was a POW.
