Apparently, since Obama included Haiti and left out Tennessee in a ceremonial proclamation — which was issued before the flooding in Nashville started — he hates white people or something.
Barack Obama has still, to my knowledge, not spoken personally of the events in Tennessee or attempted to visit — an act that would have gotten George W. Bush savagely attacked by the press, Democrats, and Congress.
More troubling, Barack Obama neither altered the National Day of Prayer Proclamation nor issued a subsequent one.
Heck, even Bob McDonnell reissued his Confederate History Proclamation to include a line about slavery.
Yes, McDonnell’s failure to mention slavery in his Treason in Defense of White Supremacy celebration is exactly like Obama’s omission of a flood that hadn’t happened yet.
Great hire, CNN.

No, just country music.
I don’t think Obama is a very good prez but I have seen no evidence that he hates America. Why would he? That’s just silly.
“…an act that would have gotten George W. Bush savagely attacked by the press, Democrats, and Congress.”
Erick, you are single-handedly doing the job of the fourth estate, a major political party, and an entire branch of the federal government. Kudos!
CNN must be so proud.
CNN, The Most Trusted Name in Infotainment.
No, just country music.
Zing!
That’s because you don’t live in an alternate reality made up out of whole cloth.
Who could blame him (twang, twang, twang)
I’m still pissed about his census worker/shotgun comments. It’s kinda been a busy week for Obama, what with the oil gushing and the financial stuff going on. Oh, and the Times Square bomber. Nashville needs help, but Obama is human. (Harry Reid supports the break up the banks and audit the fed amendments!)
Scans better like this.
Yeah, well, he has a point. You never, ever hear anyone criticizing Obama in the media.
If only someone like, oh, I don’t know, CNN would hire someone who criticizes Obama all the time. Dare to dream, right?
Natch.
Yeah whats up with that does CNN really want to keep Eric employed when not if some nut Eric inspired shoots a Census worker?
Also did Eric send in his Census forms this time? last time?
Obama is from Illinois every year we get flooding Erick sometimes people die. Your side is the ones saying 500 year storms are not the result of global warming and there is nothing to see here.
Should the President waste valuable air time commenting on the weather? Fox News won’t even carry Obama’s full debate with the House Republicans would CNN carry Obama if he commented on every weather related death?
Obama declared a federal disaster in Nashville, the mayor of that city told me so on AC360 last night. Laura Bush made it very clear that presidential visits too early only muck up the rescue and recovery efforts, in her recent book “Valium I Have Known” with special follow-eyes hologram cover.
OT nitpick — Isn’t it “seated” rather than “seeded”?
CNN’s decent into irrelevancy accelerates every minute this dweeb remians on the payroll.
BT – just a slight title correction suggestion: “Deep-Seated” :-)
After getting a National Day of Prayer they’ll want a National Hour of Prayer, at least twice a day. Just like in Arabia.
I thought she was our first pot head first Lady? :)
So Erick are Census Workers not people too? If any should be shot I hope Obama mentions their names and YOURS in his next speech.
I remember doing the census last time. I went to one guys house he was home during daylight hours I opened the wire latch gate Iwalked over one of those collapsing baby fences.
The small guy went nuts didn’t I see the no trespassing sign?. Sir I’m with the Census.
Didn’t you see the guard dog sign? I just looked down at the attack poodle yapping at me and said nothing.
The Guy kept talking about his rights and I said look if I don’t get your information someone else will come.
I got his information.
Why I wasn’t leaving no matter how much he yelled and if he had pulled a gun I would have called the sheriff.
Erick your tough guy plan only works if you use the gun and bury the body. Why Census people deal with twerps like you everyday.
Try getting Census information in Public Housing those threats are a little more convincing. Impotent suburban anger junkies not so much.
I do not think she discriminates.
Didn’t Erick say he would use his wife’s shotgun on the Census worker who came onto his property? That strikes me as girly-mannish, as our Governator would say. What is wrong with Erick’s own shotgun? Surely he has one, I’d be shocked if not.
ya mean to tell me Erik didn’t lecture the good people of Tennessee about their shiftlessness, ability to evacuate, or rail about unused school buses, “just sitting there” ?!?!?
wow, knock me over with a feather :D
LOL I am so stealin’ that.
I know this was aimed at Bernie Goldberg, but I suspect that it applies equally as well to Erick Erickson (kudos to John Stewart)…

His sole purpose in life is to act like an idiot and incite others to do the same. What a worthless sack of shit.
Hey, if we are going to start stripping people of their citizenship, lets start with Erick Erickson, Joe Lieberman and work our way through Faux News.
Erick son of Erick’s sole job is to be a corporate whore providing distractions for the masses. In many ways, he’s doing a great job. Paying attention to Erick son of Erick will result in your brain imploding at some point, which is another goal of our corporate overlords. Imploded brains = no questions about their motives, etc.
Meh.
Here’s a black man’s perspective on race in America:Having recently reached 74 years of age, if one were to ask me what’s my greatest disappointment in life, a top contender would surely be the level of misunderstanding, perhaps contempt, that black Americans have for the principles of personal liberty and their abiding faith in government. Contempt or misunderstanding of the principles of personal liberty and faith in government by no means make blacks unique among Americans, but the unique history of black Americans should make us, above all other Americans, most suspicious of any encroachment on personal liberty and most distrustful of government. Let’s look at it.
The most serious injustices suffered by blacks came at the hands of government, at different levels, failure to protect personal liberty. Slavery was only the most egregious example of that failure. Congress and the courts supported the injustice of slavery through the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act and the Dred Scott decision. After emancipation, there were government-enforced Jim Crow laws denying blacks basic liberties and court decisions such as Plessy v. Ferguson that reinforced and gave sanction to private acts that abridged black people’s liberties. … [Edited by Moderator]
I hope it’s misunderstanding, rather than contempt, that explains black hostility toward the principles of liberty.

The National Day of Prayer is a Truman program. Just thought you should be aware of this fact.
Ok.
Why? Have they done something treasonous?
Not sure if you are kidding with your response?? In any case, I was being sassy in regards to Lieberman’s most recent legislation regarding citizenship. :) I figure if we are going to pass a law like that, then those folks would be a good place to start! LOL
Well, Obama was a member of the racist TUCC group for over 20 years, and has clearly shown a disdain for certain whites…especially white women. His books and words reflect such.
Anyway, Erick bailed to CNN, and now I read that Moe Lane works for the Washington Post – The Washington Post’s Moe Lane..?!?
