Speaking in New Orleans about Hurricane Katrina, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) tried to contrast himself with President Bush’s delayed response to Katrina, saying, “I would’ve landed my airplane at the nearest Air Force base and come over personally.” But as Newsweek notes, on Aug. 29, 2005, when Katrina had just hit New Orleans, McCain was posing with President Bush for his 69th birthday:
It was Aug. 29, McCain’s 69th birthday, and on the tarmac, Bush presented his old political rival with a cake. The two posed, holding the cake up for cameras, and within seconds, went their separate ways. The cake, melting in the 110-degree Arizona heat, was left behind, uneaten.
McSame flip flops and throws Bush under the bus:
Man with Bush, cake as NOLA flooded: Would have gone 'personally.

Now what's so funny about this story is both McCain/Bush were on TV with the cake and a reporter asked both of them about the current story on the news about the Katrina Storm. Now Oprah did a good job at covering for Bush as she reported he didn't know. What Oprah didn't know is Bush was out here in California doing a fund raising and he knew about the problems. It was continued news on every station and the reporters asked him on TV. As for McCain he already said he doesn't know many black people since he lives in Arizona. He sure is looking for Blacks now for their vote.
