Reporting from his -- up somewhere map on planet.
Cal Perry -- she is sheriff John.
It's always a pleasure being put on speaks English -- supposed.
So I'm not sure about that at all but thank you anyway up.
That this is didn't I read this today and I -- my instant reaction was really lead that headline of this this article that I have in front of me.
Is President Obama -- a racist for not doing enough to help -- -- sandy.
Victims how do we get to that question.
Well John and I was thinking this morning about the reaction on -- from the mainstream media and -- Democratic Party two Katrina.
You'll recall that they were highly critical of President Bush.
There were even some commentators who claim that it was racist that he wasn't doing enough.
To help the people of New Orleans especially because at the time a majority of the citizens there were African American.
Switch to hurricanes can be a little more than a week ago which of course is new York and New Jersey issues so well now.
And on this town hall meeting a few days ago which fox so wound up interviewing one of the major attend -- there who it was accusing the FEMA officials of this town hall meeting.
I'm not doing another breaking their -- this was the same guy who confronted President Obama when he toured the area with a New Jersey governor Chris Christie.
And the president he's had promised he would cut the red tape and good -- wound up calling the president a liar to his face.
Now -- my view is that if you're going to call George W.
Bush a racist for not helping them mostly African American people of New Orleans after Katrina.
Could Obama be called -- racist for not helping be mostly white people of Staten Island it's ridiculous comparison but that's the doubles -- The media as well but didn't cal isn't -- -- the the FEMA response in Katrina and the government response was generally considered.
Pretty -- all full.
The their response -- insanity has been largely praised you know governor governor Chris Christie of New Jersey for instance and a lot of flak from the Republican side gradually take what the truth is the president's done a great job.
What I gather here -- guess what happened first of all that the federal government couldn't -- again until they were invited President Bush made that point.
You had a good time a democratic governor of new wallet a democratic mayor of New Orleans at a democratic governor of Louisiana.
Opted in that new York and New Jersey you have all democratic politicians -- New York of course with the exception of one on Staten islanders -- Republican the last I checked.
And then of course the governor of New Jersey is a Republican I'm not talking about you know the difficulty of rebuilding I'm talking about the hypocrisy of the media.
If if they're Bennett -- Republican of a wideout you and I both know that he or she would have been accused of insensitivity and incompetence.
This guy -- was in the town hall -- -- he's still living in his car with his wife.
And the children or elsewhere -- this would clearly be blamed on President Bush if he were president or any other Republican that's the way they play the game.
All right I I have to move you long -- on the -- -- -- bigger news of the day.
Which is the announcement that William K to having a baby I know I know the you've been praying a lot about this and hoping for -- I'd like to get your action to this -- breaking news.
You know I got to tell you that it -- -- that I'm not really a news seven a baby and celebrity stuff and everything else but these two.
Are such a breath of fresh.
They just seem to be in two of the most decent people you could ever see after all the -- -- Charles and Diana and that it.
