Media Matters For America Illustrates A Tired Trend

I should have picked up on this little nugget, but for whatever the reason I did not.

Media Matters for America noticed a hysterical trend on the part of trying to portray everything that has happened even remotely bad as "Obama's Katrina." MMA has pointed out eight different times that far-right conservative media have tried to portray the latest thing bad as "Obama's Katrina" once again.

Here is the list:

• The gulf oil spill
• The H1N1 flu outbreak
• The Fort Hood shooting tragedy
• The Kentucky ice storms (I had not heard this one linked to President Obama)
• Haiti earthquake
• GM bankruptcy
• Christmas Day underwear bomber
• Housing policies in Chicago (I had not really heard this one linked to the president either)
