Obama on the "Louisiana Purchase" for Health Care
 

"I think the same is true on all of these provisions. I'll give you some exceptions though. Something that was called a special deal was for Louisiana. It was said that there were billions — millions of dollars going to Louisiana, this was a special deal".

"I'm giving you an example of one that I consider important. It also affects Hawaii, which went through an earthquake. So that's not just a Louisiana provision. That is a provision that affects every state that is going through a natural catastrophe".

What earthquake in Hawaii? In 1868 there was a major earthquake in Hawaii that killed 77 people. In 1975 an earthquake in Hawaii killed 2 people.

Wow...That's a reach. How many here actually believe he was being genuine with this as an example. Sounds desperate to me.

The 6.7 magnitude quake that occurred on October 15, 2006. Bush declared a federal disaster for the State of Hawaii following the quake.

Oops...Such big news I forgot. Looking back I did not see any fatalities and wiki has the total damage set at 200 million dollars.

Congress farts away 200 million dollars every morning before my coffee. Yeah...Great provision to buy one vote.
