"Since I updated this site on 9-1, all that is heard on the MSM is widespread criticism of the Government's response to Katrina. And rightly so. Here it is six days after the disaster struck and finally federal troops and aid are arriving. There's no reason that food and supplies couldn't have been dropped from the air within 2 days. We did it after the Tsunami. The fact is, the lack of response is criminal. But we already knew this administration is full of criminals. It's one thing that they steal our money, it's quite another when their inaction costs Americans their lives. Get used to it folks- Bush doesn't care. I hope all of you that voted for him are very proud of yourselves right about now." "More than ever Bush is showing his true colors, or color. That color is yellow. But hey, it's mostly just poor black people that are dying. This will get 'em off of welfare right? I can't help but think the response would have been a different thing had the victims been middle or upper-class white folks. Some say it's not about race, but the facts and actions speak for themselves. "Six days later and people are STILL trapped at the Superdome. When CNN's Soleda O'Brien interviewed FEMA head Mike Brown on Thursday, he admitted that FEMA didn't know that some 15,000 people were at the New Orleans Convention Center until he saw it on CNN. WTF? He didn't know? What's his job title again? "Hopefully, finally, Bush and the government agencies responsible have pulled their collective heads out of their collective a$ses and relief is finally arriving. Keep in mind that the $10.5B approved for relief yesterday is ONE-TWENTIETH of the $200B spent in Iraq since March of 2003. It's called priorities. "This is a heads-up to all Americans. Should disaster strike again, we're on our own. In spite of all the tax dollars that come out of every paycheck, despite the six and seven figure salaries that these agency heads receive- we're on our own. Some say we shouldn't rely on the Government to help us. Katrina has shown us that indeed, we can't count on the Government to do anything for us despite their assurances and promises. "United States of Shame Michael Brown, the blithering idiot in charge of FEMA - a job he trained for by running something called the International Arabian Horse Association - admitted he didn't know until Thursday that there were 15,000 desperate, dehydrated, hungry, angry, dying victims of Katrina in the New Orleans Convention Center.Was he sacked instantly? No, our tone-deaf president hailed him in Mobile, Ala., yesterday: "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." I agree- one heck of a poor job: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/03/opinion/03dowd.html?incamp=article_popular "National Guard not allowing aid into the city Bush is afraid photographs of piled up dead bodies similar to those that followed the tsunami may get out and trigger a revolt.
