President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.
President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. Citing the Bush Administration's "unconscionable ineptitude" in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of low-income hurricane victims. Obama visited thousands of Hurricane survivors in the Houston Convention Center and later took three more trips to the region. He worked with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to introduce legislation to address the immediate income, employment, business, and housing needs of Gulf Coast communities.
President Barack Obama will partner with the people of the Gulf Coast to rebuild now, stronger than ever.
Let’s see him do it.
Cheapshot - yeah. Get used to it. His pompousness will be his undoing.
Class always shows.
Exactly. It’s all going to bite him the butt. I can’t wait.
Step 1 of reparations.
Where’s Brownie when you need him.
Barry will ensure that newly constructed houses will be made from the finest pieces of strylofoam and each resident of New Orleans given a monthly check to buy the necessities such as an inflatable raft and scuba-diving gear.
He's doing talk radio here in Denver on Saturday. If they need him, just give him a call:
KOA has a powerful signal. I get it clear as a bell most nights.
It does have a strong signal. We got it in Moab, UT one night and I know you can pick it up some in Northern NM and Southern CO. I’ve heard callers from NE and TX. Where are you located?
Hmmm...this sounds suspiciously like something from the Onion. Obama couldn’t possibly be this pompous, or could he?
Still the most OVERRATED disaster in American history.
Only Naggin and Blanko could have done their jobs and
prevented some of the drowning deaths.
Someone tell me what the US government could have done
to prevent the hurricane and the flood.
I guess we can expect Obama to federalize all emergency services in the USA.
That’s a tightly guarded secret. Actually, I’m about 3 states due NE of Colorado.
Hmmmm? (Scratching my chin)
Barrack the Pompous
He apparently has no idea what he's sacrificing - something that transcends mere money and politics.
Agreed. When I saw the new whitehouse.gov site, I was shocked. Unpleasantly shocked. It looked as if everything from a campaign site had been unloaded onto a government Web site. It polluted it. That sort of aggressive talk and bias doesn't belong on a Web site that's supposed to be meant for education and outreach.
