I assume the president's going to say he got bad intelligence... I think that wherever you see poverty, whether it's in the white rural community or the black urban community, you see that the resources have been sucked up into the war and tax cuts for the rich." -- Congressman Charles B. Rangel
"Many black people feel that their race, their property conditions and their voting patterns have been a factor in the response....I'm not saying that myself, but what's self-evident is that you have many poor people without a way out." -- Rev. Jesse Jackson
"In New Orleans, the disaster's impact underscores the intersection of race and class in a city where fully two-thirds of its residents are black and more than a quarter of the city lives in poverty. In the Lower Ninth Ward neighborhood, which was inundated by the floodwaters, more than 98 percent of the residents are black and more than a third live in poverty."
-- David Gonzalez, NY Times
"We've got to get a handle on the situation."
-- George W. Bush
Actually Michael, I put the blame on incompetent Democratic office holders - you know, your buddies?
For once I agree 100% with Jesse Jackson! If you're poor and black, it's not your fault and you need to vote Democrat for more Big Government dole. They got what they voted for, yes indeed.
Oh, we knew that JABBA-THE-HUT would crawl out from his slimey swamp and gag the world on this....
Where were the Louisiana state officials? They run the state. Why didn't they call for evac of NO knowing that a hurricane 4 was descending upon the city but the city couldn't take more than a 3? But the liberal leftist media and the whores of the demoncRATS don't see that.
(LOL!)
If a Chinook could get him off the ground, I'll bet Mikey could plug that levee.
How many lives have these jackasses saved? Where are they?????
And while I am discussing useless dead societal weight, how big of a levee hole could Charlie Rangel, Ted Kennedy, and Michael Moore plug????
"When I had no clothes, you clothed me. When I was thirsty, you gave me water, When I was hungry, you fed me. When I needed to loot bling-bling, you tried to save me, and I shot at you." -Then you retreated, and Charlie Rangel blamed BUSH!.
All I need to know is what political party the Mayor of N'alins & the Governor of Louisiana is?
anyone?....anyone???
starts with a "D"...
anyone? LOL
*...I'll bet Mikey could plug that levee...*
HA! Got me by 8 seconds ;)
They left out one quote:
"I can't tell my rectum from a whole in the ground." -- Mayor Ray "Mookie" Nagin
Obviously he can't tell "whole" from "hole" either.
The state of LA and the city of NO sat on their hands. Bush gave the evac orders that should have come from the state officials, yet the "leadership" in charge still sat on their hands. Once the path of the storm was known, these buses should have been used to evac those who couldn't as well as those who didn't want to go. Micheal Moor-ons should get a clue.
This will be the standard reply I give to all posts when the subject is to blame Bush for all:
The nanny state/welfare mentality - it's always someone else's job. What part of MANDITORY EVACUATION do these fools in the media not get? The people on the coast were warned, told to leave, and chose to stick it out thereby endangered themselves and their families. That would be considered neglect when parents put their children in danger.
The Governor and Mayor's extreme ineptitude is what the bozos in the lame-steam media should be focused on. It was their job to prepare their constituents, NOT the federal government. There was ample time to prepare, and most responsible adults took to the road for safety. Yet all that was offered on the state level was another poor evacuation plan from the dimwit dimocrats. Either using "one way out" stuck in traffic or holing up in the dome, what choices!
Before the storm, they could have used all the school & city busses to evacuate those who couldn't make it on their own to higher ground further inland. But they chose weakness in the face of real danger instead.
After the storm, all resources were put at their disposal, yet they delayed making the request as well as delayed the delivery when aid arrived. Martial Law was declared and yet they still sat on thier hands allowing lawlessness to erupt. Neither can handle their jobs, yet refuse to step aside and allow someone else to handle it.
If President Bush hadn't announced the evacuation order, there would be more loss and suffering, mainly due to the clueless Democrats who failed to do anything - who, by the way, have been in charge of that state long before Bush ran for office.
When you have your hand extended, you shouldn't b!tch about getting aid when you were told to prepare for 3-5 days of food and water. When it comes to your family's safety, waiting on government to solve your problems is no better than waiting on a welfare check instead of getting off your arse and finding work.
But I guess wading around in sewage and griping about it is a much more pleasing alternative if you always pull the "D" lever when it's time to elect leadership. The failure of a democrat-led state is why the media is out in force trying to point fingers at Bush, when they all know the reality of the situation...their own failures cause many more to die than would have if they hadn't been slow to react.
That is the most Beeeeutimus Michael Moore site *ever* ;>
Imagine Moore's laundry hamper. THAT is nastier, by far.
What do you expect in a state and city run by Democrats?
As usual, General Michael Moore (on) and his Sing-Along Gang know more than anybody else.
None of those idiots realize just how long it takes to get something the size of an army division on the road and rolling. I have been involved in the planning and execution of military deployments all the way from platoon size to division. It is not easy.
BTW, somebody tell the Rev-rund Jackson and others that the rescue would have gone a lot faster if their homies hadn't been shooting at the rescuers.
That useless sack of . . . shazam, gotta get back to work, dang!
"Many black people feel that their race, their property conditions and their voting patterns have been a factor in the response....I'm not saying that myself, but what's self-evident is that you have many poor people without a way out." -- Rev. Jesse Jackson
Yeah Jesse, they voted for a Democrat for Mayor and a Democrat for Governor and got two incompetents. The only Black people I've heard voicing any anger are blaming Mayor Nagin. The black people you're talking about must be your friends back in Washington.
