ABC News Coverage of President Bush's speech

Coverage of Presidential Speech | ABC New

After President Bush's speech an ABC new correspondant interviewed a few of those that are displaced by the hurricane.

It was a priceless moment. A middle age Black woman was asked if she was angry at President Bush because of the slow response of the federal goverment. She hit the nail on the head with her reply. She stated that she was not angry at Bush, but that she was angry at Nagin and Blaco for their lack of response. She also wanted to know why they didn't use the school buses to evacuate the city.

The correspondant then tried again with an older black women to see if he could get the "proper" response. No such luck, she stated that she beleives the President and had faith in his program.

Something tells me Rush will be mentioning this for sure tomorrow.

The truth shall be known and the truth shall set even the liberal media propagandist complex free. Tell the truth and shame the devil!

I saw that, and in amazement was surprised that it went on through the ABC censors.

I saw the attempted solicitation on ABC after the President's speech. Because of the past history of the MSM outlets biased coverage I was about to tell the wife to turn it off, we know what is coming with the interviews.

But then the most amazing thing happened: All of those souls told it like it was!

They, who saw it up close and personal, told the truth. One lady said she didn't believe the hurricane was going to be that bad TOOK RESPONSIBILITY for her own foolishness. Another laid the blame on the state and local authorities not once, BUT TWICE in the same interview!

Rush, if you don't open up with this audio on Friday's show, I'll be shocked.

I think he asked another black woman who she blamed. She said new orleans wasn't affected much by the hurricane, it was devastated when floodgates were opened. She then said the city was suppose to use money to fix the levee's and they didn't do it. She blamed the mayor.

I wonder if he bothered to check to see what kind of response that he was going to get from these individuals. Me thinks that either he didn't bother or they responded the "proper" way prior to going on the air. I would have loved it if they conned him, knowing that he wouldn't have put them on the air if he had known what they were really going to say.

I don't care what anyone says. President Bush gave a great speech. The people on the street know that. The educated dummies in the lame stream media have their head to far up their orifices to realize that.

It was absolutely beautiful. The ABC reporter kept trying to get them to say something bad about the president and every single one of them praised Bush! ABC thought they had the perfect set up...poor, black, displaced refugees of the hurricane who would lambaste the president...and it backfired! These people were great and full of common sense.

I posted this on another thread earlier this evening but thought it would be enjoyed by those reading this one:

Have had the Weather Channel on since getting home a little while ago hoping to hear news of how southeastern NC fared in the hurricane but everyone is reporting from farther up the coast.

However, I just hear a report that tickled me greatly.

..... A reporter from ABC news was being interviewed (I guess from a local station and not the network but I don't know for sure ... since I never watch that network I wouldn't recognize their reporters). He was standing in front of a badly-damaged building at Atlantic Beach and said that the citizens weren't waiting on federal help but had started today to repair the damage to their property on their own. *ZING*

..... Then he said that he was amazed to see that people in the area (which apparently suffered the most from Ophelia) were still taking up collections today for the victims of Katrina in spite of their own losses. *ZING* *ZING*

Made me right proud of my state!!!

DAMN I missed it! Anyone have the capability to post mpeg or something from webcast or something? You know THAT'LL never be seen again.

[Wneighbor]

I loved this! I was so proud to hear those folks talk and elude that garbage the correspondent was trying to shove down their throats!

[GrandmaC]

I am sure both Hannity and Rush will play excerpts of this. It was wonderful. I wish we could find a transcript.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

How come this was moved to personal and bloggers? This is a discussion of the follow-up of the President's speech.

[infidel29]

I'll transcript it myself if I can get a chance to see or even record it!

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

I would love to have a copy of that transcript. Perhaps the only one I would like to have from ABC News.
