If he doesn't resign after this has settled down, he should be fired by the City Council.

If he's not hanged by the remains of an irate populace.

Jesse Jackson, jr .............What a nut case. Did he just excuse the looting?

This kind of stuff is exactly why the President should NOT waste time trying to respond to these attacks. We all know what they are going to say, and if you give them enough time they will eventually make fools of themselves. The majority of the American people don't buy this crap from the left. Let the children play in front of the camera and stay out of the way of the adults who are going to actually get the job done.

I'm not talking about the people trapped in the city.

I'm talking about the thousands standing on the road. Like a bus stop. I am ignorant of relief procedures. I thought a road would be a good way to deliver supplies.

Thanks so much. So they coordinate, but I still don't think that means that the armed forces (except the NG) can enforce the laws without the Insurrection Act.

Alot of childish hysterics on this thread.

We're not on the frontlines of this thing.

The good news is that Stephanie Tubbs Jones is speaking only on C-SPAN, to a very small audience.

The Black Caucus has zero credibility, even among Democrats, so their attempt to politicize this tragedy will go straight into the dumper.

>>>>Somewhere in his rant he stated that they have taken control away from him, and it is no wonder why.

Press release 674 showing where and when control was taken away from him.

"No "maybe" about it. It IS very much against our law."

Enough intelligent posts have appeared here so as to raise a question on this.

what's scary is that President Bush now has to fight two wars AND RUN THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS!

Because the democrats that run the city/state are inept and corrupt to the bone.

My prayers are with him.

Good point! Talk about micro-management gone haywire.

And ya know what, the President needs our prayers, now. Big time. I stand with you on that one.

When a Cat*5 Hurricane is aimed straight at you for nearly three days what does a person do?

It became a Cat 5 storm about 40 hours before making landfall.

So maybe he's failed to understand the scope too.

No one could be happy with the relief efforts! Thousands are dead and maybe hundreds more will die! Does that mean that they could do better? Maybe, but I doubt it!

The scope is unprecendented. I live in Charlie's wake in Port Charlotte, but this storm makes Charlie's rampages a pinic! There are still hundreds of blue roofs (plastic sheets) that FEMA/Fireworkers put up over a year ago. Several hundred houses are completely gutted and in disrepair.

What I am trying to make you understand is that they are currently doing the impossible, with little or nothing (including no communications)! If you walked through the 1000s of miles of destroyed structures you would realize that recovery will never be fast enough. Anything that is stressed to breaking will break, you fix what you can move on. Unfortunately, this process is going to happen over and over again.

People that mock the relief efforts are cowards with the only enough conviction to mouth off. There are thousands of people making great sacrifices and risking their lives to help these victims. Meanwhile, the Media, Pols, Movie Stars, are hiding in the background spouting utter nonsense. I find this irresponsible behavior worse then the looters.

Nagin has no problem getting the buses out on election day, moving thousands of frail, elderly, and sick people to the polls. And, providing a box lunch as a bonus.

And he can't run the same routes when people's lives are at stake?

He's on his way to tour ALL the disaster sites. What's your flipping problem?? You read like a broken record! He MUST be on the ground at the convention center, he MUST be on the ground at the convention center, he MUST be on the ground at the convention center....
