Congressional Black Caucus Blaming Bush
Fox News TV | 9/2/2005 | vanity

Posted on 09/02/2005 7:45:53 AM PDT by GoBucks2002

The Congressional Black Caucus press conference is exploding in indignation at the President's lack of response. First, Elijiah Cummings blasted him. Now it is Jesse Jackson Jr's turn.

Watching these race pimps and professional victums on C-SPAN is utterly disgusting. Hard to watch...

Has any person in the media or in the political arena asked how "adequate" the response would have been without the widespread violence toward those trying to help.

The politicians smell power and believe this is the end of Bush. If the sitting President of the United States is removed over this, the country will never recover.

I refuse to watch this bullsh*t and con artist, they never offer up one damn solution to anything and are a major embrassment to Black Americans.

BUMP to that.

Their "solutions" continue to fail, and make things worse, but they keep recycling the same old tired "solutions."

"If this had been an election they would have had the damn buses out there rolling to pick up the poor and get them to the polls."

Yep, whether they were registered or not! Here's a couple of questions I would like someone in the local government to answer:

1.) Why didn't you use the 1,000+ school and muni busses sitting there to load your citizens up on the weekend before the storm hit and evacuate them? You would have saved thousands of lives, and you would have also saved all your school busses and municipal busses. But now it's the FEDERAL government's responsibility?

2.) When you took all those busloads of people to Houston, did you fill those busses up with food and water to bring back? Why not?

Is this the new criteria for poor in America? Only having one television set?

I've got six TV sets in my house, if I didn't have any I don't think it would even bother me. The only one I ever turn on is a little 17 inch one by my computer and I either watch Fox News or stick a DVD in to watch. When is the left going to wake up to the fact that "poverty" in the United States would be considered wealthy to more than three-quarters of the people in the world?

Just waiting for Shelia Jackson Lee to point out that the hurricane even had a white name'

Katrina sounds Russian (Caucasian) to me.

Are you going to believe Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton or are you going to believe your lying eyes? They are asking us to believe what is there for all to see. Willful dillusion will not fix a damn thing. We must see the problem to address and fix it.

Again

"They"

A twist on Bond's statement, "the black people who are happy to be in the big house, indifferent to the suffering of the masses".

Anybody who still believes there is a "peaceful" resolution to our problems IMO just doesn't understand the dynamics of the real conflict we are fighting. I hope it can be done politically but I just don't see how. If we are to fight it peacefully we need to stop the fear of harshly criticizing the identity groups that are the useful idiots to the real revolution.

The MSM, Black leaders, and liberals never fail to point out that the overwhelming color of the victims in NO are Black. Yet, these same people are strangely silent as to the overwhelming White color of those doing all that is humanly possible to rescue those Black victims.

This is a shock to me! I would have never guessed that the Black Caucus would have a complaint.

What, exactly is a Black Caucus? Is there a Brown Caucus too? How about a Scandinavian Caucus? Actually, I'm part of the WASP Vast Right Wing Caucus... at least I think I am. I don't know where the meetings are caucussed though. *rolling eyes*

I listened for a few minutes until JJ Jr came on. A real disgusting moment was when Rep. Cummings called Preisdent Bush his "Christian brother" when started quoting Scripture "illuminating" President Bush lack of caring....truly shameful

Now it is Jesse Jackson Jr's turn.

These people know that the mayor of NO is an idiot. If they tell enough lies and the network news spread those lies, they are hoping that no body will find out what a bunch of ignorant and worthless crap they all are. They know nothing about governing a country or a city, all they know is how to steal from taxpayers. I'm sick of them.

I especially liked his statement about how who lives and who dies is coming down to the color of their skin.""

Let's be truthful here- What is the color of the skin of 99% of the looters seen on TV?

What is the color of skin of the looters who took the guns and ammo out of the Wal-Mart store?

What is the color of skin of the snipers/shooters who are threatening the hospitals and the people TRYING to help them?

Looked quite dark to me. Maybe I shouldn't have a color TV???

A little hard truth needs to be stated on the TV.
A black mayor- who has fled the city to Baton Rouge- I don't know how far away that is, who is afraid of his own black constituents and won't go back to NO. Has surrounded himself with bodyguards. FOR GOOD REASON, I think.

Reporters interviewing people pleading for help- but the guy being interviewed has managed to find a quart of liqour and is openly waving THAT on camera. I'm sure if I was in dire straights the most important thing I would be carrying is liqour----NOT!!!!!

I predict there will be more rioting and damage. If I were there, I would desire to help, but no way would I try to help someone who was shooting at me. Pilots who won't fly into that kind of danger while trying to lift people off roofs- I cannot place ANY BLAME on them for their desire to stay alive.

The police force of NO has not showed up for work today- more than 50% according to my TV.

Governor of Louisiana should have declared matrial law at the very beginning and she should have asked for help thru the chain of command earlier. Same for the mayor.

Unless I have it wrong, the FEDS COULD NOT just come in until they gov and mayor asked for help. Bush is in a no win position in the whole thing.

Perhaps they'd like to discuss the poverty, illegitimacy, unemployment, crime, illiteracy and dysfunction that have plagued New Orleans blacks for decades......UNDER BLACK, DEMOCRAT, CITY ADMINISTRATIONS.
