I'm not made of money either and I have one TV. I guess some people will take televisions over food. It still doesn't justify stealin.' But libs still make excuses for criminals. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Can't decide if they are evil or just morons.

Never mind that this has been predicted for New Orleans since Moby Dick was a minnow.

I almost hit the abuse button but realized it's the black caucus and this crap is to be expected. This actually comes under the heading of a "dog bites man" type story in that it's a completely predictable common occurrence and not news. However, I think dog bites man is an apt analogy in this instance.

Now isn't that the coffee calling the kettle black. The President got back to Washington 3 days after and the Congress got back 4 days after but emergency funding was needed on day 1.

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

A bunch of bastardly political pandering. Shameful in the extreme, but not unexpected form the likes of these people who prey on the dependence of their own people.

As regards the Nat Guard troops and security, the Governor of the state of Louisiana always had the power to deploy the LA guard in the fashion that other state troops are being deployed today. It is her failure to do so that has prompted the President to get the help from other states.

As regards New Orleans and the Superdome, the Mayor of New Orleans, who ordered all those people into the superdome (and he only did that IMHO after he and the Governor were leaned on by the Bush administration) had the power to bus them out of the city at the same time. The City of New Orleans moves many more children each day on school buses than were in the dome. Those buses were available and slated to be used for school the next day. He could easily have evacuted those people...but did not.

When oredering a mandatory evacuation you use what resources you have to move the people...he did not. If it was important and dangerous enough to order all citizens to leave, it was dangerous enough to help those people to leave. Yet, they did not. After they failed to do so...the busses ended up under water and useless.

In the end, it was FEMA, after the local and state government's failure that had to get the job done...but now under much, much worse and dangerous circumstances.

No, it is not Bush's fault or the fed's fault. We must place blame squarely where it lies at the feet of the local and state executives in Louisiana who had neither the desire or the will to make those calls, irrespective of their political stripe.

Agreed- beyond disgusting. Did you notice how the Black Caucus spoke to 'Christian conservatives' to do something? He quoted the Bible to the President- and will not be criticized for the biblical remarks since he's a black liberal. I am tiring of the blame on the government and subtly on the rest of us for this 'mess' in New Orleans. I hope the President and his team respond at the appropriate time with both fists. And I've been waiting for black leaders to speak to the lawlessness in NO which has made this situation ten times worse and has cost innocent lives. The Black Caucus stood there looking like a bunch of idiots and NOT ONCE did they speak to 'their' people to remain lawful and civil.

I only have one TV and it ain't even a plasma screen

LOL!

You know, I was upset about the slow response but now this despicable racemongering is really making me mad. WHY do they always have to make it about race?

Was this an example of uniting rather than dividing?

Playing the race card might blow up in their face this time.

"Those citizens have paid taxes!"

This is like Maxine Waters in Los Angeles and the Rodney Kink trial all over again. These idiots are going to spark another race riot.

I guess they're group-thinking the victims as blacks. This is their M.O. If that is so then the looters, rapists and snipers are also group-thought as black.
