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.
What else have they got?
I wonder how much they've donated?
Congress, your services are no longer needed. Go back on vacation.
Don't fool yourself that day is closer than you think.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
I'd like to know where she's getting this information that Wal-Mart isn't honoring FEMA vouchers.
Yes, the initial chaos is due to the poor planning by the city of New Orleans. The race card will ignite this even more, sad but true. If the mayor was on the ball, he would have had buses ready on Sunday to evacuate the housing projects. (they get them to the polls to vote don't they?)
The gubment buy my food, they raise my kids and buy my gas.
Why can't the gubment come down here and save my dependent ass?
Who's this dingbat going on about "cruise ships?" She sounds retarded.
According to Jesse Jackson last night, these stories are not true and have been blown out of proportion.Of course he would know this because he is down there with the EMS,National Guard,N.O. cops,and his fellow brothers and sisters trying to save lives and control the chaos in the last 5 days......oh...wait...sorry...nevermind.
My question is when JJ arrives today after half of the people have been bused out of town and the safety of the city becomes under more and more control...which hotel is he going to stay at and how many cameras is he going to have with him?
Inquiring minds want to know? Or will he be the false camera hog that he is and come in for a few hours,do a hit and run on Bush and give his N.O. Mayor a free pass and the La.Gov. a free pass since they share the (D)= for Disaster, next to his name?
I have none...I stopped watching television a long time ago. Does that make me poor then, in the eyes of the Congressional Black Caucus?
They can always rename it "Hurricane Carter". Then that witch will feel better..
They can't face the truth, which is that they themselves are the people most responsible for the despicable situation which has been allowed to form over the past 40 years.
I only have one and it is not watched much. They want their constituents to have more than one so they are inubdated with their message in every room they go to in their 2 room houses.
Pres Bush needs to call them on this and tell them to stop their damn b*tching and do something. "Not impressed with FEMA" well excuse me, but are you(congress) not the ones who fund and control FEMA! Do something about it! No, they waited for three days to come back to DC and then not until 1pm today to see what happens so they could blame Bush. This is SICK! Bush needs to tell ppl to go down to NO and do something instead of running their @#$@#$@ racists mouths!
What a bunch of disgraceful human beings who only know how to gripe and take political advantage of a desperate situation. The speaker for the black caucus is not much better than some of the snipers in New Orleans taking shots at rescue persons. I'm furious that this racist group uses its supposed superior moral vision in such a despicable way.
Why is there even a Congressional "Black" Caucus?" I mean the 60s are over now, blacks are now equal and are afforded full civil rights. Imagine the outrage if there was a White Caucus.
One of the first rules of dirty politics is that if you know that you or your friends are to blame for something (like the black democrats in Congress know that the black democrats running Louisiana and New Orleans are to blame) you immediately blame your opposition. It muddies the waters and blunts the blame when it does come around to point in your direction. This is typical leftist democrat tactics.
I would like to see how the CBC would react to treating the marauders like they deserve....hang them from lamposts
However...it should not take this long to get food or order to a disaster area.....in the USA....and I realize NOLA is a worst case example...for many reasons....one would hope.
whoever's fault that is....I hope they get on it
Nagin and CryLady have been AWOL
*see what we were just talking about DC2000
If this had hit a predominately white area, we wouldn't be hearing a word from them or any kind offers of help either. And no Jesse Jackson trying to bus them out.
