It took 4 days for FEMA to get into South Florida after Hurricane Andrew.

This article puts to bed the lie being perpetrated by the race baiters in the press today that the New Orleans victims weren't being helped in a timely manner because they are black.

You might want to make sure this makes your archive list.

This is exactly what cost Bush 41 the 1992 victory.

On the other hand, the "culture thang" that resulted in rescue workers being shot at definitely resulted in whatever aid was available at the time not being delivered in a timely manner.

I remember, oh so well, how much flack Bush 41 took for how long it took to get help into South Florida after Andrew. After all was said and done it turned out the delay had been because the then-Governor (Democrat) had not ask for help right away and FEMA was precluded from doing anything until requested by the locals.
