I hate to suggest it, but I wouldn't put it past the Democrats and the race baiters to hope for black suffering as ammunition to use against Bush.

Maybe that was their plan all along before , during, and after the hurricane.
How can we, the NEW MEDIA get this truth out to the American public, that President Bush told them ( mayor of N.O. and the Gov of LA ) to evacuate days before the hurricane hit ? and the incompetence belongs on the backs of the liberals, the mayor of N.O. and the Gov of LA.

For the last forty years or so, it seems that blacks are the most important Americans. If you upset them, offend them, look at them the wrong way, they can extract all kinds of monies from your city or state or business. Now if Bush does ANYTHING that can be taken as offensive then they can destroy him politically.

I won't be so cynical as to second your concern...

But the bast#rds are sure using using the suffering of Americans to undermine Bush and the entire federal relief efforts by screaming that everyone drop what they're doing and rush that other stuff over there, where it may or maybe not, be needed.

From the state level down to the locals, I have never seen such a cluster-f#ck of almost biblical proportions.

Except in Mississippi. Haley Barbour seems to have a firm grasp of the situation and has his forces proceeding in an orderly recovery-mode fashion.

Kudos to Governor Harbour and the Mississippians!
