I agree with that. But I did wish when the Pres came out on Wed?Thu?Fri? that he would have been less congratulatory of the relief effort. The congratulations and praise was out of rig with news reports of loss of civil order in NOLA. His tone on Saturday was appropriate, but he could have reasonably taken that tone earlier.
I hope that he has the HONORE of meeting the General soon. ;)
At least LI is above sea level...a little bit.
Can you imagine the Throg's Neck Bridge during an emergency? Good Lord!
A lot of conservatives to be upset with today...Newt, Forbes and now Charles K...even John Gibson who I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say...what is with Repubs that they can't stand behind their Prez and Admin.....right or wrong the Rats always do.....Rush is back tomorrow and hopefully my sanity.
Right now they are evacuating and rescueing people. After this is accomplished they shift to finding them places to stay temporaily. At this point they join the milions that already did this on their own before the storm hit. Everyone then we will file, they'll have to, for losses. Some will have insurance and be covered. Others will be benfieficieries of the public aid and government aid being joined together. In the end just about everyone will be better off than before. New homes, new cars, better heathcare, employment opportunities from citizens wishing to help get them on their feet that will get a number of these people off welfare. It'll take time, but excepting for the grief of lost loved one, pets and memorabilia, in many ways they have the fresh start so many always wish for.
"Please convey our thanks and love for him. We're praying for them all, and despite the damn politicians we're going to help these people in whatever they need and rebuild our country. We apprecate them, all our troops and rescue workers and our President.
That is such a beautiful story about that woman too."
It's TennTuxedo's posting and friend so I'll ping him for your comments. I just re-posted it. :-)
"They didn't anticipate a flood trapping people there for so long"
There was always a clear highway out of NO and the Superdome
Thanks, we need to forward this to ALL Freepers.
I propose that from now on, the show be referred to as
Hairball with Chris Matthews.
Prayers for Katrina victims.
In God We Trust. Not Democrats.
Mine too.
I want to know what's going on, but I don't think I can bear another day of this mindless bashing in complete opposition to the facts.
The TV stays off tomorrow, methinks. I need to regroup.
My posts here on the subject have been based on this thread.
Someone ought to caption that picture.
Sorry - don't know how to paste the picture, but, here's the
Caption:
Gov Blanco, didn't know you and Hill were such good buds - -is that *ole' crusty* you have on?
Yes, but real character is revealed in these times and on the good side we have Brit, Fred, Moose, Jeff Birnbaum wasn't even that bad for a Lib, Sean, Levin, Tony and Rush I'm confidant on. He was leading the charge before just about anyone last week.
Because they shouldn't. It's called honesty. They should say what they believe. If everyone would do this, we wouldn't have such a mess in this country. :/ Call me naive, but I still believe in honesty.
As for what they said, I was deeply disappointed. Especially in Charles. I can only think he did not do his homework because it was Labor Day and just winged it.
WWL stating that the mold has grown in the homes all they way up the walls....
Thank you. :-)
Thank you.
Thanks for the link.
Isn't this making you nuts? I mean every talking head starts with that premise, and it's just plain ridiculous.
Boy, we need more of General Honore.
I too haven't heard as much about Ms and Ala and Florida...
BUT, I did watch a talk that President Bush gave to some people in Miss. today and HE sure hasn't forgotten them...and he is as involved in helping them as NO...
Actually, I would think that some departments could be doing a lot for the MS and Ala, because they aren't under 10 feet of water...
Look for reports from Rick Leventhal on Fox---he is doing a good job of reporting on MS....I don't remember who is in Alabama...
Perhaps we freepers need to put out the word to all freepers to post on this thread, any and all information from those other states...make it a priority in OUR hearts and minds at least...
Thanks for reminding me---us!!!
Do not know if/when the backup generator failed. When the last people were out of the Dome, the lights were not on inside.
