He's right, the government did fail the people. And, as President for eight years (1993-2001), he is part of that failure.

Spoken like a Zell Miller Democrat.

Clinton is correct. Bush caused the Katrina and the devastation that followed, Bush wanted to make sure the Gays would not have their yearly Gay Mardi Gras, aptly named Southern Decadence.

The Hurricane did not dissuade several dozen gays dressed in tutus and Grass skirts from marching down Bourbon street to the delight of spectators throwing beads from balconies. The uniform of the day for the spectators was birthday suits.

Did not see this in the main stream press?

Bill Clinton the liar, adulterer, backstabber, draft dodger, traitor and an all around descending colon.

After the storm hit people were left in shelters without food and water in both Mississippi and Louisiana.

In that bottom picture he looks like he's saying "huh, so you're saying I could have gotten one of those buses and loaded it up with unevacuated women and just driven 'em all the way to my place in Arkansas?...Shazam, why didn't I think of that?"

From the looks of the grifter, he might not be here to dance on the grave of the country.

Oh, that second pic screams 'CAPTION ME'. Especially compared to the first one. But I can't. It's too soon.

You spelled Mississippi correctly two times in your post, but I'm scratching my head wondering WTF are your trying to say.

Oh and gave Nuclear reactors to North Korea while cutting our military from 19 divisions down to 10. And also allowing that butch to create a wall in information sharing between the FBI and CIA.

First responsibility lies with the local and state governments. The media and the Dems want to hold Bush solely responsible but that's not new.

To Clinton's point, when has the federal government NOT failed the American people. The military doesn't count because it has a somewhat separate management with a different code of conduct and serious consequences for failure (people die).

Government has failed us on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, illegal immigration, Civil Rights, Pork, national security, the list goes on. In the history of federal mismanagement and corruption Clinton's is one of the worst administrations ever so he and his wife need to sit down and shut up.

The Clintons spent ALL LAST WEEK in Kaui, staying in an exclusive luxury retreat and dining on fine food. It's so easy to take pot shots at the relief effort when you are tanned and rested from a week in 5 Star accomodations.

Maybe they got indigestion watching the news
-" Hanalei Gourmet owner Tim Kerlin says the former president picked up a deli sandwich, while the women in the party enjoyed a restaurant appetizer specialty: deep-fried crispy artichoke hearts."

" The former president was seen hiking on Na Pali Coast-Kalalau Trail on Monday, and playing golf at Princeville, all the while with U.S. Secret Service agents at the ready."

" A North Shore resident said she spotted Sen. Clinton and daughter Chelsea dining at The Hanalei Gourmet, and otherwise enjoying the Princeville area ."

Hillary Antoinette Clinton- " Let them eat MRE's !! "

" Everything I'm hearing is coming from NOPD and Louisiana Gov."

Last I heard, over 400 NOPD types had deserted. Aren't you proud of them?

And that is FEMA's responsibility to stock and distribute rations at every facility?

Why is it that I don't hear Haley Barbour fussing about FEMA? Maybe it is because he isn't an ignorant idiot and knows what his role is and what FEMA's role is.

Former President Bill Clinton on Monday said the government "failed" the thousands of people who lived in coastal communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina...

No question about it. He and the co-president had 8 years to rebuild the levees and they didn't do anything about it. Instead he spent his time in the Oval Office with his pants around his ankles.
