Pelosi: 'September has Become Synonymous With a Lack of Preparedness, Whether in New York or New Orleans'
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi joined Congressmen Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Bennie Thompson (D-MS), and Ed Markey (D-MA) and first responders at a news conference today to discuss homeland security and how America remains vulnerable four years after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Below are Pelosi's remarks:
"Four years ago, our country suffered a terrible attack. This Sunday will mark the four-year anniversary. We remember the many families who were affected by losing their loved ones and their home life. They were devastated. And there were heroes that emerged that day as well.
"At that time, we made some serious and solemn commitments to the American people that we would keep them safe, that we would not be caught off guard, and that those who suffered and died would always be in our hearts, our thought, and our prayers, and serve as an inspiration to us to keep America safe.
"The Department of Homeland Security has declared September 'National Preparedness Month,' a time to increase public awareness about the need to prepare for emergencies. Unfortunately, September has become synonymous with a lack of preparedness, whether in New York or New Orleans. Americans should now harbor no illusions about the government's ability to respond effectively to disasters.
"Four years ago, we lost thousands of Americans, and last week we lost, perhaps, thousands of Americans as well. Our vulnerabilities were laid bare in 2001 by an act of terrorism, and this year by a natural disaster.
LOLOLOLOL - truth hurts
now if only RINOs would lose primaries...
Strange, I thought that September and all other months were synonymous with her uttering inane comments.
She qualifies for the 'c' word.
My Dearest, Lovely Nancy;
Piss OFF!!!!!
Affectionately,
A. Bustard
She must have seen pictures of those Beggin' Nagin buses sitting in the water........... UNUSED!!!.
;-)
Funny, I would have thought she had an aversion to Novembers..as in ---We Lost!
Duh! It's a DISASTER! Gads! Are these people just stupid!~??
Democrats have become synonymous with a lack of preparedness for meeting their constituents' needs.
This whole politicizing Katrina is over. Pelosi and Reid are markers for when a story has jumped the shark.
Pelosi, like her plastic face, is synonymous for phony.
Speaking of disasters....... what was New Orleans before the hurricane and after decades of liberal political control?
Yes.
They are stupid.
And ya know something, we should stop all the PC stuff on TV and call them that to their faces.
"Is your stupidity genetic, or are you just doing it on purpose?"
Where was CONGRESS? ON VACATION! Where was US Rep Harold Ford JUNIOR when the vote for the $10.5 Billion in assistance to the storm victims was being taken......ON VACATION!
Where was nancy pelosi??? ON VACATION!
Now the Dems are screaming about the RED TAPE....They need to point their fingers right back at themselves....THEY put those RED TAPE RULES IN PLACE in the first place!
Puting FEMA or NG tropps inside the expected storm area would have put them and their supplies in danger of being destroyed. They had to be positioned outside the expected storm zone to be able to help the storm victims
Can't argue with you and that one. For some odd reason I can always imagine her on the giving end of the knife in the old movie Psycho. She just has the look of a human ready to snap and go on a rampage.
Pelosi has Become Synonymous for BoTox
Itzlzha: "Pelosi needs a BIG GULP of STFU!"
One more facelift, and it's Goatee time for MZ. America!
