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.
Don't remind me, it makes me too sad ....
And Democrats have become synonymous with whiny do-nothings.
Polosi is one more example of how astute the Dimocrats are in picking their leaders. Just like in Louisiana. Just like third grade dropouts.
This public safety thing, or safety thing, is being pushed way too hard. No matter what they do in Congress, we are all going to get old and pass on. We can't do much about hurricanes or other natural disasters. Congress can't stop earthquakes just by passing another law. They can spend money, though, as if the country is a railroad and having the latest locomotives means locomotives won't crash anymore, or put a fire engine on every street corner so houses won't catch fire anymore.
Saw her rant on TV yesterday w/ the sound off. The visual really brings home the fact that this woman is just plain nuts.
Aren't these the same hosers who continually whine about not politicizing 9/11?
What's with the cheap shot about NY not being prepared? When did she run to the nearest microphone to complain about no preparation for these events:
I hope Rudy puts his boot where it belongs on her. We know the Bush administration will remain silent as always, but I don't think he'll let it go.
Everytime you think they can't get more outrageous.
Where do they GO to get these little sound bites? Do they sit in their rooms and spend all their time thinking them up? Obviously, she's not doing anything to help like thousands of others are
Why do you never see Nancy Pelosi and the runaway bride at the same time, or for that matter Nancy and Joan Rivers?
-M1-A2's dad
Keep talkng you brains of a chicken, dcreching,
feces flinging monkey..your a public disgrace
to the human race. If ever there was a joke of
a person, having the unmitigated gal to call
someone *else* of being incompetant to do their
jobs t's *you* Pelosi....Do you *ever* do anything
else but run in front of cameras to calll for someones resignation?
Have you *ever* *done* anything of *positive* consequence?
You are a shrill and stupid monkey, Pelosi...all you are
is another tag team slanderer for the DemoPervert
Party of Useless Failurists and blubberers.
"I didn'tdo it!"...in a way that's right..Dims
don't do* anything but sink deeper into perversion
pandering, and self realising victimhood.
The largest migration of Democrat voters to Red States since the Civil war.
Nancy's plastic surgeon was clearly not prepared as well as he could have been.
No kidding. I would love to see Peeelosi handle anything more dangerous than her face lift. She is truly a joke.
So what do the democRATS have to do with it? Nothing but criticism and certainly no constructive solutions,
She's right. But unfortunately she is part of the problem and has lost the ability to realize it.
Wrong.... Karl Marx's ANUS speaks.....
Why don't you know that Bush could have kept all those guardsmen home from Iraq and sent them down to the Gulf Coast? Give 'em some palm fronds to wave a wind that would blow the hurricane back out to sea...
As hokey a plan as that would be, and humor aside, I've have been satisfied to hear it from Pelosi because at least it's a PLAN. It may be a bad plan but it is a plan. Which is something the dims don't offer. They just rant.
