There are two stories linked above related to the historic 1997 Red River Valley flood. I'm not sure if I'm linking them correctly on here so please accept my apologies!! But at any rate Fargo, ND was flooded April 14, 1997 and President Clinton visited the area 8 days later on April 22, 1997 and was hailed by CNN as the "consoler-in-chief" and NOT hammered by the media, the Governor of ND, or the Mayors of Fargo or Grand Forks as being uncaring or racist for not visiting the area for 8 days!

I heard on Rush's show this week, that Clinton's FEMA was 30 days getting in an area after hurricane Floyd (I think it was) because of so much flooding.
I'm sorry I don't remember the state though. I zoned in on the "30 days" and "Clinton's FEMA" and didn't commit the rest to memory.

Why did it take Clinton 8 DAYS to visit the flood area in 1997?It was the one time in his life when he really WAS compassionate.

Why did it take Clinton 8 DAYS to visit the flood area in 1997? It took 8 days becasue there's no hurry when you're a dem.
Clinton was a hero for showing up after 8 days. Same flood, same time, and had it been Bush, he would have been the goat.
Two standards. One for them, one for us.

Not too many votes available for Ol' Slick out in that area.

It was nasty, dangerous and what good would it have done? He probably figured he would wait until it was COMPLETELY safe. I don't blame him. He has a family too and I wouldn't want MY husband down there when they didn't and STILL don't appreciate what he was doing.

Flooding wasn't nearly so bad, and the National Guard had it pretty well under control, and Clinton was a Democrat so *shhhhhh!!!*

Why? You ask why?
It was Bush's fault, of course!
