Any liberal who gets on TV and says this wasn't a great speech just ain't an American. And who was that weenus on CNN from Time Magazine who started in about how the speech didn't accomplish anything?
Koppel's special before the speech never mentioned all the unused buses.
After the speech, Koppel has a field reporter at the Astrodome complex fishing for anti-Bush comments from the NOLA folks there. The first woman questioned doesn't blame Bush at all, likes him, and says the city and state messed up, and then she references the buses! It was priceless!
I checked on property taxes in some Parrishes. Scary! Over 10percent, some $130+ per $1,000!
You guys really should try to KEEP UP with the facts; he's appointed an inspector general to OVERSEE this.
It pays to read FR.
Fair assessment.
"On ABC, ... The reporter is so frustrated!
Another home run for Dubya!"
So, now they've gone to elected Dems to try to get some negative comments and it still isn't happening (much). HAHAHAHA - stupid media.
Miss Marple, you liked what?
President Bush was NOT responsible. The "solution" should not be a federal issue either. If we were a centralized statist nation, then the Federal Government is responsible for each house, block, neighborhood, city, county, state and region. Do you believe we are a centralized statist nation now? Is that why you like it? I disagree with you. Bush should have said the locals at city, parish and county and state levels were responsible for the planning and preparation and event management, and that the Feds were only responsible for FEMA post-event help and assistance.
My stomach could not allow me to watch the full speech as I only can take so much socialism promises, but just one thing...........I assume President Bush did not mention one thing about stopping foreign aid or cutting back on other programs to pay for this reconstruction. Am I correct? If so, what is your reaction to President Bush promising billions without some reduction offset in other programs??? Anyone?

Politician caught in tearful lie
Parish prez fabricates claim about feds leaving coworker's mom to die
Im having a more confidence about this situation than what was expected.
The Dems however will hammer for more taxes to pay for this. I see their field day coming. Especially considering him trying to uplift the poor. That pretty much shamed the dems. I do tend to think that home ownership and small business will NOT help some of these people. It may help some but probably less than more due to their own mismanagement.
I like Haley Barbour. He seems to be handling his state well.
Form what I understand, that is the plan. For those that lost everything to this storm.
That was Dean Reynolds trying every which way to get that whole group of people to say something negative about the President!
When you add in the hundreds of billions of dollars for pork construction projects and hundreds of billions of dollars for Medicare drugs, and hundreds of billions of dollars for entitlement spending that has not been cut, we are going to have the largest deficits and ever increasing national debt (now some $40,000,000,000,000) and growing.
The dollar will fall. Inflation will rise. People who save and invest will be screwed. This is how nations decline.
This household turned off Joe a year ago.
The fact that you call them "the parish assholes" may be something of an indication.
;)
But good luck, anyway.
imagine the legal fees. there will be environmental challenges to every project - all litigated, the federal money used to pay lawyers, settlements to plantiffs who win. the lawyers are going to decend on this region like locusts.
Bush laid out nothing but a line of pure BS. Mark my words. We can't rebuild NO at the bottom of a toilet bowl. It will have to be filled in. Or a trillion dollars worth of 'super levees' will have to be built to protect it.
What about NO is worth a TRILLION dollars? I wouldn't give you a billion for the whole shit hole.
Bush is a 50 cent politician with poor handlers.
I've HAD it!
Amosmoses=ZOT
I was clapping at the red light. He was great. I wish I heard the whole thing instead of the last five minutes. Probably a good thing too. I wouldn't get any sleep tonight *LOL*
We should not be giving billions of taxpayer money to Africans nor billions to rebuild a city that will flood again because it is in an incredibly retarded spot. In a bowl surrounded by water.
