Actually I was a little suprised at the information. I think the perception has been thrown off these past few weeks because the majority of the population in NOLA are black... many going back for generations.

You're wrong. Dee Dee was the press secretary, for a while and a real Clintonista kneepadder.

What? I don't a freakin idea what that is supposed to mean.

How would you rate M.Brown's FEMA response to the previous dozen hurricanes to Katrina?

I live in NC; we just had Ophelia; we were ready.......just like we always are; and it was because of our GOVERNOR......and he's a Democrat, but he did and always has done a great job!

And we aren't sitting around here waiting for FEMA to show up.

I believe you are mistaken. It was not FEMA who handed out the debit cards.

Well, I thought this was a wonderful speech, full of hope and ideas.

Too much Bush-bashing here for me. I am going to go to bed while I still feel good about most of my fellow men.

Good night!

Great Post.
The Urban Homestead idea recalls an original issue for
the then spankin' new republican party,that of opening up western federal lands for the folks.

2005-2001 = 4

You call it obtuse. I call it accuracy.

I actually don't like the President's spending........on things like the Farm Bill and the Transportation bill.

But this is money for people in great need (and your johnny one note 'flood insurance' song is irrelevant after the fact).

Do you even have a clue as to the level of destruction there is in an area as large as the entire United Kingdom? Are you aware that entire communities are completely GONE? Do you really believe that we, as a free and caring people, should not help rebuild the Gulf region for the good of our country and our economy?

How self-centered and short sighted are you?

The President has proposed helping these people get themselves back on their feet. Conservatives should be applauding that.

Actually, we are..........

How did George W spend money for 6 years when he took office on Jan 2001? Was he filling in for Clinton? My calculations show 4 years and 8 months. 6 years ago was 1999.

I already posted that it should have been 5 years rather than 6. Try to grasp the big picture here and not focus on typos.

Bush is the biggest spender in the history of this country. His spending, even if you take out military spending, is the largest ever! How is this conservative?

Rather than addressing domestic issues with a conservative approach, he throws federal money at them.

what do you think this is about? 50 billion is already committed - if it were just that, you wouldn't see people here (well some maybe) complaining about the fiscal aspect of this. the bill is going higher, much higher. watch it unfold - I think it will be 200+ billion before its all over.

Man the arogance of the left wing of the Republican party. Enjoy the shambles of what's left.

It is the Third Party, Buchanan, Perot, types that has
brought us the Left as in Carter and clinton. Thank You
but no thanks.

Kinda thought, just for a mere instant, that there was the appearance of the tight jawed, dark eyed look the President can get when he is dead on serious, when he spoke to a 'specifically assigned federal team to review every single expenditure because the tax payers will be expecting it...'

bet al gore and landrieu and hitlery and james witt and lt gov landrieu and on and on and on got a little tight jawed themselves when they heard this...hehe!

Was thinking the same. I can no longer tell either party apart. They appear one in the same, with little differences.

Very depressing,

Good night.

He is the useful idiot "fake" conservative that the defeated liberal media parade him around to bash President Bush. Of course still the master of useful idiots is Pat Buchanan.

I call it a typo. Why have not addressed the massive spending that Bush has engaged in? That was my poinnt and you've done nothing but focus on minutia.

He mentioned day care to allow them the ability to get an education and a job. IMHO incentive to have babies to collect welfare needs to be looked at in the equation.
