"Just playing the Jesse card. Racial discrimination causing poverty. W drank the kool ade.
Damn"

Yeah, that got under my skin, too. I'm so SICK of "discrimination" being blamed for the blacks not pulling themselves out of poverty.

[wardaddy]

I agree with you.

Sounds like an FDR speech


and more blame racism.


more minority giveaways.....and so forth

incredible.

[newzjunkey]

Building hire and better. Listening to 'good ideas' and here come three initiatives: Gulf Opportunity Zone providing 'job creating incentives', tax relief, loan guarantees directed at *MINORITY OWNED ENTERPRISES*... Worker recovery accounts. Feds giving $5000 per evacuee while they look around for a job or for education. Urban Homesteading Act... FREE housing lots using Fed land via a lottery.

Did you ask if he's a socialist?

[the Deejay]

I shoot from the hip. I have family still w/o power /phone

And just what, exactly, do you want "W" to do, climb poles (himself), to restore your family's power & phone lines?

[TeleStraightShooter]

Gulf Opportunity Zone.

A zone free of enviroWacko encumberments to build about 7 oil refineries.

Dubya is on a fool's mission if he thinks he is going to buy himself out of the morass the MSM and the disingenuous Dimwits have managed to sucker him into.
He doesn't. He thinks we're going to buy him out of it. And it sickens me to say, I believe he is correct. My purse hurts. My wallet is breathing a last, dying breath. Dammit!

[ChadGore]

[mondonico]

He's coopting the Dems' great entitlement ponzi scheme. Every poor family that goes from the projects to a house they OWN, they are on the way to becoming independent.


At least I hope so.

[CajunConservative]

1718
The St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans is built, the oldest in the United States.

[Howlin]

You know, some people are right about a lot of you 2005 joins.

[Peach]

Protecting NO must be done. City and State officials will have engineering decisions to make and the Army Corp of Engineers will work with them.

[torchthemummy]

Yo watch the language - this isn't DU!

[jackbill]

Until someone gets some sense. Is there a limit?

[msnimje]

The dems created this problem.

Indeed. I really wish he would say something like, "The American Dream is not achievable by those confined by the harsh restraints of Welfare. We want to set you free of this trap and broaden your financial futures.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Better have inspectors...we know how Louisianians think that fed money is an invitation to put hands in the cookie jar...

[plain talk]

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

What's retarded is your brain. New Orleans is the 5th largest port in the world and the most unique city in the U.S. The city IS being rebuilt. There's nothing to discuss.

[NeoCaveman]

There you go: Gulf Opportunity Zone.
Now what was next on your list?

He's hit two out of three. I am pleased.

Number 3 is how are we paying for the extra spending?

[defconw]

Heck Yes, how do I get in?
