I hope that door hits you...hard...on the way out! Bye bye summer soldier.

[Pukin Dog]

Look, like it or not, an American city has been almost totally destroyed. Fixing it will not be free. It is going to cost money, and some of you folks look really silly complaining about the spending. The reality is that this is going to cost all of us big time. Get over it.

[onyx]

See? I sort of knew you'd be happier than you thought you'd be! :)

[nuffsenuff]

Are you listening to the speech?

He's talking about CHARITIES and CHURCHES and BUSINESS.

What's wrong with you people?

[Howlin]

That sound you're hearing is the Republican and conservative base giving up on Pres. Bush. He has abandoned our priciples.

I am the base.

And nobody here believes you ever supported him in the first place. Ever.

[Peach]

Cities are asked across the country to review their emergency procedures.

[fishntex]

That word will bounce around in the heads of many.

Hey! Did he say lottery?! I gonna get me some of that.

[Fudd Fan]

Apparently the clock on the church is not working (probably due to lack of power).
They are in a different time zone...............duh

It hasn't moved the entire time. DUH indeed.

[amosmoses]

Why? B/c I dont worship GWB- His daddy was despised by people like you.

[hoosiermama]

Precisely

[SE Mom]

This is beyond offensive.

[isthisnickcool]

Go away..please.

I've been here many years and I've never been asked that before. The answer is NO by the way.

It's stupid to build cities in holes surrounded by water. And there is no way New Orleans can be rebuilt at an elevation that protects property from flooding in a sensible manner. You may not like that but that's the way it is.

The American taxpayer should not subsidize flood insurance in areas that have a 100% chance of flooding.

[don-o]

Oh be quiet...

Nope. W played jesse's race card big time. It won't help him. Why go down that bad road?

[Terpfen]

Jeb's already said he isn't running.

[NeoCaveman]

first time I ahve been called a troll- You should read all my posts you Neocon wimp

If you don't want to be called a troll, don't use their language.

You can criticize. I've been rather critical today myself.

I hope I'm not giving tips on how to be a better troll, oh well.

[zarf]

He's appealing to the private sector too. This is NOT just a big government undertaking.

Agreed. An interesting mix of private and public responses.

Could be a way to carve into the poverty mindset and divide the poverty industry.

[Dolphy]

what about all thge other republicans who dont support Bush?

The ones with permanent minority stamped on their foreheads?

[onyx]

I heard that -- brilliant -- ask the labor unions to help!

How can they possibly say no?

[newzjunkey]

What the hell does that mean? I'll tell you what it means. Give my money to everybody else.

More like STEAL my money, my children's money and my grandchildren's money. Bush is treating this like reparations without the nationwide impact. He's swallowed whole the idea "racism" is why the people in New Orleans have so many impoverished persons. This speech is a *mess* and it won't do ONE GOOD THING to improve 'race relations'. He's pandering. Pandering!!
