That sound you're hearing is the Republican and conservative base giving up on Pres. Bush. He has abandoned our priciples. This is what the Federal Government is supposed to do.
The highway bills full of billions of dollars in PORK is not.

Wall Street Journal today described how the GOP is reaming the Dem constituent groups with the rebuilding program i.e. putting in school vouchers, tort relief, Davis-Bacon relief etc.
I suspect Dubya is behind it.

I hope he never has to give this speech after the Iranians give their nukes to the long bearded smelly ones. I hope we don't need any temporary guest workers to help rebuild NO...looked like there were plenty of able bodied looters to me.

We should not be giving billions of taxpayer money to Africans
That is the sickest and DUmbest shit I've read this month, yes, even dumber than RFK JR. blaming W for the hurricane. I won't even approach the racist tone, but from a pure policy standpoint, most of what President Bush is offering can be accomplished by removing barriers, not by pumping money into the region.. Now, what will happen after congress gets ahold of it is another story...

An interesting mix of private and public responses.
Could be a way to carve into the poverty mindset and divide the poverty industry.
Indeed.

>>Take that carping gloom and doom somewhere else.<<
I'll stick around here, if you don't mind, sir. This isn't DU, the last time I checked, and there is room here for the non-Bushbots among us.
For the record, I give thanks every day that George W. Bush is our president. That does not mean, though, that I have to agree with everything he does or proposes to do.
I suppose you and I will just have to agree to disagree, but I maintain that the handling of this phony-baloney, over-hyped crisis is a disaster in itself. Sure, people are hurting, people have died, it is a terrible thing that has happened, but Dubya doesn't do himself any favors acting as if someone has proven that he has a hurricane generator in the White House basement.
If G.W. Bush has a weakness, it is that he has done a terrible job of defining issues, and has spent much too much time reacting to events, out of his control, mind you, as if he is responsible. This Katrina crap is a whopping example.

I see the sky IS falling. I am joining you in ignoring the naysayers tonight. The speech is not bad at all.

He did say, "every level of government."
That's probably as close as he's gonna get to blaming locals.
Now, he's gonna ask for more federal power to act in disasters.
As long as he is president, I'm for it, but we have to watch it. (think Hillary)

To: MikeinIraq
Relief efforts were overwhelmed in the first few days. Four years after 9/11, Americans had every righ to expect a more effective response. I am responsible for the problem and the solution.
Every Cabinet secretary is going to participate in a comprehensive review. We will learn from Hurricane Katrina.
(I say the feds did fine -- it was the state and locals who let civil unrest get so bad that FEMA had to withdraw)
