You're a broken record.

Whut? I just said it once, Deacon.

[TeleStraightShooter]

Great Speech

Ranks right up there with his 2nd Inauguration.

[JulieRNR21]

I like the way he reminded us of other historical disasters & said we are all tied together....and will overcome this as well.....my eyes filled with tears when he talked of the jazz funerals...I was fortunate to attend one in NO......what a surperb closing to his speech!

[shield]

If it's FED Money [taxpayer]...the FEDS will be all over it...the FEDS will put those bozos in prison if the corrupt Lousyana Officials think they'll line their corrupt pockets...they need to look at Enron, etc.

The Feds will have a foothold like never before in corrupt Lousyana. And will have an opportunity to clean up lousyana once and for all. LOL...;o)

Lousyana is all excited for all the monies coming into their state....They need to remember this is not crook 'toon...it's W!!!

[plain talk]

[apackof2]

Your kids' inheritance. ;-(

[ChadGore]

Hastert coming up . . .

Mort -- "adequate" speech.

[CedarDave]

Last few minutes were inspiring and uplifting. Now Mort's naysaying it.

[defconw]

Not his best ever, but that was not the point, it was not about him, I thought he was quite eloquent, positive and proactive.

[Soul Seeker]

Mort stating the speech not 9-11 quality.

Mort, 9-11 was a terrorist attack.

[Peach]

It's a good idea to suggest that schools adopt schools, churches adopt churches, etc.

We have a sister city and we are committed to helping in times of need and having fun in the good times.

[kcar]

No this is just retarded. The federal government was never intended for this. Nobody ever needs to make emergency plans for themselves - the Federal will take care of them.

What is this Constitution Party people speak of?

[hoosiermama]

We forget sometimes that the FEDs are just our representitives......They go in when ALL of us can't.

[somesie]

thx! good to be here. very good to be here. just started becoming politically aware (slightly embarrassed to admit) since 9/11/01 and have been out there on my own, just me and my talk radio, until i found you all. i feel like i've come home...there reall is intelligent life out here!
uh-oh. here come the pundits. let the games begin.

[xcamel]

Damn straight!

[Howlin]

What do you expect him to REALISTICALLY do?

Ignore New Orleans?

[Tuxedo]

Pandering? Open your eyes! What did you see over the past few weeks? I saw mostly black faces living in fricking squalor in the greatest country in the world. That is pathetic. Are we to now believe it is a simple coincidence that the media focused on blacks, or that maybe there really is a serious problem here? These people lost everything - their homes, their possessions, and some of their loved ones. And could they afford the expensive flood insurance? Probably not. Maybe it is better than our tax money is spent to help these people instead of doing cow fart research and a bunch of other nonsense. We spend enough to help other impoverished countries as it is. Time to spend some of that money at home.

[PilloryHillary]

GOOD speech. I've seen Bush give better speeches. It's hard for President Bush to give a great speech with no live audience.
