Ted Koppell calls this a "breathtaking" speech, in it's committments.

Tim Russert goes poetic. Says we have to be careful this doesn't become a tale of two cities. he means the French Quarter is all lit up, but oh the stench in other areas, that's still underwater.

Brian Williams and tim Russert are pontificating pukes! Standing on a French Quarter street corner acting like the two wise men with their sleeves rolled up. GAG ME!!!

[MikefromOhio]

i've given, and given, and given. i'm sure i sound heartless and greedy, which i'm really not. i just don't necessarily trust the government to spend my money wisely. particularly the louisiana government. sorry if that sounds crass.

The IG is watching the money, NOT The Louisiana state government.

[saveliberty]

I am watching Fox and Juan is not on.

[billbears]

This has nothing to do with race. I am flat sick and tired of those here and elsewhere that are trying to make this a race issue. There are whites, blacks, hispanics, etc. in this area. There were whites and blacks taking advantage of the looting situation in NO. Cops and criminals alike. And there were blacks and whites that did nothing and remained lawabiding citizens. They will all be given this money from the national government at all our expenses.

What this has to do with the national government overstepping its bounds and taking yet even more power upon itself than it was ever intended to and spending taxpayer dollars unconstitutionally.

I swear, I thought the hurricane in NO brought out just the worst in human nature there. It's clear it brought it out elsewhere as well.

[Mo1]

Mort -- "adequate" speech.

They are still cleaning up and recovering .. this wasn't meant to be a WOOHOO speech

It was meant to show the Gulf and the rest of the country that there is a light at the end of the tunnel

[Nonstatist]

The guy is spending money like a drunken sailor. Unbelievable

[not2worry]

Mort had to choke that out...with him that a "W" got'em

[Peach]

Oh, I wish I'd seen that. I'd pay cash money to see that.

[Master of Orion]

That ABC guy is fishing pretty hard for some anti Bush comments, but they're not biting! lol

[Howlin]

Don, if we took half the political advice I've seen you give over the years, we'd be the Reform Party.

[ARealMothersSonForever]

"Why? B/c I dont worship GWB- His daddy was despised by people like you".
Wrong on that assumption.
I do not worship any of the people in the party. I do have party loyalty though. Even when I disagree with some of the planks in the platform.
Good try.

[defconw]

Amen, to much, of my blood, sweat, tears and money went into President Bush, he deals with the hand he gets, he doesn't whine, he rolls up hs sleeves and goes to work, I don't always agree, but he has my respect and my trust.

[altura]

I have no objection to helping Africa, but not unless the aid has REAL oversite so that the corrupt leaders don't take/spend/waste it all.

[manapua]

Okay, that was a bit excitable, On ABC, they are interviewing evacuees hoping for negative comments, and all the black folks they are interviewing are coming out 100% for Bush. The reporter is so frustrated! Another home run for Dubya!

Handouts are the easiest way to get support.

[NautiNurse]

The ABC reporter is baiting the evacuees who just listened to the president. They say they believe what the President said, they are hopeful. The reporter says, "Why would you believe what you just heard?"

[ladyinred]

I must agree with your last statement. However, I don't believe their was racism in this storm response. I think if anyone failed them , it was the local and state government. But mostly, this was one terrible storm.

[Pukin Dog]

YES, I USE CAPS WHEN I AM EXCITED TOO. lol. To watch these black people trashing the local and state government is a joy to behold.

[uncbob]

SWEET! Tax breaks for businesses to create jobs.

I thought that is was business do
Employ people

[JediForce]

Yes....but let the private sector do most of the building and keep the paper pushers out.

[Peach]

Woman on ABC saying "when they opened the floodgates".

She's blaming the mayor of her city for not spending the money on the levees.
