Victims Less Angry Than Bush-Haters
The Pittsburgh Post Gazette ^ | September 19, 2005 | Ruth Ann Dailey

Instead of "he said, she said," today's column concerns "They said, you said, I said."

"They" are the hardy souls rounded up by ABC News to listen to President Bush's speech to the nation Thursday night. I happened to tape the event and was so astonished by it that I made a transcript. What they said illuminates what you said in response to what I said -- or what you think I said -- last Monday.

Reporter Dean Reynolds found a dozen people -- all African-Americans -- who'd been evacuated from the flooded streets of New Orleans, sat with them outside the Houston Astrodome and interviewed them as soon as the president's speech ended.

Reynolds' first question was to a woman named Connie London: "You heard the president say you are not alone . . . Do you believe him?"

"Yes," she said, "because here in Texas they've been truly good to us."

Hey I hope that this hurricane heads well south of the US this time around... we all need a break from that type of weather... If not Texas knows because of its kindness the Karma train will come around and help out there too...

Plus having a competent government is good too... :)

It's like I tell the Bush haters here. You are not reacting to reality you are reacting to a story the press has created.

"Nice story, especially coming in Ter-ay-za's hometown newspaper."

ONE of Ter-ay-za's hometown newspapers.

The other one, The Tribune Review, is not in lockstep with the liberal jackboots.

THEY shouldn't be angry at all. THEY ought to be thanking him for helping them.

Here is a thought you will NEVER see happen. The ones who get help ,get jobs and start paying back the money they received to show appreciation.
