I totally agree! Yesterday on Fox all they talked about was N.O.! Get over it! Or at least tell the truth about how the lazy bums that live there are just sitting around and waiting for government money! I've read so many stories that business's can't hire anyone because the "poor" are getting so much in government money they don't want to work!
I have a manufacturing plant and have found it difficult to fill the occasional opening. A gent who works with me explained that between Aid for Dependent Children, Welfare, and Food Stamps, I'd have to start off a new employee at $10/hr to compete.
The first month after Katrina hit it was very important news - but after that the hurricane victimes need to get on with their lives. Katrina victims don't need to wallow in their self pity for months and months because the newsmedia decides this story will go on forever because they have a Bush Bashing Agenda. The Katrina victims are being used by the media to further the Democrat agenda to blame Bush for everything that goes wrong in this country. The blame is on Mayor who let this happen without evacuating the people a day before. Nagin saw dollar signs and decided he was going to reap the disaster rewards. He knew this was coming - the weather services were predicting it days ahead of time. During the Mardi Gras parade he was riding a horse like some sort of dictator waving at his loyal and frightened subjects. Made me sick to see those pictures.
