Posing as a Federal officials?

Isn't that a crime?

Had they made a similar announcement stating that the agency was providing jobs renovating these same buildings to the folks who would live there and others on public assistance, you would have likely been able to hear a pin drop from the crowd.

If you're forced to work for what you get, it changes your perspective.

Let's see a crowd of people demonstrate for the right to go in and overhaul these properties. HA HA not going to happen.

If they were real activists, they would have been down there doing this stuff the day after the hurricane hit. That would have impressed me!

[CajunConservative]

Dang, that's asking for an a$$ kicking....

" a group of environmental and corporate ethics activists"

And just how ethical is it to pull a hoax like this on folks...

[kinoxi]

What would be the point of this? To stir up more local discontent towards the Feds? Who finances this 'ethics group'?

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

From top to bottom everyone of these basta*ds should be arrested and really make an example of them!

[D-Chivas]

Sure, that's funny, but so is this:

[ChadGore]

This is Fraud.

What is the point of such pranks?

[bruinbirdman]

So, are "Louisiana Recovery Authority, Louisiana Department of Education, and the non-profit organization New Schools for New Orleans" bogus, too?

The RATS on Daily Kos are spinning this as an indictment of our President's alleged neglect of New Orleans.

Apparently, these guys were appearing with Blanco and Nagin...and fooled them...three peas in a pod, all imposters.

Shows what dopes Blanco and Nagin are.
