Knew Orleans?
Well, it's clear that the people of Louisiana are for sale....how pathetic and how very sad for the good and decent folks there who are paying the price.
Well the people of New Orleans need to stop robbing , stabbing, and shooting and rebuild. Local government still counts, local leadership is important. The people of New Orleans re-elected an incompetent, racist mayor who failed to evacuate them or succor them at their hours of need and danger. He and an equally incompetent governor took, and continue to take, NO responsibility for the safety, welfare or recovery of their people. The dogs in the street know that NO has received tens of millions of private and public assistance. What did Nagin and Bianco do with it? Mississippi was hit just as hard as Louisiana. Yet communities there are rebuilding . Leadership matters. But New Orleans voters apparently felt race mattered more. And Obama is race-hustling right along with the best of them. Despicable.
He's paying way too much attention to his press clippings.
Divert the federal funds scheduled to flow to Illinois to waste on NOLA, if that's what Barack wants.
As usual, it's Bush's fault while state and local officials are sitting around and drinking beer in Baton Rouge.
Who the hell cares? New Orleans was a dump before Katrina. Bulldoze it under and move on already.
If the Feds poured 100 times as much money into Nagin's Chocolate Town, it would still not be enough for Obama.
What did he promise and what did he not deliver? Tell me!
