Hey Barack:

Listen up.

If I choose to live in a home ten feet below sea level, and it is destroyed by flood-waters, will the government have failed me too?

Tell me, if I walk across a busy freeway and get struck by a car and killed, will the government have failed me too?

If I choose to lean off a bridge and fall on rocks and die, will the government have failed me too?

Where does it end? When am I judged to have used faulty judgement? When do I have to take responsibility?

I am ashamed of the people who are incable of admitting they made a terrible choice. And a terrible choice it was. Sooner or later it was bound to happen and it did.

Now shut the hell up!

For those interested in the real problem with N.O. cleanup and repopulation, I suggest an excellent overview of the 9th Ward from Wikipedia here:

Ninth Ward of New Orleans

In part:

"Further back are the St. Claude and Florida area neighborhoods, then the Desire neighborhood. This part of the Ward containts two of the Housing Projects of New Orleans. The Desire neighborhood was home to the large Desire Projects, until they were demolished concurrent with HOPE VI policy. Just across Florida avenue from that is the Florida Projects. Nearby was the Agriculture Street Landfill, an old city dump that was covered over and made into a neighborhood of low income housing, then became a Superfund toxic cleanup site."

When these projects were demolished, the feds built single family dwellings in the worst "drained swamps" in N.O. 9th Ward. They will be very sparsely repopulated. They were "the new projects", virtually all federally subsidized.

Today, this is the area where all the cameras go to show that FEMA is doing nothing.

Well, 90% of those welfare residents left N.O. and now are being subsidized somewhere else. The few who returned are nothing more than useful dupes of the press, local corrupt politicians, and catastrophy propaganda leftists.
