Pelosi to lead group to assess storm recovery

WASHINGTON -- A U.S. House delegation, led by its three top Democratic leaders, plans to view levees and tour communities in the 9th Ward, Lakeview and St. Bernard Parish as part of a fact-finding visit this weekend to evaluate progress as the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina nears.

The delegation, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip James Clyburn, is expected to arrive Saturday in New Orleans and participate in a bus tour.

Afterward, the representatives will travel to Baton Rouge for a meeting with some local government officials and some may stay over Sunday to attend Baton Rouge church services.

This should be posted throughout the Midwest and show the people out there what the Demercrats think them. I also read where some of those in the Midwest are thinking about relocation but the good old Democrats want to keep the slaves in New Orleans down on the farm.Brilliance in the Democrat Party continues to shine.

" A U.S. House delegation, led by its three top Democratic leaders, plans to view levees and tour communities in the 9th Ward, "

So, the Democrats are going to go view their mess of a Liberal Plantation and of a city and state ruined by Democrats!

I would hang around and make a long rambling comment. But I need to let my dog go outside so she can make a Pelosi. Then I’ll have to shovel the Pelosi up so that I don’t step in it later.

Ok, tell me this. I spoke to a native New Orleanian (I guess) who told me yesterday the vegetation and land had been devestatingly stripped by the oil Co down there.

Does anyone know the facts?

The Democrat strategy:

Jeb Bush had no business letting that hurricane get past Florida!

And Dick Cheney with that secret, racist weather machine Halliburton built in his basement...

I was wondering about Biloxi and that area. Oops, the governor is a Republican - so they won’t bother.

Bad planning to compete with the Messiah and his “Sermon on the Wall”.

I doubt much of that stuff is “fact,” but more research needs to be done because the last thing we need is for liberals to actually have a case...they may, we’ll see.
