President Bush to address the nation on Hurricane Katrina...has flown by the damage on Air Force One on way back to D.C.
No way. He will be sympathetic, and then upbeat. He is a man of action and will outline the plan from this point on. I don't know what the real estate value of the city is, but rebuilding is going to be an enormous expense and it should be done with the intent to do more than just restore it to its pre-katrina state.
Look, this was entirely predictable. If a meteor hit and wiped out NO, they'd have an excuse for not planning for it. There is no excuse for this. They had days to get people out of town. They not only waited until the last minute to tell people to leave, they provided no means of escape for those who do not own vehicles or lacked the resources to leave. The Mayor knows very well there are a huge number of people who are dependent on public transportation. Do they have any buses in NO? School buses? They should have had a plan in place to get people out of that hellhole in advance.
It's appalling and ridiculous. They are taking people from the Superdome and other evacuation centers and what? Dropping them off on the friggin freeway? Old people? Women with baby's? With no water in friggin 90+ degree weather?
They are going to bus them all the way to the Astrodome? We can't set up a friggin tent city? Why bus them to another dome. What a bunch of crap.
The Administration better get a handle on this right away or this will be an ugly black mark on Bush.
Oh, be careful. Criticising the authorities is apparently not allowed! People living on a freaking freeway. Unreal. Unreal.
I heard he was going to resign at 5 p.m. today during the news conference. I can't believe he would do that. Who will take over for him?
I'm there with you, buddy, but watch out for incoming.
We're going to bus them all to the Superdome... Get them some friggin water for godsakes. Setup a tent city. How long do you think they're going to last without water?
I assume TPTB is shorthand for the joos for those "in the know" around there.
Yeah, don't get them out of town, introduce them to some new hell by putting them in that stench-filled coffin.
Is that the time it swept through Albion, PA and the only thing left standing was that little church?
By the way, your juvenile whining will not help you in the finals for the SPOTY award. But I am a compassionate guy. Here ya go...
This is probably the thread to keep up on the Presidential address, aft.
Oh, come on now! If mean ol' useless Dubya had secured our southern border 100% then Katrina couldn't have hit the Gulf Coast!
Bingo. And there are plenty here who are piling on. I wonder what they'd be saying if LA's governor was Jeb Bush?
Me too, same time, but for $2.58...so neener neener neener... "-)
Sounds scary. In any way, specifically?
Alert! Alert.........you gotta know anybody who says that is NOT a conservative! :-)
What are you doing here troll?
