"You know I trust you, but I am finding this hard to wrap my mind around." LOL.


Maybe it's because of his energy this afternoon. I can't take too much of him.

It is what I expected. The REAL reason is that the democrats think their support of the President after 9/11 was a tactical error, allowing him a long stretch of time where he got media coverage and all was positive. So, in essence, they have decided to use the victims of Hurrican Katrina as a soapbox. They are despicabe, and I am not going to put up with it. And I wish someone would speak up for the President besides those of us on the internet. How about some of the Senators speaking up? I am so mad that I am spitting! Howard Fineman is a complete @&##*&@#!!!

They need to be called out by name. Senators/house members should be blasting the Mayor, the LSM and asking what they are doing to help? The media is clearly not attempting to help.

It figures the cat is leading and driving the dogs around.....typical. :)

Bush was not slow on this, he was the one who had to convince the LA governor/mayor to evacuate new orleans.

[Howlin]

You're exactly right.

[Soul Seeker]

Mayor (you are no Rudy Guiliani) Nagin was last seen happy the president was by his side amusingly enough. LOL

[RDTF]

Live on CNN now Bush, Nagin, Chertoff

[tcrlaf]

Let's watch NAGIN praise BUSH and cut the governor!

[Txsleuth]

I guess Newsweek wants to continue the trend of losing readership.

I am just sure that red state American really wants to read a "hit piece" on Pres. Bush after watching all of this for the last week...

AFTER, listening to Cindy Sheehan for 2 weeks....

The race card should be: Why did the Mayor issue a mandatory evac order and have NO MEANS to evacuate people that had no means to leave? Just how were they to comply?

REPLY:
Maybe the mayor and governor should have thought about that when they were running for office.
However, for one thing they could have used all the 100's of school buses and many, many city buses now under water.

If you ask me, I doubt any one would be echoing these race baiting comments if these folks were white or brown skinned.

They probably would not give a tinkers damn if this happened to evil Whites and Hispanics.

Race should never be the issue when it comes to life and death.

However, the black race baiter's and their smug elitists radical liberal white supporters would certainly like it to be that way.

Cool! Joel Osteen will make his father (and his Father) proud!

Senator Vitter should be told to shut up. Bush and NRSC money worked like Hell to get him elected.

[oceanview]

I see some posts here that talk radio (Hannity) has taken off the gloves today. that's good news, its time to politicize this, so let's get to it.

[tiredoflaundry]

Let's just hope he watches his language!

[Howlin]

So, in essence, they have decided to use the victims of Hurrican Katrina as a soapbox.

Like I said, they are almost joyful at the carnage.

A thousand bottles. A thousand bottles of what? We didn't care, and Chavez and I went roaring up the ramp with that hand truck and found a little blonde lady in sunglasses waving us over.

I have a thousand Bibles for you guys to bring down.

So that's what he said. And she wasn't kidding, either. We piled those bad boys up three feet high and an old cowboy with an HLSR badge on his shirt helped us get the thing back down the ramp.

Thank you for making me smile. After getting food, water and shelter, I know I'd want one.

I'm right there with you on that one. There was no excuse for some of it. If not trash bags at least locating in one location, away from people. Silly, I thought about it too. Volunteering to minimize the filth they were exposed to. It would have at least kept them somewhat constructive and involved in regards to their own care.

Bush leaving airport. Hope he just flies out of Lousyana.

[leadpenny]

True. He can take it, though. I guess what I was keying on was when they were talking about the creation of the HSD. Congress has to take some of the blame for that unnecessary growth in the bureaucracy.
