U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters: Rescue delay shows "class division"
Saturday, Sept. 3, 2005 8:00 p.m. U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-California, arrived in Baton Rouge on Saturday with one message to President Bush and federal rescue agencies:
"Get it done," Waters said. "I thought I'd seen a lot. Don't forget, I'm from Los Angeles," where there has been a documented history of rioting. "But nothing like this. To see dead bodies on the street just unnerves me."
Waters said she came in response to the vast scope of the catastrophe, and was flanked by her friend State Sen. Cleo Fields, D-Baton Rouge. At about 4 p.m. on Saturday, Waters said she was leaving to ride a bus with evacuees from New Orleans. "To give them water, to give them comfort," she said at the Emergency Operations Center in Baton Rouge

Did she really take up a seat on a bus evacuating people for a photo op?

Must have missed her space on Sean Penn's boat.

Maybe it will take this great tragedy for people to realize once and for all that those who cry racism loudest are the biggest racists. But I won't hold my breath.

Without Racial unrest, she and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have no careers. They have to create it were it does not exist.

Absolutely. Hardworking tax payers yet again bailing out welfare recipients and getting a "What took your *ss so long" for a thank you.

Times-Picayune | 8/28/2005 | Times-Picayune (AP) Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have called for the Impeachment of President GW Bush after Bush federalized the City of New Orleans. Lt. Gen. [Russel] Honore took control of the Mayor's office on Friday as thousand of residence were loaded onto school buses to get them out of the city, 72 hours as mandated, prior to the projected landing of Katrina...

What business does a Rep from CA have in NOLA?
Not a damn thing other than posing and causing trouble, IMO.

I wondered how long it would take for this harridan to finally get hold of a microphone and start blathering.
...But I have to grudgingly admit that she's right about getting things back in order. If only she didn't play the old Race Card, maybe then I'd have a little more respect for her.

Good Gawd, is that waste of skin still around causing trouble?
I'd hoped that carrying around all that ugly on top of all that stupid would have done her in by now...

Waters said the delay in rescuing the stranded masses of people in the New Orleans region shows "a class division."Yep,I saw white people rescuing black people.Class division and racism at it finest.I even saw rescuers asking for peoples Gold Cards to insure that no underclass citizens got on board first.(extreme sarcasm)

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-California, arrived in Baton Rouge on Saturday Where was SHE until now? The president has already visited the region.
Did she wait until HER vacation was over?
I HATE these liberal mouths.

I'm in the mean SOB mode about this.
It's time to throw the racism charges right back at the Democrats. Who was the primary delay in the evacuation, and getting aid to NOLA? The Democrat governor (white) of Louisiana. The Democrat governor (white) of Louisiana ignored the President regarding mandatory evacuation, and refused the suggestion of putting the NG under Federal control, instead having a Clintonista run the "effort". And why? Because of political pettiness, don't want to be seen taking a recommendation from a Republican! Yeppers, petty image concerns are more important than getting the hard work done (got to put a /sarcasm after that sentence).
BTW, I'm white (polish-scots-irish).
Do the people of Louisiana now wish they should have voted for Bobby Jindal?
