he should not have used that phrase, it was so predictable that it would be quoted out of context and repeated again and again by the MSM.

I hope you are right - let's see if any momentum can build to tempering this "throw money at Louisiana until they stop complaining" approach. did you hear Blanco today - rattling off a list of things she wanted the feds to pay for, including the salaries of many state and local employees across LA.

anyway, there is plenty of time to debate this at another time.

Hey D & G (that is Doom and Gloom). When the heck are you going to stop harping on the issue of President Bush took responsibility on the federal level regarding hurricane katrina. I think he showed great leadership on this issue and people like that. May be cowards like you want to hide from taking any responsibility no matter how small it is. On the other hand great leader like President Bush take responsibility no matter how small it is because in this case the federal response problems were very minor compared to that of the local and state response of the corrupt state of Louisina.

You are making your own wrong stupid analysis as usual and connecting the President taking responsibility for the federal response to Katrina to the $ 250 billion that the stupid politicians in LA are asking for and you are assuming that the President will say OK "here is your check". First D &G the President do not write checks the Congress does. You do not even know the basic function to the government. Second neither this congress nor this President are going to give Louisiana $ 250 billion as your are suggesting because as usual you cannot be right on any analysis or prediction as your record on FR has shown.
