Uncle I'm from Ohio and my senators are De Wine and Voinovich we are a Bush state and we worked damn hard to keep it that way.

I don't know where you are getting your information but you are incorrect.

I don't pretend to be an expert, I'm not but your Federal, State and Local representation is to blame to some degree for failing you, So yes even though I did give money to help your fellow Lousianians I do agree with much of post 15 ( Maybe not the screw em part). In the end you get the government that you deserve.....so work to get that. You have an opportunity to make I change of representation. I suggest you start by cleaning your own house before you tell me to clean mine.

I thought I had checked your homepage and saw a California flag but you are indeed from Ohio. Sorry about the mistake. You have to admit that anyone who has Boxer, Feinstein and Pelosi representing them has no business giving advise to others as to who they should elect, don't you?

The feds have been in control of the primary decisions concerning the future of New Orleans and the rest of the gulf coast for the past four and a half months because it is the feds who will foot the bill. Homeowners, property owners, business owners, and others are being held in limbo while Bush & company twiddle their thumbs. If they don't want to build Cat 5 levees, just say so & lots of folks will know what to do with their lives. The levee questions primarily drive the future of south Louisiana in general and the New Orleans metro area in particular. Commiting to anything short of Cat 5 protection (now or in near future) is telling those hundreds of thousands of decent, tax-paying American citizens of New Orleans not to rebuild but to live elswhere. Not what they might want to hear, and a terrible shame to this nation if it comes to that, but at least it allows these folks to move on out of the limbo they're in.

Who the local and state politicians are have nothing to do with the ability of the feds and Bush administration ability to make this determination. People are stranded all over the nation wanting to come home. Many of them have homes totally destroyed due to the failure of a levee system under the control of the U.S. Corps of Engineers as well as incompetant Levee boards. These levees were part of this nation's promise of safety to all who lived within them. The time is long overdue to either keep this promise or break it. Asking those who have been devastated by this catastrophe to wait any longer to find out is an act of cruelty.
