OMG...did you just catch McCain’s list of failures.
He’s such a downer. I wonder if he’s meds have worn off.
McCain is riding the straight talk express right down the tubes...
Charming, wasn't it?
That's the way to win over Republican hearts in the primaries, with straight talk that leaves out the other side of the coin and just recites a Democrat mantra POV.
However, it was the worst natural disaster in our history. Over huge Gulf coast area the size of Great Britain. Katrina 30,000 people rescued from roof tops. Mandatory evacuation issued too late due to foot dragging by Mayor and Governor despite Bush pushing them to do that. Refusing to have the National Guard federalized for more efficient operation, so a woman wouldn't look weak and unable to run a military operation. Money allocated to shore up the levies and spent by their parochial system for shoring up their vote getting, with more in the pipeline before it could be used. Legislature voted against waiving liability for charitable organizations who would volunteer for private vehicles and buses to get the poor and disabled out of New Orleans. ETc. ETc.
That's a litany of failure for local government, not the feds.
