Typical conservative response....but you'd bail out the housing industry, the auto industry, and outsource our jobs...Find a rock.

Learn to spell

So



I don't believe in supernatuaral beings................period. Nor do I believe FEMA is going to be the first responder as they have never been through my over 50 years of dealing with hurricanes and hurricane recovery.

What? spelling wasn't a required course in school?
Well, I happen to believe in a supernatural being...which has got what to do with tea in China? No one said FEMA was supposed to be the "first responder"..where did you get that from.

Your say like mine is through our representitive government, the supplies were offered to the various states so that they could use them for needy people when needed. Louisiana turned them down.


" These items also were offered to all states -- yet Louisiana, where most of the people displaced by the storm live, passed on taking any of them.

John Medica, director of the Louisiana Federal Property Assistance Agency in Baton Rouge, said he was unaware that Katrina victims still had a need for the household supplies.

"We didn't have anybody out there who told us they wanted it," Medica said.

Instead, 16 other states took the free items.

"Louisiana Recovery Authority Director Paul Rainwater is taking the lead on determing where this serious breakdown in communication occured and ... is working to pursue options for the state to still make use of these important supplies," said Michael DiResto of the Division of Administration."

Well, it's clear to see that incompetence is not only a hallmark of FEMA, but also of state government agencies


And where do you get the idea I support the housing or other bailouts....strawdog. Stick to the subject.

This pisses me the f off. This is shameful beyond belief. Did you see the report on CNN with Campbell Brown????
Chertoff should go to jail for incompetence...and the agency dismantled.
Another gross mistake on the Bush/Cheney watch...or "sleep".

Lord, I thought you were a "thing of the past"...didn't I leave you at Political Fever....now you're over here, opining.
No. Sorry. I will never, ever stop blaming Bush/Cheney (spelling....somethings never change...a dictionary is helpful) for missteps, incompetence, poor judgment, and crimes and misdemeanors committed on their watch.
We're not talking about the mayor of New Orleans or the Governor...there is blame enough to go around....but when Bush proclaims, in a press conference, that he takes "full responsibility" for the poor response and the bureaucracy that ensued, what does that really mean? Does he, or doesn't he? If he does, then he "acts", post haste, to correct the errors...to fire folks that didn't do their jobs, and he makes sure help is rendered, even after the fact.....he did nothing...like he always does...he is a disgrace and a blithering idiot. And anyone who thinks otherwise, is also the same.

3 years later and folks are still pulling out the race card. This is not a "poor and black" issue.

And believe you me, nobody pulls out and plays the race card better than you and your minions...get out of the fog you're in, and breathe the fresh air of reality.

It was already reported on CNN that the governor took FEMA to task for giving away supplies meant for the Katrina refugees in LA...another state government official noted that there was a breakdown in communication which prevented the supplies getting to those in need...so, to say that LA "passed" on the goods, is inaccurate, and misleading.


I'll get right on that.



You seem to have a sense of entitlement going, which is inappropriate. I don't know about you but I am here for positive exchanges of ideas and opinions. My suggestion is that you don't start your flame game here. I really don't think that it is constructive for this forum.

BTW, I've been here since March 2008.
