A Cry For Help

Transcript from Mayor Nagin of New Orleans saying how the federal government is dragging their asses to get relief to the gulf coast.

NAGIN: But we authorized $8 billion to go to Iraq lickety-quick. After 9/11, we gave the president unprecedented powers lickety-quick to take care of New York and other places.

Now, you mean to tell me that a place where most of your oil is coming through, a place that is so unique when you mention New Orleans anywhere around the world, everybody's eyes light up -- you mean to tell me that a place where you probably have thousands of people that have died and thousands more that are dying every day, that we can't figure out a way to authorize the resources that we need? Come on, man.

You know, I'm not one of those drug addicts. I am thinking very clearly.

And I don't know whose problem it is. I don't know whether it's the governor's problem. I don't know whether it's the president's problem, but somebody needs to get their ass on a plane and sit down, the two of them, and figure this out right now. (END QUOTE)

My Comments:
Lets think about this. The president was probably sitting in a class room reading to children when the hurricane hit. Then he was taken to an undisclosed location after the devastation for about 4 hours. Karl Rove et. al. decided that you cant declare war on hurricanes because hurricanes have no oil and they arent from the middle east. Furthermore, hurricanes couldnt possibly be linked to al qaeda although there was some intelligence that says al qaeda has the capability to produce hurricanes.

With all this the president decided that its not necessary to send any help to the gulf coast because it will not benefit the Carlisle Group. He also decided that going to the site of the devastation in New Orleans and stading on a detroyed home with a bullhorn and spouting words of encouragement would be futile. However, numberous Halliburton swift boats and medical teams have been rescuing oil workers and the refining stations.

What more proof do we need that the man who calls himself the president has no compassion and does not care about America!!!!!!!! Bush does NOT SUPPORT American CITIZENS and he does NOT SUPPORT the TROOPS!!!
