"I think no-one envisaged that it wold be this bad,..."

The "breaking of the levees and the tens of thousands of deaths"
was
predicted precisely on NPR radio just days before Katerina made
landfall.

The prediction was NOT unique.

Bush, whose family owns a residence in the oil refining center of
Belle
Chase immeadiately alongside the river and levees, chose, in lieu
of
presiding over and mobilizing National Guard, all available
transportation outifts, Army Corps of Engineers, etc., he went to
Arizona to push "Social Security."


Um.... The democratic Governor is the one in charge of mobilizing
the
NG,
not the pres. That is sort of the reason for the NG.

Don't confuse him with facts.

Actually now that I read this again.

The NPR prediction is pretty impressive. How did they do it? Let me
see.....a cat 5 storm is about to hit a city that has levies designed
for
a
cat 3 storm. With such little information and only days before the
storm
hit, how did NPR make the prediction?

Maybe because they've been making that prediction for years? I made
the
same
prediction years ago, when I got out of Louisiana.

Or is this the new liberal way? When the local democrats fail, blame
Bush.

But you don't seem bothered that the Republicans like to blame
everything and anything on Clinton and the Democrats. Chris, you can
not have it both ways. Both parties suck and I am sick and tired of
hearing about how the Republicans are so far superior to the Democrats
because they are not. They aren't even conservative anymore and that
makes them assholes in my book.

If anyone heard the NO mayor cursing up a storm on a radio interview the
other day, it is clear were a good part of the problem lies. Sounded
more
like a street thug, than a Mayor. One quote I remember "We need to stop
givin G@# D@# interviews, and solve the G&*# D#% problem at hand".

Graphic,
You are correct, as both parties suck. Nothing could be further from the
truth that is for sure. I just pick what I think is the lesser of the two
evils. . If Clinton was being blamed for the LA Govenors lack of
response I would of corrected that as well.

He was at his wit's end Chris and people were dying like flies out
there. Give him a break.

There is some level of tolerance, but if you heard the interview....... I
guess this is were we separate the men from the boys. No type of leader
gets up on public radio and curses, uses foul language, and is generally
out
of control God forbid if any president got up on the radio and used
anywhere of 10% of the language he used. I heard it on TV and actually
had
to look at the screen to ensure myself that I was indeed listening to an
elected official. I honestly did think it was some kind of sick joke. A
normal speech translated into street thug. When things get rough, a
leaders
true ability shines through. He must of used the term "G%^d D$%n" 50
times.
I am sure that we will see him in front of the cameras on Sunday, going to
church.

Ahhh I am sure that you can remember when Cheny used "F" word in the
Senate right on the floor. And of course we all have seen the picture
of Bush giving the finger to people so please don't talk about leaders
not using bad language in public. I agree but it seems that it only
bothered you because it happened to be a Democrat doing it this time.
Is that true?

Neither one of these are acceptable in my mind. Than again I would classify
them as slip-ups. Happens to the best of them. The mayor's speech was way
out of line and far from any slip-up. Heck we all slip-up from time to
time, forgive and forget. I would suggest listening to the speech. It was
not a slip-up. Constant use of foul language, street talk, etc. Makes no
difference if he was a repub or demo, people who thrust themselves into
leadership postions should be more controlled and refined. Not wasting time
baching either party when there is true work to be done.

Listen to the speech, or try to find a transcript of it. The tone and the
grammer is something I would expect from a street thug, not a mayor of
either party. Makes you wonder how he even made it into politics. Than
again they all have false fronts.



There is a SERIOUS catastrophe at hand down there, getting up on radio,
cursing, blaming, and losing control, is not helping anyone. Three hours
round trip I estimate it took him, three hours that WOULD of been very
well
used in some form of leadership. Than again we seem to think these days
that blaming, is some form of leadership.

I feel sorry for the people in general. After listening to the interview,
some of that sorrow was taken away. Anyone who elected this man into
office, is definitely partially to blame. This man does not have the
leadership to work as shift manager at McDonalds yet alone run one of our
great cities.

And the way I think is anyone who voted for Bush is partially to blame
for all of the misery and destruction he has caused.

No blame here, I refused to vote last election, as not one candidate
deserved it.

But......getting back to the original, you cannot blame Bush for not calling
out the NG. That is the Governors duty. If you blame Bush, then why have
governors with the duty in the first place.
