The Mississippi Gulf Coast was hit by a natural disaster called Katrina. New Orleans was hit by a man made disaster. There is nothing natural about the levys, they keep nature out. If the core of engineers had done the proper upkeep NO would not have had the major promblems it had. The people of the Gulf Coast picked themselves up and started rebuilding immediately, they did not wait for the calvary. The government was the extra help not the primary.

Let’s see if I can add something constructive to the discussion. This guy is scum! No wait, he would have to stand on a step ladder to reach the slimy under belly of scum! No wait, calling him scum is an insult to scum! Thank you for your kind attention.

Umm, I know the Inauguration was a big deal yesterday, but isn’t it odd to feature a pic of Capitol Hill as the main image on the WhiteHouse.Gov Web site?

As to the Katrina stuff – hey, that’s not so bad. He’s still pushing for us to sign a SoFA with Iraq. Which of course is already done. Guess they mothballed the Obama site in November and never bothered to update it when they turned the WhiteHouse site into his personal fantasyland.

Say, has anyone found any solicitations for funds on the site yet?

Katrina was never anything more than the liberals playing the race card to gin up phony MSM outrage for a scandel that was almost completely the fault of New Orleans & Louisiana governmental incompetence, both of which were controlled by the Democrats at the time.

It’s telling that the Obama administration will continue with this race-baiting.

So much for the post-racial President.

Just returned yesterday from the Crescent City and the people I spoke with are sick and tired of Chocolate Nagin – he will be out soon according to most. And the same folks said Bobby J. is doing good, honest work, as well!

And, for what it’s worth, they have really cleaned up the Vieux Carre – it’s almost too nice! (lol) I’m serious, though – they sweep and deodorize the place each night – in the morning, you can still see the bubbles in the gutters. Nice.

p.s. just saw the link to the above article on Yahoo! and they called the bios ‘candid’. Candid? Indeed. And seditious…

Excellent point. I would like to know exactly when and what Bush and Obama did.

Nagin is an idiot. Everyone (else) knows chocolate and water don’t mix.

Life is funny. One day there’s a real President and Vice President in the White House, and the next day they’ve been replaced by a thug and a dullard… (p.s. Sorry, I didn’t mean to post my comment here. I was responding to the article on the new Whitehouse.gov website. Don’t know what happened..)

The whole (and left out of all stories Katrina) point is that those who have nothing, lost nothing and don’t get any rebuilt homes and/or if you are a renter or welfare queen (or king) – whose going to replace your WHAT (it ain’t yours buddy)?!? It amazes me that anyone is not asking how someone who had nothing is suing for a gazillion dollars – at all. And of course here is the other dirty little secret that I’ve only seen once – it wasn’t the hurricane that killed the Big Easy – it was the flooding – and if you don’t have flood insurance (and I can only imagine how freakin expensive it is in below sea level beach front area) so they aren’t getting any financial help at all –

I guess this is The One’s ™ first backdoor attempt at reparations.

I also guess The One’s inability and/or un-willingness to sponsor any bills – is the main reason that the Obamamedia didn’t ask and/or report on his 143 days in the Senate. Maybe then American’s would know exactly how inexperienced the man is.

12Ga. – Have family in Key West that went through the storm. It was brutal by all accounts and YES – they picked themselves right up and started rebuilding. Matter of fact – they had nice things to say about FEMA’s help and all .

But the fact of the matter is that they started cleaning up right away, getting their stuff in order, rebuilding , etc. It is those make or break moments that define people. Key West succeeded with flying colors ( no pun intended ) and N.O. just failed miserably.

I was stationed at Camp Shelby, MS. and one of our duties was disaster response and military support to FEMA (transportation assets etc. – federal military operations are limited by law). Planning times are as follows: 24-48 hours is local government response. Sometime between 24-48 hours up to 72 hours the state government has response requirements. 72 hours and after FEMA takes over the disaster response.

Guess what – the federal government met that response timeline. It was the utter failure of the state and local governments response that was criminally negligient. They have responsibilty for little things like evacuation planning and execution, police and fire support, national guard mobilization (if the Feds mobilize the guard then they are Federal troops and pick up the same limitations we have on active status) etc. etc.

Also, the levies were funded by federal grants that the state of LA would divert to the general fund in state budgets. I have no idea where the money was spent, but it didn’t go into levy upgrades and maintenance.

The only thing the Feds truely did wrong was firing the FEMA chief for LA state and local government failures.

My memory is recalling about when Obama and Biden both voted for the Bridge to Nowhere…especially the second time when they were trying to defer the funds to help fix some bridges down in New Orleans.

Glad to see he’s still keeping a objective mind about things.

Gotta love the WH propaganda site.

There of course is no truth, only what the MSM and Obama want you to know.
