I mean, if he’s expected to fulfill the duties of those positions PLUS the Louisiana legislature PLUS the New Orleans city council, is he going to be collecting a pension from all those roles?
And why are we paying the people actually IN those positions? Aren’t they supposed to be doing the actual job of rebuilding New Orleans?
Oh, I guess those are all just for show. Their main (and only) job is to point to Bush and complain.
It was really funny watching the aftermath of the hurricane going through Mexico. Within hours, the Mexicans were up on their roofs, nailing things back together, repairing walls, replacing doors, fixing windows.
I guess it just goes to show, while MOST normal people roll up their sleeves and get to work, there are still lots of people in America who think "the government" is going to come to their rescue and they just need to sit and wait while the work gets done for them by someone else.
So pathetic. Cry me a river New Orleans.
America, not just Bush, owes NOTHING to New Orleans.
2 years before Katrina even hit, there was a Frontline documentary about how unprepared they were for a major hurricane, how NO is basically a bowl under sea level, and a single breach of the levee system would be catastrophic.
But, not to worry (PBS assured us), the DEMOCRAT governor and mayor were receiving hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars to reinforce the levee system and insure this would never, ever, possibly happen.
Then it did happen.
So what happened to all that money?
Well, it turns out, they had other needs for it. More important needs.
And this, somehow, is not only Bush’s fault, but all American’s fault?
Sorry, it doesn’t wash.
And what happened to the very people DESERVING the blame for this catastrophe? They got re-elected. Overwhelmingly so.
The true definition of INSANITY.
