Instead? You know that he has not done any of these things? Please offer your source. Otherwise, please stop fabricating lies to reinforce your political presuppositions. I personally think Bush has the political prowess of a malignant pet rock, but I have no right whatsoever to pretend that he doesn't care about the victims of Katrina - and, in my opinion, neither do you.Prophet Rashad said:
If there were middle class white street gangs on the loose, and middle class white people storming buses and helicopters whenever they arrived to evacuate people, and middle class white people firing shots at rescue helicopters, and middle class prisoners roaming around who had to be released from flooded prisons, and if the harbor was filled with floating debris, and if a levy broke and started to flood the roads around the middle class white people making the area extremely inaccessible, and if there were 10,000 middle class white people who all needed transport, then yes I think it would a few days, and I don't think GW would have much to do with it in any case. :banghead3michel said:
No - it was what I had noticed from the news programmes I had seen; nearly all of those filmed were black; it was not a great leap to deduce that they were too poor to have escaped within the 48 hours notice - even though it appears I was wrong to do so - again, I apologise.Mr_Spinkles said:michel-- Oh, don't apologize--it's cool.
Is the European press casting the problem as racial rather than logistical?
I could be wrong, but I think there's a reasonably biggish black population there from what we've been seeing here. The people on the news collapsing from lack of insulin are black, the people being rescued out of their attic windows are black, the pictures we're seeing of people looting stores are black people, the cops sitting in their patrol cars crying because they can't handle it anymore are black...even on the US news sites I've been reading articles about the whole thing, I think I've seen pictures of 1 white family.michel said:No - it was what I had noticed from the news programmes I had seen; nearly all of those filmed were black; it was not a great leap to deduce that they were too poor to have escaped within the 48 hours notice - even though it appears I was wrong to do so - again, I apologise.
As far as some of the looters are concerned, I was even imagining myself there, with a wife and children to support - looting food would have had to have been a serious consideration...........
Deut: I think you are sufficiently busy posting your own pompous, more-intelligent-and-knowledgeable-than-thou put-downs of other posters; you should not waste your valuable time hypothesizing about what my nonexistent posts might have been.Deut. 32.8 said:
His personal sacrifice could be to share his home with some victims of Katrina to get to know "up-close-and personal" how they have suffered--thereby, setting an example for others to do likewise.
What I do is none of your business; what the President of the United States does is everyone's business.
I know it can't be easy for you guys, but i'd prefer the whole subject to go on Ignore; what is done is done - the now is what counts - and the future. Let us at least hope that if New Orleans is rebuilt, it is done with the fact of where it is uppermost in the architects' minds.retrorich said:You're right, Jensa. I guess what I should do in this case is use the ignore list option. The fact that I haven't done so yet could be an indication that I am a bit of a masochist.
I have no political presumptions I love our President I voted for him. But he did drag his feet on this one. I never said he did not care or have personal feelings for the victims of this Disaster. I know for a fact he has appropriated 10+ Billion dollars from the federal govt and that is a fact and if the President had hosted some people at his ranch we would know about it and if he had donated personal money he would have said so. For you to say your pet rock comment who has political presumptions?Deut. 32.8 said:

You make a good point; however, my wife made the comment today about the cost incurred in GW 'popping down' to the south in Airforce 1 just to smile and say - "I'm sorry....."
How much must those trips cost ?
), and duuuh(?) Bush is too? I mean, the idiots a KKK texas ranger moron, who doesn't give a **** about anyone? Other than himself. And his wallet.
