You shoould know I am NO fan of Bush, but all the flack he is getting over this disaster is in some respect misplaced. This is, however, something to be concerned about - his failed policies as far as the joke called "Homeland Security" . Remember when the Dept. of "H.S." was created it was at the time studying what OUR response would be to an attack, and those included places like Boulder Dam ,etc? The Dept. of "H.S." was ONLY successful in hiring ten of thousands of new TAXPAYER PAID employees with more benefits than you and I will ever see. But once again, it is a Government Program. Homeland Security didn't do much to help La.
First, the National Guard should have been alerted before the disaster not TWO days later. It is the JOB of the Governor of the State, NOT the Federal Government to activate the Guard. Second, the Mayor of New Orleans is NOW screaming "Racism" because most of those stranded are African-Americans. But I find it odd that ALL the mayors since 1978 have Been African-American yet collectively they to a person have done NOTHING to improve the plight of the poor. Was that W's fault? What about the City allocating 600 Million Dollars for a NEW FOOTBALL Stadium and NOT to fix the levies? Was that "W's" fault? Was it "W" fault that citizens were firing at rescue helicopters?
