You guys make me sick bashing the President.
If you're so f*cking indignant, get off your f*cking arses and head down to help out and clean up.
Right now relief organizations need CASH to buy stuff (doubtful you'll fork any up, since you're saving up for gas money for fishing, right), and medical personnel (doesn't sound like any of you are qualified). Later down the road they'll need people to help rebuild the infrastructure - that means contracters. Doubtful any of you will donate your skilled labor if there's nothing in it for you. Put up or shut the f*ck up, and get this through your thick useless uninformed skulls:
1. As much as you would have like the Prez to get on the telly last week and tell people to pack up,
it was up to the governor of LA and the mayors of LA's respective towns to order an evacuation in a timely manner. Despite a lot of hand wringing and crying, the order wasn't given until it was too late.
If anyone should be excoriated publicly, it should be the governor of Louisana and the mayor of New Orleans.
2. Nobody realized the enormity of the situation until rather late. The storm turned quickly and unexpectedly. This is the first time an entire U.S. City has been taken out by a natural disaster.
3. It was up to the states to ask for federal help. State and local officials were slow to ask for that help.
4. In any disaster, there are going to be huge chaotic clusterf*cks - that's the nature of the "fog" of tragedy. In the future, you should be able to pin early confusion on INABILITY TO COMMUNICATE.
And if ANY of you want to say to my face that "Bush doesn't care about black people," ...
... I will personally spit in all of your useless crybaby faces.
