I was hoping I would come to this thread and you would report that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton had both sworn off having their pictures taken and statements reported. ;) That would have went a long ways toward improving race relations. But your news is good. Exposure to the kindness of...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/03/AR2005090301680.html Behind the scenes, a power struggle emerged, as federal officials tried to wrest authority from Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco (D). Shortly before midnight Friday, the Bush administration sent her a...

Thank you. I have an uncle and 5 cousins who live in Ocean Springs. Six different residences scattered over the city. They report they are all fine but have some property damage. They also report that their National Guard has been supplying the community with aid since day 1. The only ones...

Landrieu is being slightly disingenious: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/9/4/124905.shtml Gov. Kathleen Blanco Refused Bush Aid Though her state has been devastated by Hurricane Katrina and thousands are believed dead in New Orleans, Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco has refused to allow...

It is my personal opinion that it is those who can't, or won't, see the incompetence exhibited by President Bush during the past week who are at least somewhat delusional. I think they are allowing political loyalties to cloud their judgment. [/b]</font> That must mean that you also believe the...

President Bush and Governor Blanco are the incompetent ones. Mayors of cities are not there for major disaster relief. That is a State responsibility, and in a massive situation like this one, a federal responsibility. No mayor, no city, can handle the situation that has happened in New...

Is the mayor black? If he is the PC police will be after us soon. Or Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton will be here screaming racism. But only if there are cameras around.

New Orleans needs a new mayor. Almost anyone will do ...except maybe the governor. :D

Gentlemen, this post is not a riddle. It's rather easy to get the point. FTR, the President doesn't need any authority to make a suggestion. The point is, he has been severely criticized by media, politicians, special interest groups, and members of this forum for not being more of a force to...

The Governor of Louisiana did not mobilize her National Guard until the following day, Aug. 29. Why the delay?

Political theater. Troops he knows he won't have to provide. Oil only to the benefit of the poor he knows he can't provide. And Cash he probably won't provide. I'll wait and see about the cash. The others are smoke and mirrors.

It's hard to excuse boorish behavior even under these circumstances. I think it's an outward display of the entitlement mentality of a great many Americans, maybe even a majority.

Were the reporters the same?
