[gunnerv1]

Thank You janem4, I couldn't have said it better!

[gunnerv1]

Oh, Hi RandalDS, time to chastise me.

[gunnerv1]

Why should he mention N.O. They have the money, now just get off your butts and start working!

[randalds]

Sad that he didn't even mention New Orleans. He'd rather spend our tax money rebuilding a foreign region that keeps blowing everything and everyone up.

Classic neoconthink. Spend the money (and blood) overseas where they can really make profit on it. I mean is anyone left that's so stupid as to think the money we spend on Iraq is actually going there? It's being laundered through there and is moving directly into the bank accounts of the oil companies and the war contractors. Iraq is not a war, it's a transfer of cash from the taxpayers into private hands. Billions of dollars worth at that. It's grand larceny on a historic and nauseating scale.

Harder to get away with that kind of theft in New Orleans, even for republicans. though they have managed to skim 100 billion or so, so they're doing alright there.

If one wants to track the 'money', then go back to the 3 main 'companies' that are pre-approved to get government contracts were awarded those contracts. They in turn, sub-contract out. And those folks in turn, sub-contract out, etc. and so on.
It has been such a mess that when a 'local'
contractor wanted a piece of the pie, he was squeezed out.
It exposed such a madness, that the 'way' the contracts are awarded had been 're-worked' to be more 'open' to everyone.
It is a 'mess' and it is a 'process'.
And that still doesn't address the needs of those missplaced or are wanting to go back.

What is it he is supposed to say? And how many years is the government supposed to make Louisiana his priority? There are pressing issues to talk about today - not what happened years ago.

Bu$h couldn't mention New Orleans and be the Domestic Issues President, and Karl Rove knew it when he outlined the speech...

Is they not more important things to focus on than the number of words used on one subject?? It's time the state governments start cleaning their own laundry!!

[macusweil]

What do people in need suffering from the after affects of Katrina have to do with GOP (Gas, Oil & Petroleum)?

Nothing, so that's what they get!!
