Comments on: McCain Knocks Bush's Response To Katrina

GOP Candidate Tours New Orleans, Says Residents' Plight Will Not Be Forgotten

[lovegetpeace]

If McCain say publicly the Iraq Invasion/War is a mistake, he got my vote on Nov 4, 2008

[kansas1946]

McCain called the response to Katrina "a perfect storm" of mismanagement by federal, state and local governments.
***********************************

Gosh, ya'' think?? Now if he also states that Iraq was a "storm of mismanagement" he might get somewhere.

[lovegetpeace]

My highest regards for a person like McCain who is routing the Republican Party away from the NeoCons. McCain is showing no respect for the Idiot NeoCons. That impresses me.

[garsh548]

lovegetpeace, I agree with you.

[garsh548]

I like that Mr. McCain stood up to N.C. GOP.

[lovegetpeace]

I thought McCain was a Republican. He sounds more like a Real Democrat. If he continues like that, I may vote for him.

[garsh548]

Mr. McCain is an interesting person and is showing some back bone. I think he will be his own boss. His decisions, I think will be his own.

[likeitis5050]

And knocks any attempt to force Obama to deal with his support of racist Wright...he doesn''t want to be president...wus.

[garsh548]

It''s a shame that the president thinks there''s nothing more to be done in New Orleans. His actions speaks volumes. Where is the love?

[greatdrivew]

McCain is recycling the "compassionate conservative" mantra? That''s the funniest thing I''ve heard all day!!

We the People see through the GOP and its say-anything ploys. It''s time to turn the page on these people.

Bush should get knocked on the Katrina response. I watched that on my TV and I could have ran a better response than he did. But their was also a lot of misinformation. The superdome''s basements were stalked with food but no one knew. Their weren''t any snippers either. Although it would have been nice if their had been at least one to shoot that police chief who closed the bridge and refused to help people.

I think McCain needs to learn two lessons from Katrina. thew Democrats should heed this advice also. First do not depend on the local and state governments to do their jobs. Second watch the news. You are not going to be in touch with the American people unless you spend an hour everyday watching the news. With Tivo you only need 40 minutes. The POTUS gets daily breifings but they should take advantage of the second opinion offered by the news services especially on domestic matters.

[r8erluvr-2009]

And McCain plays it just as we knew he would...playing "after-the-fact" where it is always easier to say and do a different thing!
What a moronic reply--"NEVER AGAIN!"
And I say to all who are intelligent, "NEVER AGAIN!"
NEVER AGAIN will I believe that a ''Bushie'' clone be in control!

What those people in New Orleans needed was a trained, ready National Guard. We didn''t have enough National Guard members in the area because so many had been shipped to Iraq. The National Guard is a very important force to help people in disasters, and should never be used in another country.

If McCain wants to keep troops in Iraq at a level where they can defend themselves for 100 years as he says we need to, he''s going to need to draft. Since men and women fight now, that draft would have to include young women. When rich white men''s daughters start getting drafted and sent to Iraq, there''s going to be some strong opposition to wars in general.

I am not sure how McCain can avoid criticism over the mess in New Orleans. Certainly Bush''s leadership in handling the Katrina disaster was poor. But the republican congress at the time was also complicit. The republicans were in power and controlled the government. And McCain was one of the republican leaders in congress that didn''t use their influence to do something even as the president was lacking in aid response. McCain and his colleagues stood by and let Brownie handle everything. So, instead of "Never Again", it should be "Why do you not influence your colleagues who were in power to do something even as people were waiting for Bush to send relief? McCain, you are not a very convincing leader..thank you for your service to our country but your ideas and actions are wanting. The American people do not need another leader who will continue the policies of George Bush II

[skyk-2009]

I am a supporter of Barack Obama ... but when I read of McCain''''s New Orleans remarks, I am encouraged by his leadership. I''''ve long thought our response to Karina was a low-water mark (!) for Bush. My youngest, son, has been down there three times now, each time taking along with him 100 high schoolers from his church. Good for you John McCain ... this is indeed the way to separate yourself from a very ineffective President (who surrounded himself with ineffective, almost evil, associates). Keep up the good work!

LOL YOU believed him?? ROFLMAO

[skyk-2009]

LOL This loser sit''s on his hands while the Bush Administration puts losers like Brownie in charge of FEMA and now tells people he''d have done things differently. He didn''t do his job the FIRST time, now who can say he will the second one??

The Day They Tried To Kill George?
News flash the year 1755! George Washington%u2019s army ambushed loses 714 men out of 1300 men. 85 American and British officers slain George is the last officer standing.
As one witness puts it %u201CIt was a massacre%u201D. George states in a letter to His brother,
%u201CBy the all powerful dispositions of providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation; for I have four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot out from under me.%u201D George would state that God had protected Him!
We go through a time warp 15 years later in 1770. George and James Craig go to a settlement, which is at the site of the previous battle. An old Indian who was the chief at the battle years earlier wanted to meet the man whom God protected. %u201CFor you see%u201D the chief said, %u201Cwhen we were in battle I told all my braves to kill all the officers. I saw you were an officer. I took aim and shot and nothing happen I took aim again and nothing happen. I took aim yet again and nothing happen to you. I did this for a total of 17 times. After that I told all the men cease firing at Him the Great Spirit is protecting Him.%u201D
So you see %u201CI have traveled a long and weary path that I might see the young warrior of the great battle%u2026I am come to pay homage to the man who is the particular favorite of Heaven, and who can never die in battle.%u201D

Hello my name is George Washington do you know Jesus?

[providence_a]

Can you see the battle cry for our next president? The smoke and ashes that lay everywhere can you see it. Where is the morality where is the justice where is the love nourished where individuals can find healing through the right sources of help for our country? I do not care who is president I only care that this individual would allow God and not themselves to figure out the solutions needed to make our country stand as it never stand before. Will you ask God with me for this?

[my5200-2009]

McCain is just playing politics. Beware of the wolf in sheep''s clothing. He is a warmonger who will use many of the same administration as Bush and will do nothing to help people that are losing their homes, he will do nothing to help people who cannot afford medical care. He will however, make sure that big business gets more money to spend outside our country.

[oscarez]

Looks like old John is trying to get his nose out of Bush''s back side.
