I watched a rebrodcast of an interview with New Orleans mayor Ray Nagan just befoer Katrina. He spoke of how prepared they were with boats and buses set up and at the ready for evacuation and that it was all under control. I remember him drinking a cup of Starbucks during the interview. I remember that during the flooding of New Orleans the then governor of Louisiana saying that everything was under control.
Obviously, mayor Nagan was not telling the truth and between him and the governor, nothing was under control.
The Obama administration has handled this the same way by telling us that they had it under control while matters grew worse for over a month. What might be the situation in the gulf if they had really taken control a month ago instead of just hoping that BP would get it under control before it got too bad.
To those of you who think that the states bordering the gulf should handle this, then why would anyone have ever expected the federal government to get involved in the Katrina mess. This happened more than 3 miles offshore of the nearest state under federal jurisdiction. It is All on the federal government whether folks in other states like it or not. This is going to be much more costly than Katrina, which, by the way, caused a flood problem in New Orleans. The hurricane only hit New Orleans a glancing blow. The destruction was due to the flooding of Lake Pontchartrain that overflowed and broke the levees. This is the same thing that happened in Nashville, a flood. No one even peeped that the government wasn't doing enough and that they hated the people of Nashville. this administration hasn't yet shown a bit of leadership in times of crisis and need. They are a complete, worthless zero on all counts. The only thing that Mr Obama and his administration has shown that they can do is bribe other politicians and abuse the power of the office with unethical offers in return for support.
excuse my spelling on some of the names, but, all the rest is right on

POTUS parties in Chicago - or has a date with Michelle while the country is in crisis. Just like Nero fiddling while Rome burned. That is bad enough - but then, he can't be bothered to lay a wreath at Arlington Cemetery in honor of our fallen military and those who serve??? What a flipping joke he and those who defend him are! That goes for the press who cover for him as well.

And Bush couldn't have stopped the hurricane....but that didn't seem to matter to the LAMEstream media and bedwetting liberals. All I know is, by 36 days, Bush was here about 8 times.

Barry, on the other hand, will be here on Friday (twice totally) before skipping Memorial Day at the tomb and heading for his 23rd vacation to Chicago.

Just a reminder, Obamie has about two months (August 2010) to pull our troops out of Iraq, or be once again branded a liar...

You are afraid that your social entitlements might get taken away? Leeches need a host to survive, are blind, and will suck you dry until they find another host.

----

Are you talking about Medicare, Social Security, and Medicade? So, that would mean TEA Baggers are leeches...Oh, we agree on that. You see I content that you never stop paying and living here in this nation has a price tag. It is one I willingly pay. I expect others to do the same.

Your conservative Regan political economics have come close to destroying this nation and I think you are all one card short of a full deck.

Now, I am going to bed.

Democrats have controlled the house and senate both for at least 68 of the last 80 years. But for a few years they controlled at least one of the two houses. They have had the presidency for 44 of those years. They have often controlled all 3 branches of government and have had the most opportunity to name appointments to the supreme court. They presently control the legislative and executive branch exclusively. There has never been a decade when democrats weren't in control of committees in congress overseeing every aspect of U.S. law and regulation. Including the past 5 1/2 years. There is absolutely no aspect of U.S. law or regulation that the democratic party hasn't had the opportunity to act upon or change. The only way anywhere possible that any thing at all goes on is with the acceptance or apathy of the democratic party and it's elected leaders
