This is exactly how the country would like it to be handled, and it will continue to be handled the same way. We are not Socialists, we do not exist to help the needy. We exist to conquer and prosper. This is just about the finest example of that fact that I've ever seen.

Nor would I. Exposed Bush and his controllers are for the idiots they be.
If you were president right now, then you wouldn't have done a thing so as to expose Bush and his controllers for the idiots they be? Yet if you were president, Bush wouldn't be... unless you're Bush!
Please gtfo.

I would bitchslap the mayor and the governor for being tools. Then I wouldn't do things much differently, since the people on the ground are the ones really calling the shots.

You're right, the president personally directs everything the government does! The entire apparatus of the executive branch is simply a ruse to deflect responsibility. How could I have ever been so naive?

You know, he could do a little more than say "Oh Noes it's flooded" hug some people and leave.
lol... you make him sound like this "cart retrieval engineer" who works at the local krogers named corky... he does nothing but wail and hug.

If I were President? Well if I was Bush, I'd call Cheney in, if he's still alive, and issue him a blanket pardon for all acts. Then I'd resign and have some judge swear "uncle" Dick in. He signs MY families' pardon, and we all get on the plane to Quatar which has (suprise) offered asylum.
If "me" was Prez, I would have had the best person qualified heading FEMA and it would NOT be part of Homeland Security. Yes they overlap but I call that--Backup. >>10
No, but he is THE person responsible, HE'S where the fucking "buck" stops. >>11
It gets worse. He's so scared he sent Mommy into the Astrodome.
Mommy? She just made it worse saying in effect: "These people never had it so good."
Eisenhower would have done something different, Roosevelt would have done something different. Take any president. You can't say every president would all have acted the same as Bush has.

Exactly. Everybody knew this one was going to hurt--bad. Hell PBS even did a documentary about what would happen.
This is urban renewal. The first no-bid cost plus contracts for demolition and rebuilding have already gone to a Halliburton subsidiary.
The Louisiana National Guard is now rotating home, those that live, from Iraq. They have been assigned the "clean-up" (It's ya'lls own mess, Boy."), instead of a well-earned stand down.
Hey, it worked in Bhagdad.

It wasn't built under sea level. They built it on sea level and then it sank because they stopped the Mississippi's flooding system that added new silt.

Most likely he's only thinking about the flooding. I guess you could cover your house with mattresses on steel sticks to keep shit from busting you up.

I would stop the offering of subsidized flood insurance where no sane insurer would write policies! In *my* state if you can't get a flood certificate (i.e. land is not in the 100-year flood plain as determined by the U.S. Corp of Engineers), then you CAN'T BUILD THERE.
Dumbasses.

I thought everyone agreed that it's possible to build levies that would have withstood this storm. They decided to spend the money in Iraq instead.

Well... up until 48 hours before landfall, the director of the NWS was only 50% sure that it would hit NO. If you had X millions of dollars, and you were certain they would help American soldiers in Iraq, or 50% certain that they would help American citizens in NO, where would you put them?
It seems like an easy call to me.
Besides, if the US allows Iraq to become like Talibanist Afghanistan... well I think the only people who think that is a good idea are Talibanists. =\

You seem to have some weird ideas about what's going on in Iraq.
Well whatever, if you seriously disagree with me, state your premises and your conclusion and lets argue about it. But I'd bet that the US leaving Iraq right now would be much worse than than the US staying in Iraq. :P
If I were the president I would assembly my secret army of invicible super ninjas with real ultimate power, overthrow the senate and declare myself as the EMPEROR! Then to take over the world with beautiful nuclear explosions! After that I would molest cat-eared kids all the time while shooting stuff and it would be a glorious time of peace and prosperity.
