Playing the Blame Game
We should all take a lesson from the situation down south, but the conclusions being drawn by some are way out in left field. Had there been a category five hurricane barreling toward Cape Cod last Thursday, would there have been a different response because of our population's ethnic make up or economic status? The simple and honest answer is no! To twist this into a political, racial or social issue is just plain ignorant.
The reality is that these states were just slammed full-force by a nightmare storm. The humanitarian efforts afterward have not come close to meeting the needs of the victims or this situation. Do you honestly think that President Bush and everyone concerned is not trying there damnedest to remedy this? To suggest otherwise reeks of nothing but politics.
Now is a time for coming together to do whatever we can to help those in need. We must get our priorities straight! It is unfortunate that it takes these disastrous wake up calls to bring us together. The irresponsible finger pointing and politicizing of this tragedy shows that the concept of unity and support during these difficulties has been lost on some.

I think that we might have been a bit lax in our FEMA readiness. The governor of New Mexico offered up their National Guard a day before Katrina hit, but it took until Wed. for the paperwork to clear Washington. Why? With all the airbases located in Texas, Alabama, etc., why didn't they air drop supplies right away? These are the kinds of questions that are being thrown about. In anti-Bush fashion, the left is making it a political issue while people are suffering. Why don't they shut the hell up and offer some suggestions of relief, instead of finger pointing. Some probably believe Bush ordered up this monster to punish the underprivileged blacks and whites who voted against him last November!
Unfortunately, the delay in aide may have caused irreparable harm to the President's image. The black left wingers are trying to make this tragidy into a race issue and make the administration seem like the uncaring stepparent.
There are still some questions to ask the local New Orleans city govt. What have you been doing with the FEMA money all these years?
My prayers are with all who have suffered so greatly. I can't even imagine what they are going through. God bless them all.
