I just want to say: What’s new? It seems that people who are upset seem to be the loudest about their complaints and the turn to hating a person just because of their political position. There is always going to something you’re not going to be happy with. It’s not like someone can go and make natural disasters disappear.

I just want to say that I moved to New Orleans recently and I’ve never seen so much destruction in my life. It has always been my favorite city, and now I hardly recognize it. I cannot believe that the government has done nothing to help everyone there. It’s really sad, and it makes me ashamed of our government. I wish they would walk down the streets I walk down everyday and see what I see, and feel what I feel. It’s horrible.

I can only hope that this kind of distrust turns into putting so many of these lunatic politicians out of office. Louisianans will FINALLY see a party affiliation on their ballots other then Republican and Democratic starting with this next election. They’ll finally be able to vote for folks who distrust government just as much as they do and are willing to do something about it. Vote Libertarian, Louisiana!

YUP !
I was here for the whole thing, i still am.
i have never seen anyone from FEMA , still !
i got $3,000 for rental assistance.
(i did leave 3 days after the storm, and was gone for a few weeks)
But, my buisiness is gone. i lost over $100,000.
My life savings.
I had bought 2 rental properties JUST before the hurricane with my savings, and against the house i live in.
i didnt have time to get insurance on them, and they dont write policies when ther eis a storm in the gulf.

Bush had a tax plan for small buisiness.
but you have to make MORE than $250,000 a year.
thats SMALL buisiness ?
well, i sure dont qualify.

I drive through New Orleans daily, and hardly see a soul.
The Army Corp of engineers was responsible for building and upkeeping those levee’s,
and BUSH cut back on the $ we needed for the levee system, to use it for the war, ya know, those WMD that were not found?

makes me sick.
we killed 100,000 people in Iraq.
and everyone who died New Orleans, was killed by Bush’s policies.
The ones left like me,
Well, the article says it all.
depressed, cant sleep, always worried about the future.

God might have created the hurricane,
but Bush created the policy that failed us.

I believe that those African Americans were not treated the way that they should have been treated. There were not treated with respect. That historically black state will never be the same. Those people who walked away from that natural disaster. Millions of dollars were raised by Clinton and Red Cross. Where is all the money going to.
It brings such disgust to me, seeing George Bush smiling. Condalisa is black, but the only thing that makes her black is her skin. That lady is a sell, buying shoes when people in New Orleans didnt have any shoes on their feet or clothes on their back. Bush has a lot of nerve re-building Iraq, he does not have an obligation to there country. He has an obligation to this country, the United States. He took an oath to serve and protect this country. Millions of dollars being spent over their, instead of help his own country. If those were white people there, or it was his brothers state, it would have been a different outcome. This is the president that our nation is stuck with, because we didnt get out their in vote. In two years I believe that more African Americans will go vote. Very few white people can say that they understand what happen over their in New Orleans, because it would be like they were saying they understand what Black’s went through during slavery or segregation. There is still segregation. I hope Bush enjoys his sit in office because after he is going no one will remember him in a positive way. He has done more harm to our country then any other president.
