(24,396 posts)as though we're supposed to care more about what did NOT happen following 9/11/01 (or what has happened on Obama's watch) rather than what DID happen ON 09/11/01! It's especially galling knowing that they had months of warnings about 09/11/01 as well.

(42,744 posts)An entire region was left to fend for itself for days in one of the most devastating storms to ever hit the USA. BushCo only started to take relief measures after he was shamed into action days later. In the meantime over 1800 lives were lost and billion$ of dollars in damage was done.
