Times-Picayune: An open letter to the President

OUR OPINIONS: An open letter to the President
Dear Mr. President:

We heard you loud and clear Friday when you visited our devastated city and the Gulf Coast and said, "What is not working, we’re going to make it right."

Please forgive us if we wait to see proof of your promise before believing you. But we have good reason for our skepticism.

...snip...

State Rep. Karen Carter was right Friday when she said the city didn’t have but two urgent needs: "Buses! And gas!" Every official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency should be fired, Director Michael Brown especially.

In a nationally televised interview Thursday night, he said his agency hadn’t known until that day that thousands of storm victims were stranded at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. He gave another nationally televised interview the next morning and said, "We’ve provided food to the people at the Convention Center so that they’ve gotten at least one, if not two meals, every single day."

Lies don’t get more bald-faced than that, Mr. President.

1. Interesting... and criminal

If you check the DU posts over the past week you can see WE all knew how bad it was, we all knew where the victims had gathered and WERE TOLD TO GATHER, yet somehow, miraculously, this administration has missed many major facts in this horrific event. They are pathological liars; so experienced in lies that they can't understand the backlash.

2. Yet the idolatrous crowds will continue to chant: four more years, four

more years while most of the MSM shill and the Congress votes to give him his over wish in virtual lockstep fashion.

4. Second cousins to the idolatrous crowds shouting "Seig Heil!"

Truthfully, all Totalitarians share the same unquestioning obedience.

3. Russert reported today that the Times-Picayune

ran a series of articles in 2002 that predicted a failure in the levees in case of a major hurricane.

5. Great. So now the FEMA chief will be the scapegot

while Bush will gloat and say: you see, I fired him..

Hey, I was on vacation, visiting California, using scarce military personnel from Camp Pendleton for a photo op instead of loading them and sending them to New Orleans... It is HIM who should be blamed.

7. pResident "The Buck Passes Here" Bush

:grr:

... and the GOP used to supposedly be the "Grand Old Party" of personal responsibility. I guess "personal" means someone or ANYONE else to them now eh?
