"Untold Katrina stories" now on Oprah
well worth watching. I can't help but think of our own merh while watching this.

According to Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling, there is STILL no central oversight in the rebuilding efforts. They saw 2 backhoes; neither was working.

Nothing is being done to help the survivors of Katrina. :grr:

1. This is not surprising...
The * Cabal jumps from one fire to another never ever putting out the original fire.

These people have no vision for the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast.....they could have overseen some of the greatest rebirth of a portion of the US in history....and as usual they went for the quick dollar to get Halliburton in there to lock up the contracts.

They must be impeached!!

3. And Halliburtan is doing what they always do
they took the money, bought some equipment...then left it to rust and pocketed the profit. Trailers, backhoes, bulldozers, cranes-all sit, sinking deeper into the mud, while people survive the winter in thousands of tents and roofless home.

2. I wonder if Oprah will get a clue
in what is left of the last venues of free speech in AmeriKa instead of using her show for celebrity crap 90% of the time. How about she focus on where ameriKa has gone wrong and why the elected officials hate the little people. It is past time Oprah honey.
