Quote From: animalcatWhat happened down in New Orleans is just as tragic like 9/11 was. We do not understand things. There are lots of unanswered questions that everyone has. Blaming President Bush is not the right way to go. He is human just like everyone else, and to be honest, even the president himself makes mistakes, noone is perfect.
People handle things differently.
Yes we all are heartbroken over what took place that day in New Orleans. There is alot of reconstruction to be done and cleaning up to do. Everyone should pitch in and help those in need, out with what they need done. Without faith, everything is nothing but chaotic and messed up in this world. Instead of gripeing about everything and blaming someone, get out there and be of help yourself.
The President is the head of the country. The buck stops and starts with him. Did you not hear what Mayor Nagin said when he cursed on national television and then broke down and began to cry. Or have you chosen to forget that?
That is when things began to happen. Do you remember how many days that was after the flooding? Bush is the only one with the true authority to transend red tape. He could have called an emergency session of Congress and had the necessary monies and National Guard there to attend to the emergency. Is that not what took place in New York after 9/11?
You state, "everyone should pitch in and help those in need...". The question I ask you is, What have you done to help those in need. Giving money to the government...Red Cross included is sometimes not the answer. Take that money and get a group of people from your church and travel to New Orleans and pick two houses and repair them (as your home is) so the people can live in them and help them find a job. Then go back to your home and I can guarantee you, your heart will sing with joy a year from now.
You stop griping...get out there and be of help yourself!
