President Bush. I lived in Ohio in the 70′s when the tornando came

through Zenia. Guess what FEMA came in 4 days afterwards and no one

was screaming racisim. Give it a rest!!!

If in fact you are one of the evacuees from Katrina, my heart goes out to you and all the victims of this disaster.

As to your comment about it being a local issue first, that is the way disaster relief is, and has been, set up for many years. As I have stated earlier in this thread, the Federal Government recognizes “States Rights”. It IS the job of the local and state officials to assess the damages, and call for any outside help if/when needed. By law, FEMA cannot move in to help until asked by the State officials. Not only did the LA Governor NOT ask FEMA to come in, she wouldn’t let the Red Cross and Salvation Army in the first two days after the storm.

Too many people suffering, too many people pointing fingers of blame, too many people living in a reclaimed swamp where homes should have never been built in the first place, too many people who did not evacuate when they were told to.

Ray Nagin is a piece of sh*t. He is suppose to be a man of the people and he wasn’t. The bottom line is that people can blame FEMA (who is partly responsible)all they want but at the end of the day Nagin failed his people. He let 700 international visitors and his staff get on the buses at at the Superdome before his people, who had been waiting there for days. Keep in mind his staff and the tourists were all clean and safe because they were staying with Nagin at the Hyatt Hotel. While his people had to endure sub-human conditions and excessive violence and rapes.

Why the hell didn’t this a**hole use the buses, when he had the chance? He could have potentially evacuated 13,000 residents, prior to the storm. He told the people to go to the Superdome, and it wasn’t even safe. He is a piece of sh*t and he should resign immediately. And don’t even get me started on Blanco, what a friggin’ waste.

I AM SORRY IF I AFFENDED YOU. FIRST IAM UPSET THAT RAY NAGIN DIDNT HAVE THE PUMPS READY, PLUS OTHER FAULTS. NO I HAVE NOT SET AROUND AND DONE NOPTHING. I PRAY FOR YOUR AND EVERY ELSES SAFTY AND COMFORT. MABY THE MONEY I SENT FEED YOU A MEAL OR GAVE YOU WATER IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE DISPLACED. YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO HOW YOU WORD THINGS. THE PEOPLE TRYING TO HELP ARE THE ONES YOU JUMP. IAM PRAYING FOR YOU ALSO K. BELL.

You people saying “the government should have” do you not realize Nagin is the first link in the government? Apparently he is also the weakest link.

Your opinion speaks volumns about the kind of tragedies

that you have encountered. I have worked catastrophes

and I assure you that if it were you in trouble, no

matter how small, you would find that your needs would

be of utmost importance to you. You are a selfish unkind person that has no concept of how this place smells

or how hungry its people, or thirsty, or frightened, they still are. People like you should be forced to visit 3rd would countries and see the horror of it all. In fact it would probably do most americans some good.

, flowers, dirt, sand , animals, fish, trees, rainbows and soo… many other different things.

But the smartiest thing he mad was humans and they fight over what he loves the most. Difference!

God loves all of us how dare we not love each other

I don’t want to be in the shoes of a person who hated all thier lives difference, when getting before him and explaining thier behavior on earth

mainly because their part of the evil in this country.. Ray Nagin tells

it like it is, and I respect a man for that. People like Jan Estes

obviously is one of the self rightious fake people that are clueless,

that actually add to the problem. He done all he could do, at least he wasn’t sucking the Presidents ass. President Bushwhack should be

impeached, Bush has done nothing but ruin this country. Come on people

this country was founded on God, but yet the people take away public

right to worship God, to take God out of our Pledge and take it off

our public building because some atheist or devil lover was offended?

That is proof of a demise of a country, but of coarse what can you

expect from a society that says it is more socially acceptable to be

a homosexual, then a Christian in a monogomous faithful marriage, a

society that says we can’t raise our children we should let TV and

the Goverment do it for us, look at our past generations and compare

them to today, I have alot more respect for my parents and grandparents

then I every have for the young ones today.

So in closing Hell yes Ray Nagin is a good man and done what he could

so what if he had a few slips of the tongue it happens especially in a

heated or emotional moment, I certainly don’t condemn the man for that.

I would vote for the man in a heartbeat for President to come clean up

the mess baby bush has made..
