With school, work and no bots or workers to help me, it is completely impossible to keep up with all the garbage the administration is throwing at American... or should I say New Orleans. Is America too dense to see someone force fed Bush the word "stabilize" so the National Guard could go gun slinging before anyone is allowed to help in the city?

Apparently in Jefferson Parish, according to Parish President Aaron Broussard:
“Let me give you just three quick examples. We had Wal-Mart deliver three trucks of water, trailer trucks of water. FEMA turned them back. They said we didn’t need them. This was a week ago. FEMA–we had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a Coast Guard vessel docked in my parish. The Coast Guard said, “Come get the fuel right away.” When we got there with our trucks, they got a word. “FEMA says don’t give you the fuel.” Yesterday–yesterday–FEMA comes in and cuts all of our emergency communication lines. They cut them without notice. Our sheriff, Harry Lee, goes back in, he reconnects the line. He posts armed guards on our line and says, “No one is getting near these lines.” Sheriff Harry Lee said that if America–American government would have responded like Wal-Mart has responded, we wouldn’t be in this crisis. ”
This is from Meet the Press with Tim Russert, from Sept 4, 2005.
At the same time not even Red Cross was allowed to give aid in New Orleans. The National Guard was ordered to keep everyone out until the situation was stabalized. Bush started asking for people to donate to Red Cross.
Maybe this is it. Maybe his response time is just slow. I seriously can't continue writing on this. Just donate to Red Cross
