    I feel let down by my Government.

    People are dying in New Orleans and the government is trying to figure out how much to charge us for oil.

    No relief, no supplies...

    Very dissapointing time in America's History.

    Our own Government is failing us.
    I hope this is wake up call to all Americans that pay taxes.

      It is not the government, it is the fucking lack of refineries that should of been built but the tree huggers said no.

              Yeah spend the money on Iraq "HERE" in this country....

              Get the military in there to stop the looters and rebuild. Drop food and water by plane, etc.

              More can be done and faster.

                  its very sad, maybe if they got to food to those people quicker .The looting wouldnt of happened as bad. I think they have problems first I think they have a national guard shortage in this country and also NO is full of poor people and lower middle class which they really dont care about .

                                      Seriously what the fuck are our taxes for?

                                      I really can not watch the news coverage of New Orleans anymore it seriously sickens me.

                                      I know America will pull through, we will do just fine but seriously Americans we goto start questioning our government and its actions and what it does with our money.

                                      We pay taxes these asshole politicians spend it on crap and blame others with no accountability.

                                      We are being bullshitted.

                                          Also, many people saw this coming. The government should have spent more money on better levees and pumps, etc. The damages are going to be much worse than 9/11

                                                      Yep everyone in a position to do something since then is to blame including all the presidents, not just Bush.

                                                              kinda makes me wonder what all those trucks were unloading and handing to people on tv all day.. and who those people were being plucked up by helicopters.. and shit.

                                                              just a thought... but maybe when your elected officials say get out of town, hell is coming... it might be a smart idea to listen.

The city is one of the poorest in the nation and it is crazy without a hurricane. I spent a week there a few years back and I was in several situations where I thought I was going to get mugged by a pack of people. There's a lot of cool stuff to do and see there, but man the crime is extreme.

They'll swarm the cops and kill them. Arrest them? Where you going to put them? The police have no communications, no working patrol cars, not enough boats. They can't function either. You think they even give a fuck about a bunch of looters when they have probably lost everything too and have families to worry about. I bet half the cops just said fuck this and split town.

Thousands are probably already dead and it's going to get worse. Massive rebuilding needs to be done. The whole city is being evacuated and shut down. That's just unbelievably bad. And Bush is taking his time deciding what to do......

                                                                                          Did you see that Bush is handing out loans to the oil companies to repair the damage. Record profits and they get loans. Ya think those poor people who lost everything with get the same worry and care from our pres?

I would hate having the job as president, Rep or Dem because this situation is just fucking beyond imagination.

                                                                                                          we gave 300 mil to the tsunami to build them concrete homes in place of there huts. who do you think gets all the money. the big contracts for bush's friends..it just sounds god when we say it was relief money. watch them take all your tax money. the rich only get more rich when republicans run the gov.

I would hate having the job as president, Rep or Dem because this situation is just fucking beyond imagination.

                                                                                                                      Very true, but don't ya think he should have been doing something yesterday, instead of selling his war in Iraq in california? Or maybe the day it was supposed to hit. A category 5 hurricane is heading towards one of our largest port cities, you would think he would be at his desk staying on top of the situation. Not sitting in crawford on vacation.

Whether this was caused by Global Warming or not, something needs to be done about it.

The Gulf Coast has tens of thousands of National Guards at its disposal that it is preparing to utilize, what more could the military do on top of that? This stuff takes time to get in motion. My God people, what more do you want done?

The Gulf Coast has tens of thousands of National Guards at its disposal that it is preparing to utilize, what more could the military do on top of that? This stuff takes time to get in motion. My God people, what more do you want done?

Think of what all those billions going to Iraq could be spent on domestically. They knew what a major hurricane could do and they didn't do enough to prevent it. It should have been a top priority. Why the hell do we need to spend all this money and lives in this senseless war that is going nowhere? The government itself said they are planning on at least 4 more years and that seems like a conservative estimate. WTF happened to Afghanistan where the real terrorist were?

Nobody did anything. NOTHING. Now that it finally does happen, you blame the current President because one day he should have just woke up and said "by golly, let's protect New Orleans!"

How do you prepare a whole region for a massive natural disaster within 4 days?

There should have been more resources for more rapid response.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      I'm not sure whether Global Warming had any effect on this, but there are signs all over that Global Warming is a fact and that something needs to be done now, should have been done already, but Bush won't sign Kyoto, so we are the only industrialized nation in the world not too. Plus he won't make businesses cut emissions, instead he makes it voluntary and of course they aren't going to do it unless they are forced to.
