ABC News Coverage of President Bush's speech
Coverage of Presidential Speech | ABC New

Posted on 09/15/2005 6:38:09 PM PDT by notpoliticallycorewrecked

After President Bush's speech an ABC new correspondant interviewed a few of those that are displaced by the hurricane.

It was a priceless moment. A middle age Black woman was asked if she was angry at President Bush because of the slow response of the federal goverment. She hit the nail on the head with her reply. She stated that she was not angry at Bush, but that she was angry at Nagin and Blaco for their lack of response. She also wanted to know why they didn't use the school buses to evacuate the city.

The correspondant then tried again with an older black women to see if he could get the "proper" response. No such luck, she stated that she beleives the President and had faith in his program.

Was the correspondent some emasculated male (probably living in Chelsea and a grad of a "liberal arts" college in the Northeast)?

I was yelling that she had nailed it, and I was praising God. This makes me so happy, that no matter how hard the MSM tries to make Bush look bad, the people of the US aren't buying it.

I also enjoyed one talking head's lead-in to a reporter "Was the speech a reaction to charges that the President doesn't care?"

My answer: No. This speech is evidence that the President DOES care. And always has.

The reporter was Dean Reynolds. The line of questioning was very pointed. "Do you harbor any resentment for the president for the slow evacuation? Do you think the President is sincere? Is it a little too late?" Blah, blah, blah...

I saw the attempted solicitation on ABC after the President's speech. Because of the past history of the MSM outlets biased coverage I was about to tell the wife to turn it off, we know what is coming with the interviews.

But then the most amazing thing happened: All of those souls told it like it was!

They, who saw it up close and personal, told the truth. One lady said she didn't believe the hurricane was going to be that bad TOOK RESPONSIBILITY for her own foolishness. Another laid the blame on the state and local authorities not once, BUT TWICE in the same interview!

Rush, if you don't open up with this audio on Friday's show, I'll be shocked.

I think he asked another black woman who she blamed. She said new orleans wasn't affected much by the hurricane, it was devastated when floodgates were opened. She then said the city was suppose to use money to fix the levee's and they didn't do it. She blamed the mayor.

I wonder if he bothered to check to see what kind of response that he was going to get from these individuals. Me thinks that either he didn't bother or they responded the "proper" way prior to going on the air. I would have loved it if they conned him, knowing that he wouldn't have put them on the air if he had known what they were really going to say.

I don't care what anyone says. President Bush gave a great speech. The people on the street know that. The educated dummies in the lame stream media have their head to far up their orifices to realize that.

It was absolutely beautiful. The ABC reporter kept trying to get them to say something bad about the president and every single one of them praised Bush! ABC thought they had the perfect set up...poor, black, displaced refugees of the hurricane who would lambaste the president...and it backfired! These people were great and full of common sense.

I posted this on another thread earlier this evening but thought it would be enjoyed by those reading this one:

Have had the Weather Channel on since getting home a little while ago hoping to hear news of how southeastern NC fared in the hurricane but everyone is reporting from farther up the coast.

However, I just hear a report that tickled me greatly.

..... A reporter from ABC news was being interviewed (I guess from a local station and not the network but I don't know for sure ... since I never watch that network I wouldn't recognize their reporters). He was standing in front of a badly-damaged building at Atlantic Beach and said that the citizens weren't waiting on federal help but had started today to repair the damage to their property on their own. *ZING*

..... Then he said that he was amazed to see that people in the area (which apparently suffered the most from Ophelia) were still taking up collections today for the victims of Katrina in spite of their own losses. *ZING* *ZING*

Made me right proud of my state!!!

ABC and their agenda meisters have to be reeling at the impromptu answers they received after the President's speech. Cudos to ABC for airing the real and passionate feelings of the evacuees, rather than resorting to the agenda of the lengthy trumped up gloom and doom scenarios of NBC's Tim Russert. The below-the-belt partisanship NBC continually demonstrates day after day is (HELLOOOOOO) a tad obvious. NBC continues to degrade itself by promoting and holding Tim Russert's opinion as worthy and valid, when it is neither.

GOODNIGHT AND GOODBYE TO NBC, A NETWORK THAT HAS FALLEN INTO THE ABYSS OF INCREDULITY. (GOOD RIDDANCE)

I hope all of you seen Gov. Haley Barbour on Hannity he was great. He has worked 24/7 here in Mississippi. He would be a great man to lead this country in 2008. We in Mississippi are very proud of Gov. Haley Barbour. If you missed it watch the rerun Haley was great. God Bless Haley Barbour.

The leftists are going to hate it when the displaced Louisanna folks return to the voting booths and vote republican.

Doesn't matter where they are, but I think a lot of black folk are going to remember how the dems failed, yet again, and how the besmirched republicans and christians came to their aide.

Maybe that is why Nagin has bought a home in Dallas. Big enough city to hide in.

The RATS will be using the opportunity to "Foam at the Mouth" (and with the help of it's ally, the MSM, and say that we know need to choose between rebuilding Iraq OR rebuilding New Orleans. Can't afford both.

This may prove to be a brilliant exit strategy.

One of the more liberal black leaders (can't remember his name) was stating that Bush blew up the levees. Hmmm I wonder if they believe him.

A few days ago Jesse Jackson stated that it wouldn't be good to move these people too far away from where they are acultured. My response was that he is afearing that he is going to lose "control" of them. Well I guess it is too late, they aren't buying what the "black leaders" are selling any more.

Since when has the Dems ever turned down an opportunity to spend money.

If they pull that we will turn the tables on them and ask them which minority group they want to pull the plug on?
