What I want to know Mr. President is what you told that New Orleans mayor, could you tell us?
Also is there any truth to what the mayor said that the CIA might take him out for saying the things he said?
Were you really that offended?

Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., said the situation has shown major breakdowns in the nation's emergency response capabilities. "There must be some accountability in this process after the crisis is addressed," he said. Democrat Ben Nelson, Nebraska's other senator, said he now questions National Guard leaders' earlier assertions that they had enough resources to respond to natural disasters even with the Iraq war. "I'm going to ask that question again," Nelson said. "Do we have enough (troops), and if we do, why were they not deployed sooner?"
Having watched them for years, this is exactly what I expected from the two of them. They will work together on an agenda for upcoming hearings.

I told him to evacuate. Thinking he would thwart Karl's evil plan to kill every black person in New Orleans, he didn't evacuate.
Also is there any truth to what the mayor said that the CIA might take him out for saying the things he said?
Of course we'll have to kill him. We're waiting for Pat Robertson to issue the fatwa and then we'll send in CIA female agents dressed in burqas to off this race-hustler. Make sure you act surprised when it actually happens so no one will know.
Were you really that offended?
Offended, no. But I've been on vacation and it's just time to kill some dark-skinned people because I'm behind on my quota. Isn't that what American presidents are supposed to do? Clinton had it so easy, he'd just launch a few cruise missiles at some Sudanese aspirin factory and everyone cheered and sneered. But being a Republican, I have to kill a lot more people to be respected by the press.

You know...... if a person really had the tin foil on tight.... he might think that someone somewhere in the government said "let's wait 72 hours before sending in the military, study what happens so we'll be prepared in case of severe Al Queda attack, document it etc, study how the people react, let the press show a segment of society that the Regan democrats will reject, and then move in take care of things."

Bush called the gov and the mayor ahead of time... they said they had it under control. Guess W figured out they were dummies and went on TV and declared state of emergency for two of the states ahead of time and asked for mandatory evacuation. It was an especially nice touch when these two simpletons began "talking tough" Thursday about the slow federal response. Guess they finally got their talking points from the mother ship.
That idiot mayor mumbled something to the effect: "They better get off of their damned asses.". Yeah, I guess the Federal Government had to "get off it's ass" because the incompetent Democrat Mayor never got off his ass even though he had several days to do so (apparently having a difficult time thinking about what to do), and the incompetent Democrat Governor never got off her ass(apparently too busy hiding under her desk, crying).
Democrats are plainly too stupid, ignorant, and incompetent to be left in charge of anything of importance.

I'm sorry, you must have missed Wexler (Florida) who stated that reaction to this disaster by this adminstration was a discrase...

Yeah, but they have that minstrel show thing with race-hustlers like Jackson, Sharpton, Nagin, etc. Why go to all that work when their bit-players already know their lines?

Beware! Facts and logic only send the Libs into more extreme emotional outbursts -- accompanied by delusions of grandeur, hallucinations, foaming at the mouth, etc.

I was surfing the message boards over at the Showtime website and they are beating the hell out of the President. If there was any logic to any of the criticism, I'd respect it a bit. But its so far insane that I can't believe people actually have the kahunas to show how stupid they are. Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.

Part of the problem is that a lot of time, personnel and equipment had to have been used for rescue as opposed to delivering supplies. If the state and locals had done a better job of getting folks out who were otherwise unable to leave, and if folks who were able to leave had been smart enough to do it then the supplies might have been delivered quicker.

You have to figure that some of the more astute politicians among them may have gotten a clue. I haven't heard a peep from the usual suspects like Kennedy, Kerry, Schumer, not even Hitlery Clinton.
But never fear. When they sense that the time is right, they will resume their backstabbing and Bush-bashing.

Mr. President thanks for the reply. I am amazed to get a response from the President himself on FR. I'll bet Clinton was never this open on DU and if he would have answered a question there one would be left wondering if he was getting his pretzel pleasurized at the same time. I mean you would never know if he was giving you his full attention like you have given me here.
I think it would be nice if you put an official picture of yourself on your about page to deflect anyone who might think you are not a freeper.

Tisk, tisk. You're trying to inject FACTS into a universe of hatred where none are allowed. The USNS Mercy is also being deployed, FWIW. She's got to come through Panama from San Diego so it's unclear when she'll be able to arrive on site.

I think they may know that they're in trouble. I was surprised today that the dem response to the president's televised message was positive. Not a disparaging word. They must have a clue that their blaming could boomerang. You're right. It's dawning on them that blacklashes come in many forms...
