Wow! I just saw/heard that....why doesn't he call Jessie Jackson? This man was so over the top I think he is a Black Activist trying to stir the pot. What an ingrate!

he thinks he deserves $20,000 and so does everyone else.

Maybe that plasma TV he looted didn't work so well after being underwater, so he deserves a brand-new theater room in his brand new house to make up for that sort of slave treatment.

Only slaves end up with soggy, non-functional plasma TVs. And he be no slave.

Like a slave ship? And he's complaining?

Probably the best thing that ever happened to his ancesters was getting on a slave ship and coming to this country. Alternatively he'd be getting slaughtered in Rawanda.

Years of welfare and other giveaways - the Liberal DemocRATs have these ingrates trained properly.

These people just keep showing themselves, don't they.

Then Jesse Jackson comes along and makes them look even worse.

I liked it when he asked: "If we can't depend on the Federal government, who can we depend on?"

Just ran it back on TiVo - the other posters are right, he said, "Give us what the ____ we deserve."

You ought to try to archive that permanently, from your TiVo; you never know when we'll need evidence to back up assertions in the future, as memories fade.

That so called man needed a lick upon the side of his head. I have never heard such nonsense. The people of this country do not owe him one dime.

I missed the interview, so I could use some help. Did the guy say where I could send him the $20,000?

Yep - I really hope someone was taping this segment and is able to make it available as a clip. That guy could be the poster child of entitlement mentality.

As far as I'm concerned, give him exactly what he DESERVES. Perhaps they should just give the refugees twice what they've paid into Social Security, not counting any that was deducted from entitlement checks. (if it even is, which I don't know)

After all, twice of nothing is nothing - could be a good deal for the taxpayers.

That is exactly what he said. By what stretch of the imagination does this man believe he "deserves" $20,000? The "man" in question looked young and healthy and capable of working. He did not ask for a job, but then, I, for one, would not hire him for anything.

Exactly what I was telling my husband, he looked like a pimp and asking for the 20K to get his business restarted in Houston. Sorry that is my opinion.

The government made a huge mistake in giving money to the families of the 911 victims. At the time I said it would really up the ante on expectations on anyone on the recieving end of a terror attack or huge disaster.

Charity is aok and should be encouraged. A government award wasn't.

Sorry if it makes me unpopular.

That was my favorite line too. That pretty much says it all, doesn't it?

I am surprised that Fox isn't using a tape delay on these interviews.

I'd love to know what we the taxpayers got for that 700 he spent.

I am so disgusted. He didn't get enough. We should have left him in that he**hole that is N.O. I'd contribute to send him back, making sure that he actually was returned, and given NO help once there.
