I am watching a remarkable performance in the HOUSE tonight...you have Kendrick Meek, a rep. from Florida...
and he is waving around this letter from Pelosi and other dems to the Comptroller of the United States, demanding a COMMISSION to look into the accountablity of who was at fault in Katrina...
At the same time, he is saying that these hard working people in NO were FORCED to steal and break laws because of Bush's economy....
YET, on O'Reilly tonight, he said that in 1996 Clinton spent 100 something BILLION on social programs for the poor, welfare, medicaid, health care...etc.., which at that time was 11.7% of the country's budget...AND, that is why President Clinton came to be known as the "first black president"...because of all of the help he "gave" to the poor...
BUT, in 2004, Bush's budget spent over 380 BILLION for the same programs, which is 12.4% of the budget...and yet people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharton...and ole Kendrick Meek on the HOUSE floor, are blaming BUSH for the poor people in NO>..
It is like the DEMS and the MSM have JUST DISCOVERED that there actually ARE poor people in cities...
WHY wasn't Kendrick and his buddies helping before now...
He also said that he and others in the Cong. Black Caucus are going to VISIT NO., and ALL of the sites that the victims have been shipped off to...to make sure that they are "being taken care of properly"....
GACK
I really can't stand these people.
During the Chicago heat wave, the dem mayor, Clinton and his head of FEMA, dim Dewitt allowed over one thousand poor elderly and disabled, of whom most were Black, to die in the heat. And this in a fully functioning city.
It is now fact a majority of those deaths could have been prevented if they had merely checked on them for removal to a cooler place. Oh, silly me, MSM says only Bush bad.
We all know the real story on why they are making the rounds.
Blanco does nothing but complain. I really want to see her indicted for criminal negligence.
