Alright, I have had a few days to calm down and collect my thoughts and to not make it so forcefully angry about the whole New Orleans debacle. My first gripe is to all the people who say "well what could Bush have done? He was on vacation." Answer: you get your ass out of vacation mode and start calling up National Guard units. The thing is they need some time to mobilize. It may only be a day, but still that day makes all the difference in the world. Either help with the evac before the storm and have them ready for after it. If nothing happens too bad, a stand down issue is all that is neccessary. Also, Mr. Bush, dont go to New Orleans flying overhead and making your assinine comments "...it looks doubly bad from up here." What a complete jackass. Take a page from the book of Rudy Guliani and just be there for your people and give them some plans on what to do and what to expect.
Second. More than seven days and people are still without power, water and are not being allowed to leave?! Before anyone says "...they need time." Bullshit. After the Tsunami hit in Asia, we had a US task force team mobilized and there in one day. I know cause many of the people there came from this base. We cant do that for our own fucking country?! Get these people some shelter, some water and get them the fuck out of there. Now the people that dont want to leave. Well that is just a damn shame cause the area is a sesspool and you got to go.
Third. I am not going to make it a race thing as much as it is a class thing. I have been to New Orleans on numerous occasions last year. Any who read this blog know that. I can tell you that New Orleans is a very poor area. It has some of the widest shift in economic diversity, going from poor to very rich with majority of the middle class coming from tourists. If this had been Dallas or San Fran or any other market town that doesnt have such a poor population, Mr. Bush might have of been inclined to help them cause they are his paying customers. But because these people are poor and help to promote "questionable moral behavior" that the born again doesnt agree with has probably helped to slow his reaction to helping these people. I totally agree with Bill Clinton when he says that relief is way to slow for these people. Get the ball moving, Mr. "Party of inclusion". Good job proving that point false. Hell even Bush's father believes that efforts are too slow, but it is hard to critisize your son especially after he gets elected again and you dont.
Fourth. Celebrities, take it easy with trying to guilt people into giving. There have been an influx of donations and the like. Things will take time to sort and the money donated will be diverted away by the corrupt government of New Orleans. People will help, they dont need your star power to remind them to be humans. Just take a note from people on how we live when your brain isnt thinned by the air your head lives in the stratosphere there.
I have said my peace. Fin.
