OK, I have a little rant here. I'd like to say that I was once a Bush supporter but have not been one for two years. I am speechless at Bush's actions with Katrina.

Heaven forbid that he take off from his vacation! People were warning about a cat 5 hurricane slamming right into New Orleans for days before it showed up...and he was happy to ride around on his bike and trim brush away from his "Texas Ranch".

Now, we ask why New Orleans has such heavy flooding. Because it's under sea level! How do we keep the water out? Through levies that hold back the water. Now, for years before Katrina, the local papers were reporting (9 articles) that funds to rebuild the levy systems had been taken to fund the war in Iraq and the tax cuts. No matter what you feel about the war, why is it our first priority to invade a country, leaving a levy in order to protect a city unfinished. This was such an important issue that contractors worked for free for over a year to try to finish the project.

Fine...Bush made a mistake...a big one. Now, what is he doing to solve the problem? For food, he sends 1.5 million MREs...which can feed all the new homeless people for about 6 hours. He sends a few cots, blankets, and then decides to send off the hospital ship. One hospital ship with 1,000 beds to fix a problem with over 1.5 million homeless...does NOTHING to solve the problem.

So...so...Bush took away the money to fix the problem, knowing the risk. He failed and resulted in the deaths of thousands of people, this is the worst hurricane in US history. He failed because the national guard is off in Iraq, no where to help the victims of the storm. He failed because he waited to end his vacation. He failed because he is doing next to nothing with this problem. Failure. Disgrace. I'm so angry...there is no way to defend this man.

And some wonder why Bush's approval ratings are in the 30th percentile. Pah, perhaps Americans are waking up...too bad this fool is still in office for three more years. Shame.

Experts are saying to expect $4 - $5 / gallon gas prices soon. That means higher costs for car owners, for shipping, for everything! Enjoy, write your government to thank them for their wild givings to you.
