A notification that he was informed about the situation, and he would try as much as possible to save those lives on TV would ease their pain. He's a liar, so I don't think it was hard at all for him to say those lines, but he didn't say them. It's not because he's a good guy or whatever; it's because he was not around or didn't care enough to pay much attention to the subject. If he cared, where was he when it happened? Well, you haven't answer this question of mine yet. Ha, it's because you, yourself, don't know it and neither do American people. He pleaded to tell where he was. Peoplle normally plead the Fifth when they have something to hide.

Firstly West must just be some retard. I've never even heard of him before this. So what he thinks is really irrelavant now, is not it?

Second: I don't know or care what Bush thinks about black people or anyone else for that matter. What he thinks about them is also irrelavant since he is not responsible for the hurricane hitting New Orleans in the first place.
While you people are busy finding fault in Bush and republicans the powers that really control and shape our world are apolitical and are running amuck.

First of all, you still have not answer my question of where he was about. Second of all, you don't care who that rapper was or what he said because he didn't say anything about you. Let's face it honey, you're nobody. So, nobody really cares what you think or act, truthfully. Third of all, what that rapper said represented what some Americans think. Why are there people who happen to agree with him? It's because he's spoken out the truth, and he's had a chance to speak out what they wanted to say about Bush.Fourth of all, what he thinks or cares about black people is a matter of the fact. It's because it shows why he was slow in respon. Would you do something to someone you don't give a d*** about? Would you? Don't tell you you would because it'd be a lie and you know it would be. Therefore, please make some sense here, for you're getting nonsense and nonsense by the minute. I thought you were a person who happened to do his research and have good viewpoints, but apparently I was wrong. How disappointing!

I did not know that any one was interested in where Bush was when the hurricane hit, so how would I know where he was? I don't care and niether should you.

So now they say he was absent? What a joke! It doesn't even matter, except to the overly sensitive foo foo types, for whom I have little sympathy.

This is getting more silly daily. Before the age of television none of this would have mattered. Now the American people have become so feminized and weak that they need to see a talking head and expect their Presidents to be overcome with emotion and offer heartfelt empathetic condolences at every opportunity. If that is your idea of a good leader then I'll bet that you are still waiting for the tooth fairy.

Where are the men in this country? The people who are willing to stand on their own. Who take responsibility for their own actions.

There was a time and a place where an overly sensitive leader would have been laughed out of town.

I don't agree with your response to what americans require on a media level in this instance!

I think the American people needed to see Bush take control of the situation; that is all. I don't think they feel that he did.

I do agree that it is irrelevant where he was or what he thinks (on a personal level). However, he has a duty to the WHOLE of the American population to be in control of situations such as these. It appears that he wasn't. Who knows who should of being do what etc. But any boss in charge of a large company should know at all times what his employees are doing; and making sure that they are actually doing it!

Let me remind you that he IS the President of the United States. When a crisis happens to it, he should be there. Even if he was at somewhere thousand miles ago, he should get back to the States and respond immediately. That's how a leader should do when something happens to his or her country. It's his or her responsibility in a part of his or her job-- to be a part of the disaster, listen to the cries of the citizens, do anything in his or her power to help the victims, etc. We don't put them in office just to tell us where and when we need to go to war; we put them there because they also promised to bring us safety, security, better healthcare, better education, better housings, and so on. Thus, he did vow to give Americans those things before stepping into office. If he did vow those, he should make those happen. Why? Again, it's because it's his job. HIS JOB.

Maybe you're the only one who can't see whom you should put your trust on. If you can't even put your trust on your President during a disaster, I wonder why you wanted to put him in his office? To kill thousands of people in a land you might never actually be there? And by the way, how much is your gas at where you live? At my place, it is 3 dollars per gallon now. Wow, I am so missing the time when it was only a dollar something.
Anyway, back to the topic, if a President can't give you the feeling that he cares or he is sympathetic of your situation, why do you even need him there for? Where is the safety, security, better in this area, that area that he vowed when he entered his office? He did make vows that security and safety were his top priorities. However, since the disaster happened in a state where blacks were majority; he happened to be busy to respond or care enough to be there. Then he appeared late to calm down the angers, and his wife was going around hugging and kissing the black children. Ha, she got all year to do that, but she waited until some rapper said her husband didn't care enough about black people. She hugged them to show that her husband did care. Why did she do that for? It was for her husband's publicity image, and to answer the question of Americans who were wondering whether he cared or not. But in your words, why we should care about what he cares. Well, was that rapper or people talking about his cares in general? No, they were talking about his cares to the American people. Aren't black people American people? We don't frigging care if he cares about his golf days, meals, etc. We care about how he cares about American people. Telling that Bush does care about black people is like Clinton telling Americans he was innoncent in Monica Lewinsky's case

. Yeah, it's funny because it's a lie.
Anyway, if you couldn't see a distinction between those cares, then it'd be no point talking. Well, you can't, so it's no point talking.

In Australia last night an Oprah Winfrey (on the ground) special was shown. She took several semi trailers full of essential items to the area and went to see for herself (first hand) what she could do to help. Other celebrities including; Julia Roberts, Chris Rock, John Travolta, Kelly Preston and Matthew McConaghy also went to the area with $1m dollars in aid parcels (food, nappies, water, canned food etc).

My goodness if ordinary people can give this sort of help to their own what is wrong with the Government.

There were some shocking accounts made to Oprah's team of journalists, about what went on in that Superdome. The local authorities could not deal with it as they were out numbered.

Alot of locals chose to wonder the streets as they did not want their children in there (what sort of refuge is that)?

I hope everyone gets a chance to see this documentary it might open a few peoples eyes.

:(

I would find it impossible for anyone to defend the Bush administration after this appalling display.

Hi and Welcome! :D Your viewpoint is always accepted on these forums everyone has an opinion and we should all share them whether we agree or not is the whole point.

I think the whole thing is a disgrace to the US Administration; but I'm really impressed with the US citizens they have stuck together and shown such humanity. So that is a good thing. 8)

I don't follow the news that much but from what I see, it seems the US has faced a bit of criticism. I'm very disappointed with the government and people. It's been said over and over again that the United States is a civilized country that is more developed than many parts of the world. However, how civilized is a country when people take advantage of others in dire situations? The looting and raping that occurred in New Orleans showed just how civilized the United States really are. I can't recall something of that caliber happening throughout Southeast Asia when the tsunamis struck.

I might sound bitter but superiority (or what they think is superiority) has a price and is often placed under the microscope.

I don't know about the other part, but looting... Would you loot if you were left to be on your own for days without much food and water? When Tsunami happened, the world was right there with those people. It was on the news like in a second and those people got helped right away, don't forget that.

White people were looting, too, you know. Or you're calling them looking for food and water in this case?

Danyet · Post by **Danyet** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 7:12 am

No they weren't, unless you think that the handful of Whites left in town are worth metioning compared to overwhelming majority of Blacks that were acting out of control. Why don;t you find out what the few white people are saying, that were stuck in the astrodome. Ask them who they were afraid of. It was not other White people. They will tell you who was roving around looking for rape victims. It was not white gangs who had come into town with boats and weapons and looted all the jewelery stores. They had more weapons than the police.
The police dept. had only one boat. Facts are facts and you should not be afraid to tell the truth. Maybe you don't hear ALL the facts on your local news. Try reading the Australian papers and the accounts given by Aussies who were there.
There appears to be something seriously wrong with Black culture in America and it needs to be addressed. And don't try to tell me it is because they are poor. The Blacks were much poorer 60 years ago but their neighborhoods were safer with less crime back then than they are now.

AS far as looting goes I don't think that anyone is calling those who took food for survival looters. The police that i have heard have said that they were only interested in people who where stealing valuables. Most of the real looting has not really been covered in the media. There was organized looting by gangs and many shootouts with police.

The difference here Lenny is that other countries were asked to help and invited in immediately. Take it from me my country would have been in New Orleans in 1 day if they were allowed to. The Government in the US would not allow outside countries in to help! It is unreasonable in my opinion. Most countries would have loved to help the USA in this situation as they have done in the past for some countries in trouble. Why shut everyone out. I think they were negligent in the decision making process! :(

Danyet, you are right, I should not judge an entire country based on a few (or should I say a few hundred) individuals. People should be judged on an individual basis. However, it seems you are being a hypocrite because you are doing the same.

Looting for daily essentials is not actually considered. I was talking about the people who broke into houses for personal wealth. Rape, gang violence and shootouts were also prevalent.

Tsunami victims got help right away? Maybe. Some. But the initial help was peanuts compared to the magnitude of the diaster. I agree with you, the Bush administration is partly to blame. If Bush really leads the internal investigations, there's no point for anyone to wait for the results. It's like asking Clinton to investigate the Lewinsky scandal.

The aftermath of Katrina would have been easier to endure if Bush did allow foreign aid. I know Canada responded immediately but had to wait for American approval which was delayed.

"Rev. Jesse Jackson is a controversial figure in the USA. He does not speak for all Blacks. Many Americans of African herritage think that he has done a disservice to the Minority cause in America on countless issues. He, for a Reverand, has shown himself to be hypocritical in his personal life especially in the treatment of his own wife. He is not a good role model for the people he professes to stand for.

No I wouldn't. I knew that some would confuse the two. Peterson is not popular amongst Liberal Democrat crowd and therefore media does not cover him as much as Jackson.

Peterson is amongst a growing minority of Black speakers. I like this guy. He is from the "roots". He is not as articulate or slick as Jackson. His message is not well received by those who expect things to "fall into their lap" . He says that Black Americans must build strong families again and that Jackson has set bad examples, by his treatment towards his own wife.

This is an old tradition of the English language. It goes along with referring to ships in the feminine and such. A few years back some women complained about the tradition of storms being given feminine names that they started to name some storms with mens names. I find storms with mens names to be irritating.

I have just finished watching a program called 'Frontline' on television. They had a documentary on the situation with Hurricane Katrina (late response).

What a mess. The Clinton administration set a new director into FEMA after the "OLD BUSH" administration had totally failed (by giving jobs to mates). With the new director in place (who had specialised in emergency/disaster relief) Fema was doing well and was able to handle many large scale emergencies.

It would appear that under "JNR BUSH" Fema has been taken back to 'Daddy's' ideal (jobs for the boys, no qualifications required).

FEMA has now lost all rights and Bush has set up a larger scale department that includes HOMELAND SECURITY, FEMA etc. etc. There were just so many departments that I couldn't grab all of their names.

It was a very interesting program, I really think at the end of the day the BUSH administration has totally stuffed up! AGAIN!

Yes I do understand that happens everywhere in the world (media sensationalism) however, most past and present members of Fema were interviewed together with the footage from the media coverage during the Katrina crisis. You just can't deny that no one knew what they were doing. :? Locals say that they asked for defined help; FEMA says that they didn't. Why should you have to define the help that you require if this is an organisation set up to deal with disaster relief.

:? In addition tabled reports with setup disaster situations were never completed as the White House withdrew funding. The project name was HURRICANE PAM.

The other obvious fact is that FEMA was run so well under the Clinton administration and has collapsed under the Bush administration. The obvious reason is staff placement.

Danyet · Post by **Danyet** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 12:48 am

I think that part of the problem is that FEMA is looked at by many as a prelude to "Big Brother" organizion and is feared by the far Right. This may have something to do with Clinton funding the program so well since the Democratic Party is the party of Big Brother.

At the end of the day I just don't think political preference should enter into a debate about an organisation setup to help American people with disaster relief. It doesn't matter who is in government; what matters is that the funding is kept up to these organisations to provide the services that they were designed for.

America has large populations living in areas that are prone to, earthquake, flood, tornados, etc. You would have to be a foolish person to think that all these natural disasters are just going to go away; so that you no longer have to look at the fiscal issues.

That is not true. People are taking whatever they need. They are not being shot. However, the situation is made worse by another element that I have no explanation for. The people are being kept against their will in that superdome that is on the news. They want to get out and go to safety outside the city but they have been LOCKED INSIDE by so-called athorities. There is only one road that now leads out of the city BUT a check point or road block has been set up there to prevent anyone from escaping.
A group of tourists who had to leave their hotels tried to walk out of the city but police fired warning shots over their heads to make them turn around. Those police are lucky that I was not there..... because I would have shot back.

This is very disturbing. Why is government taken citizen rights off these people? On whos' athority? Who is in charge? I want his name.

Bush is athority or u are athurity?
I know u are a kind-hearted person.

Hi Funnyboy!

It is better to say in English, "Bush is a Racist."

I really don't believe the BUSH is a racist!

I don't believe that he sat back and did nothing in the hope that black-americans would die. I just think he has poor organisational skills and makes bad choices. I mean lets face it the guy can hardly string a sentence together without help. :(

He was warned about this, but he refused to acknowledge it.

I don't know if I agree with that. A natural disaster is a very hard thing to assess.

Danyet is lying. It was me! I went out to the Caribbean and started stirring the ocean with my trusty spoon!
