People who are screaming the race card are fucking morons. I mean like its really the Presidents fault that the Governor and Mayor are incompetent? They had plently of lead time before the hurricane, but they failed to act and as such their people are suffering because of it.
A lot of the people on the streets are complaining about this too, but what you'll notice is that they have no TV or radio or anything else. They don't realize that help is on the way and only so much can be done so fast. Then you have the assholes like Jesse Jackson and Kanye West who are trying to advance their careers by attacking Bush and others. Fuck them, I hope someone shoots them.
I wish someone would do the math, a school bus can hold ~50 people. Consider the 20,000+ at the Superdome alone. 20,000/50 = 400. Have you ever seen 400 school buses all at once? Have you ever seen 800 bus drivers all at once? Can you imagine trying to manage 400 buses at the same time? Now consider the fact that they think there are 100,000 people still in New Orleans. One also has to include all the other towns that have been destroyed or damaged as a result of the hurricane. They all need assistance too.
Its rather clear that they had a plan. The plan just didn't scale to the number of people who remained in New Orleans because of lack of leadership on part of the Governor and Mayor.
It was reported on Thursday that Marines were taking over force protection duties in the city of New Orleans. Of course the media never mentioned this because they were too busy with their Iraq style reporting in which they only talk about the bad things. Screw them too, I hope someone shoots the reporters out there too.
