While I was away....

I've moved to Indiana.... just in case anyone is still looking at this. Hey, does everyone who might be reading this believe that George Bush hates black people? Listen, if he had declared those areas disaster areas before the storm hit, would it have gone better? Cause, like FEMA would have preprepared, set aside emergency funds, etc....


well guess what. He did. For all the people there. What really went wrong was that the state government did not give the Feds permission to go in in force. See, the Federal government needs permission from the state government before it can go in and do a state's business. It's the law. And the local government, the mayor was not telling anyone what he was doing. No, he was communicating through the media. He didn't tell anyone there was people in the convention center for three days. Did FEMA screw up? Yeah. But they were also made part of the dept of homeland security. That was a recommendation after 9/11. So yeah, a mistake. It'll change. Is the head of FEMA incompetent? Maybe. He'll lose his job anyway. But to say that Bush is a racist (and what was said publicly by others was worse than that.... by some black liberal congressmen, surprise surprise) because black people were there is just BS. It's excuse making. It is saying it wasn't because anyone screwed up... it isn't an act of nature. It's because I'm black and if a Democrat were in office it wouldn't have happened in the first place. Poppycock.
