Bush is an Asshole ! (Peace to New Orleans)

I used to be able to speak german pretty well back in highschool but never had a reason to apply it after.  Either way though, I\'m not ranting on in german changing my tune every 2 seconds.  First you directly link Bush and the hurricane with us waking up.  Now you say you don\'t blame him you blame the system.  If you actually posted an arguement it might help.

Bozco: I\'m glad to hear this... I don\'t have ANYTHING against America. I like much things there and I will visit your great country sometimes.

Am I anti Bush, yes.
Do I blame him for the storm, of course not.
Do I blame him for not doing the right things, yes.
He said: We don\'t want help, we can do it by ourselfs.
He said: I don\'t expect anything from the world, we are on our own.
This is so dumb...
There are many planes and ships here in Germany and the rest of Europe just waiting to get an OK for the trip with food, medicine and stuff, but your government don\'t want them...
Do I care for the folks in N.O., Mississippi etc., yes - oh lord, YES !

You would have damned Bush if he hadn\'t have gone there wouldn\'t you?  You would have said something to the effect "He doesn\'t give a shit about the poor..." or some other nonsense. No matter what happens, no matter what he does - he is wrong and it is his fault isn\'t?

Why has he done this ? To help ?

You can\'t send buses and aid into to a crowd of 30000 people without having some form of law and order.

If not every 3rd or 4th had a gun, you could.

Did Guilliani have a hissy fit on 9/11?  No, he handled a bad situation like a statesman.

A relativ small part of the city was affected by this and there was no war in foreign countrys going on, which costs a ot of $.  

If that was the case, he most surely would have wiped out people like you and for that this country would be a much better place.

No comment.

EDIT:  Just realized this asshole isn\'t even American.  Anyway, I don\'t know you and have never seen you before, but you have some fucking nerve posting your shit from AMSTERDAM.  You aren\'t even a citizen of this country, let alone IN this country and for you to preach your misinformed bullshit from thousands of miles away really strikes me the wrong way.

Amsterdam ? YOU are the best sample for the ignorant and arrogant ppl in your country I was talking about. But I don\'t blame you. It\'s what you get, if you grow up in such a "proud" country.

Go ahead and try to help, you\'ll just get overwhlemed and maybe even robbed and/or injured in the process.

Forgive my lack of knowledge on that quote but can you point me to where Bush said we don\'t want help from other nations?

the eye, i didn\'t get your point because you don\'t have one

here, open an account at http://www.myspace.com and put your anti-america shit there please

The response to the disaster has been underwhelming from the state and federal government.  

Can someone answer why the fuck they sent supplies by ship?  Wouldn\'t sending supplies by truck and/or plane be faster?

FEMA blew it. Bus companies, they blew it. Communications break down in the 21st Century? Christ. And looters shooting at rescuers, they ruined it for a lot of people.

People expect much better when it happens here. This is not Rwanda, this is not the killing fields of Cambodia, this is America. It\'s sad, really.

I really haven\'t had time to cover all the details so forgive me if I\'m mistaken here.

Didn\'t they declare New Orleans a disaster BEFORE the hurricane hit?  Like days before, and it still took days after before there was a proper response.  If FEMA dropped the ball then there should have been someone there to pick it up, no excuses.

Then again this whole thing could have been avoided, or at least lessened, if the state and federal government had repaired/constructed proper levees.

This is not the fault of one party, it\'s a glaring example of being unprepared and having some serious priority issues.

it was a complete disaster, but
it\'s everyones fault, the local govt, FEMA, hell the people that stayed are morons.  they knew damn well a hurricane was coming.

but that\'s the way we do things as humans, underestimate everything and expect (demand) help when needed

the govt had a week to prepare.  find a couple hundred acres in higher ground.  hand out free camping gear and have 100 porta-toilets lined up.  bring your own food/beer.  problem solved.

wait, black people don\'t camp.
would never work

It wouldn\'t have worked whether they were black or not. The fact is that if Rikku is so fucking smart then he should be our president, all these fuckheads from other countries and some within our own keep second guessing and bitching, but I don\'t see them running our country or on a flight over here to volunteer their services, so until then shut the fuck up.

Wait wait wait. Katrina was a Category 1 Hurricane when it hit Florida. No one was sure where it was going.

And, if you don\'t have transportation, you\'re not gonna leave your only shelter when a hurricane is gonna catch you outdoors, would you? Let\'s remember, 145mph winds hit NO. Hell, it was 50mph the day before, even then, they weren\'t gonna leave their shelter. THen there\'s that thought everyone had on their minds : we\'ve had hurricanes this close before and it never hit us in over 30 years.

The Cry Wolf syndrome.

Also, where would you stay once you got to high ground? There\'s no guarantee someone will take you in. Especially if you\'re black and in Mississipi.

You can\'t deny the facts.  

The levee was inadequate to withstand anything stronger than a category 3 hurricane.  There are such things as category 4 and 5 hurricanes, and they make their way through the gulf every year.  I\'m also not blaming only Bush for this lack of response, that levee has needed attention for a very long time now.

New Orleans was declared a disaster before the hurricane ever hit.  Why did it take days AFTER the storm hit until proper responses were sent?  Why are there still people stranded and dying?

GmanJoe, what good is a shelter that is under water?  I have family that lived in New Orleans.  They have a meteoroligist(sp?) friend that told them the hurricane was coming, and to leave.  There was no question.  They had days to pack up their most valuable possesions from two houses and move into a house in Texas before the storm ever hit.  

I believe there was time to get the word out, set up shelters, and get people to safety before the storm.  I\'m not pointing the finger at any one person or party.  There are too many to blame.

if you live in a "hurricane prone" area, and have no friends or family to stay with in a safe area and no friends to carpool with, then you have failed at basic citizenship and humanity.  please stop breeding.

Once again Rikku the government can only do so much for you. It not like they had all this time to prepare either and the levies held, not for long but they held and then when shit hits the fan you still have planning, to go through and coordinating things of such this magnitude don\'t just replicate in an hour it takes time to get things like this done thats why we weren\'t there the next day.
