It took President Bush 5 days to go to New Orleans after Katrina and 8 days to go to the floods in Iowa.......

Question

does George Bush hate white people?

Answer 1

I agree with you.  You don't hear the people of the Midwest crying about it.  You also didn't hear the people of Mississippi crying about anything after Katrina either.  Only the racist people of New Orleans were the ones crying.   Oh yeah and racist Al Sharpton was leading the way!

Answer 2

Has anyone thought that he only cares about people that can benefit him.  Like....Iraq!

I KNOW THAT YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT COMPARING THE FLOODS TO KATRINA.  BOTH ARE HORRIBLE NATURAL DISASTERS.  SOME PEOPLE ARE SO RACIST AND FULL OF HATE THAT YOU ATTACK THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS.  THOSE PEOPLE WERE BELOW THE POVERTY LINE.  THE WORLD IS SAD AND MOST OF ITS INHABITANTS ARE TOO.   YOU ALL NEED TO GET A FREAKING CLUE!

Answer 3

Because he didn't go there to help the flood victims.

Presidential visits are but political posturing, and meaningless rhetoric is spewed forth...

Besides, none of his friends live in the flooded areas, only people who could feed half the world, and who didn't riot and loot, when things got bad...

Answer 4

Because unlike New Orleans, which had been controlled by liberals for decades, the people of Iowa are much more self-reliant and banded together to do what was needed rather than relying on the government to provide for their needs. It is telling that when it came time to really 'help' the people, the liberals failed to protect them, even refusing help offered by the federal government until it was too late.

Answer 5

Bush is too busy threating Iran

If another hurricane hits, he will wait 3 weeks! I think

Answer 6

You do need to "get a clue", even if you have to buy one.

First, it wasn't Bush who "took.... 5 days to get to New Orleasn", it was then-Governor Blanoc - a Democrat - who earned the nickname "Governor Blank Stare" from her own staff.  The only "decision" she apparently made during the first week of the crisis was to REFUSE the President's offer to "fedealize" the rescue effort, which would have allowed the use of regular military units.

Second,.people in the midwest can "evacuate" by walking about 2 blocks from the river. They are NOT trapped by miles & miles of deep water and trying to survive for a week or more in apocalyptic conditions while completely cut off from the outside world.

Third, news media reports of civil disorder in New Orleans were grossly exaggerated. For example, there were "reports" of violence inside the Superdome at the time. In reality, there were NO murders in the Dome, NO children were raped, and there were NO gun battles (all were high-profile news stories at the time). The same was true at the Convention Center.

Much of the "looting" in New Orleans was within the law, but the media chose to only broadcast video of people stealing things like TVs. The media even chose to misrepresent video of some legal "looting", such as the incident with two female police officers who were loading items into shopping carts at Wal-Mart. In reality, they were at Wal-Mart on orders to commander supplies for the young children at the Convention Center (the baskets were filled with diapers, wet-wipes, toys, baby clothes, and baby food). The MEDIA said they were "looting" and the world believed it.

There was plenty of bad news to go around and I don't know why the media felt a need to make it up.

Finally, I would really like someone to show me all the New Orleans people who are "sitting around with their hands out" or who are "doing nothing".  I see a metro area (plus the rest of southeastern Louisiana and southern Mississippi) working their butts off trying to recover from the worst natural disaster to ever strike the USA - and doing it with little help from the outside.
