Had he been alittle less concerned with a country that we now know posed no threat to us, and had spent more time working on our economy, there wouldn't be as many people who are right now riding 9 hours to houston. Those who were forced to take shelter in the superdome were very poor and couldn't even get out of the city. I think our country is in terrible shape when people are so poor they can't even leave the city.


On a side question, those of you not in the U.S., how much press is this disaster getting around the world?
i have 2 agre sort out shit @ home b4 worrin bout the rest off the world.
i live in ireland, and when i was younger i experianced the same situation, i was homeless(all my own fault) and shit i really seen dublins problems, drugs drink people diein in there sleep on steps somewhere. and while all this was goin on our famous celtic tiger was doin very well 4 itself an irelands econemy grew and has done so since, yet our citys homeless and drink/drug problem has escalated while the goverment r spendin mils on new fancy builings everywhere, our sky line is littered with cranes, which any1 who knows bout economics will know that that in itself is a sign irelands econemy is booming, yet they wont deal with there probs @ home.
all joinin the eu did was change our money and nothin else, especially with the escalatin probs, an u know what they did 2 celebrate eires econemy.........they built a 200 foot syringe, with our hroin problem it was a right joke an still is 2 this day.
they had a draw to see the winnin monument and the spike in the sky won, costin mils that could have eased a small bit off the biger probs on the streets of dublin, not nice
