Nothing like New Orleans ... Why??
Why is it that New Orleans couldn't do anything for themselves? They didn't leave when they were told to. They attacked the people that were sent to help them and they called Bush a racist and FEMA within only a few days of the disaster. They blamed everyone and everything but themselves for the reaction to Katrina. And the media was more then happy to help blame the president. But the flood in Nashville is the same thing but the people are different. Nashville could be out their doing the same things the people of New Orleans did. They could be calling our black president a racist. He hasn't done much. But the people are taking care of themselves and not relying on the government to do everything for them. You watch and learn and you will see Nashville will be cleaned up and open for business before New Orleans gets finished with their clean up and rebuilding. One city expects and demands that the federal government do all the work and pay for it while Nashville is taking care of themselves for the most part. And where is the media? Why aren't they pointing out what a great job Nashville has done with little help from President Obama? Not to blame Obama for doing next to nothing to "help" Nashville because he is busy doing next to nothing to save our Gulf from that disaster. I said next to nothing because he is spending all his efforts on blaming BP and bitching about the job they are doing. Thank God, Bush didn't bitch and place blame about Katrina like Obama is doing with everything.
wow, when you get it wrong you really get it wrong. way to go.

Responsible Citizens Acting As Citizens Always Have In Bad Times. Helping Each Other Out. Fema Seems To Have Done Its JOB! This Is Good Example Limited Government Supply Tax Payers Money And Then Getting Te Hell Out Of The Way.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Regime Can Do The Same With Private Sector, JOBs Here. Let Free Market, Private Sector Do What They Have Always Done Move Ahead Providing Employment! Joe Where Are Those Jobs Jobs Jobs. Hate To Keep Harping On It Joe But Regime Said They Were Going To Laser In On Those Jobs. Would Not Be Surprized To See Lasering If Any Occurr In September/October Just Before Election.
Joe Bush gave disaster relief too. So what are you trying to say? I'm showing one city that did nothing for themselves and one city that is doing it for themselves since day one. Even tornado areas get disaster relief that is "next to doing nothing". Look at the way Bush was treated and the way Obama is being treated for reacting the same way. So hypocritical of the left.
ReplyDeletechris, can you prove that FEMA did nothing? or is it just your theory about the situation?
ReplyDeleteJoe I think Chris said "next to nothing". Wasn't it your theory that Bush and FEMA hurt Americans in Katrina. That is worse then doing "nothing". You read too much into everything Joe. And by the way I'm a Democrat that voted for Obama.
ReplyDeleteThis is all about black and white chris. Can't you see it. The white cities get all the help while the blacks get the scrapes again. Fuck that.
ReplyDeleteBush and FEMA did kill black Americans so they could have the city.
ReplyDeleteokay, prove he hasn't done much.... does that make you happy Anon? The reality is that FEMA has been on top of Nashville, the floods and the tornado.
ReplyDeletechris can't prove otherwise and won't even attempt to.
