As far as Katrina, imagine what the POTUS' response would been if the hurricane was going to touch down in a rish neighborhood?
First of all it would not have been in the news, and second it would have been the same if less because the rich people know they can handle things themselves and not to take gov handouts.
BTW, spelled RICH
Exactly.
The only people I feel sorry for in that whole mess were those in nursing homes and the handicapped, the local governments had failed them. But even at that, I have to ask these questions:
Where were their families? Why didn't go there and pick them up? There was a week's notice that a hurricane was to hit the area, and they did nothing? It's bad enough that one has to put his/her parents in a nursing home, it's even worse when one doesn't take them in the midst of danger.
This was a perfect example of the effects of big-government reliance (as advanced by Clinton and now, depressingly, President Bush. When are Americans going to stop relying on the Federal goverment for everything?
As for the rest,
they had ample time to get out (as I said, a week's notice) and they decided to stay. They shouldn't blame the Federal government government for their idiotic choices. When hurricane Andrew hit south Florida, 5 DAYS before they even showed up. They're lucky that the Federal government showed up in three.
