drmiler. Without Bush appointing Brown, there would not have been a Senate VOTE! This is Bush and his policy of giving jobs to people as pay back even though they are NOT QUALIFIED for the job! You continue to look like a FOOL when you defend Bush!

Big damn deal......Bush appointed Brown. Does that mean the senate automatically "has" to approve him?

And you continue to look like a fool while bashing him.

Really, this is so true. To all those who say life is now so hunky dory in Iraq, I suggest you go live there.

Just as I suggest the leftists who hate this war go fight for the "insurgents". If you take the time to read the good news out of Iraq instead of just what the liberal media tells you, you would see Iraq much differently.

As usual you avoid the question with blaming Bush. Yes Bush appointed him, but it's the job of Congress to approve him. I see the democrats have no problem investing a Supreme Court nominee, but this isn't important?

Every Bush appointee should not be voted on until ALL requested information is provided the Senate. Using that concept, NONE of the Bush appointees will EVER be approved by the Senate. Another option when all the information is not provided, is to vote NO! Lets start with Judge Roberts!

And why would that be? The admin has provided ALL documents requested. What I'd like to know is "why" the dems feel they need adoption and school records for his children. What do his kids have to do with his doing his job? And just an FYI, "ALL" of Brown's records were provided too. It didn't help did it?

The fact is that Bush has now fired the Director of FEMA or rather let him resign.At this very moment the city of New Orleans is being evacuated. It will be months before the city is habitable. Will the Federal or Local Govt bear the cost of rebuilding the devastated city. What about the communities that have been torn asunder. Will other states be asked to look afterr them till they can return home. Will 52 billion $ be enough to rebuild the three states. What about upgrading the leveexs to Hurricane 5 level. There are no answers. Only the Blame Game in DC.

WRONG! The answers are there. "You" just choose not to see them.

Yes, they will.

What about upgrading the leveexs to Hurricane 5 level.

It will be done. The question you "should" be asking is "WHY wasn't it done long before this"? Then they wouldn't have had this mess. And I do mean "years" ago. It has been known for quite some time (at least 30-40 years) that the leeves wouldn't survive even a full on hit from a catagory 3 let alone a 5! Why wasn't something done then? Where's everyones outrage on that? Naw, lets just bash Bush! After all it's his fault.

This type of whining makes me sick. Republicans are the "Get Rich" party, meaning they actually get off their butts and make something of themselves and don't start blaming others when tragedy strikes. Democrats are the "Gimme Gimme" Party. That mentality is what made all these crying poor people in a hurricane the kind of people that don't even know how to survive on their own because the government has done everything but wipe their rears for so long. Productive, resourceful citizens aren't the ones wailing and crying for help. they were prepared. They had water and food storage, they LISTENED when authorities told them to get the heck out of town. I haven't heard one person from the group of hurricane survivors say, "I should have been more prepared" ALl I've heard is how OTHER PEOPLE aren't doing enough. Those people didn't do a damn thing for themselves. "Be Prepared" isn't just a boyscout motto, it's common sense, and it can save your life. people need to take on some self-responsiblity for themselves. If you wait around for other people to save you, you might die before help arrives, and you have no one to blame but yourselves.

There is no question, the levees should have been rebuilt a long time ago. However, Bush is now president, and he like all the others was doing NOTHING. In fact he cut the funding to repair the levees below the levels under Clinton! Bush can spend $300 Billion in Iraq but almost nothing to rebuild New Orleans. Now the bill will be MUCH larger and the taxpayers can spend even more while continuing to dump Billions into a rat hole like Iraq!

Bahu's pitiful melodrama & Gene's pethetic hyperventilating. Great combo.

Col, you keep ignoring the fact that the "budget cuts" wouldn't have stopped the destruction that happened. You are just finding something to whine about. The state could have taken the hundreds of millions it used to build a sports arena and fix the problems since you say they were so bad.

He's right on this one col. You just keep on floating that boat....and we'll just keep on sinking it.

Had there not been this storm, Bush would still NEVER have begun the needed repairs. The cost was far too much for the state to cover and this port serves the entire nation. Those two issues made it a Federal issue that Bush was NOT addressing!

Bull! Hundeds of millions of dollars would have went a long way to at least starting the fix. What's more important? Building a new sports complex or upgrading the leeves?
