ABC News producers probably didn't hear what they expected when they sent Dean Reynolds to the Houston Astrodome's parking lot to get reaction to President Bush's speech from black evacuees from New Orleans. Instead of denouncing Bush and blaming him for their plight, they praised Bush and blamed local officials. Reynolds asked Connie London: "Did you harbor any anger toward the President because of the slow federal response?" She rejected the premise: "No, none whatsoever, because I feel like our city and our state government should have been there before the federal government was called in.” She pointed out: “They had RTA buses, Greyhound buses, school buses, that was just sitting there going under water when they could have been evacuating people."

Its funny.....this article has been touted by every rightie on SI. Always they provide it without a link......I wonder why?

As for Connie London, I suspect her position will change when she gets caught up on the news. Then again, like you, she may not understand what levels of gov't are responsible for what in a disaster. Then again, like you, she might be a die hard GOPer and Bush supporter. That means, like you, the facts will have no bearing on her position.
