It took cheney 4 hours to close a 500 mill HAL deal. It took Bush 4 days to get in any significant help to Hurricane victims. Right there is perfect proof of their priorities. They are now bragging that the disaster will create 25,000 jobs. But they don't tell us 10,000 died to create those jobs.

"Bush waited 4 days to bring in Federal help. There is no way in the world you can debate or explain away this fact." Of course there is, but the facts may bother you... The mayor issued a mandatory evacuation order over the weekend, but no one listened and the completely inept mayor did nothing about it... neither did the governor... those very stupid people brought much of their own misery upon themselves... the governor didn't ask for federal help until Wednesday, and by then it was already too late... Those demohack "leaders" would rather see their city in chaos with millions suffering and tens of thousands dead before asking for help from Bush, it's obvious to everyone now... How come those demohack "leaders" didn't ask for help? Everyone knows the feds can't move until asked by the State... of course, you didn't know that, did you? Ask Bush for help? The governor probably said, "Are you kidding? You want me to ask Bush for help? Over our dead bodies." And so it came to pass... What we witnessed in New Orleans is indeed the result of decades of a social welfare state that eliminated self reliance and personal initiative, the very sense of individualism that made our country great in the first place... you created it, now live with it...
