Was it a pathetic, sickening, wrongfully slow response? Hell yes it was. Was it George Bush's fault? Um, no. Does our entire system need an overhaul? Fuck yeah it does. I've been saying that since I was old enough to notice how fucked up things are.
As for the Hitler comparison, I'm hoping you're joking because if you're not, that's a bit naive. Hitler killed 12 million Jews in cold blood. Bush's bodycount in Iraq isn't even a blip on the radar compared to that. (Or even a blip on the radar compared to the amount of people their suppressive tyrannical leader Saddam Hussein killed while in office, for that matter.) Hussein is much closer to Hitler than Bush, but even he is nowhere near Hitler's bodycount.
If Kerry was in office right now, there's no reason he would have been able to respond any quicker in New Orleans because, like I said, it was all the red tape they got caught up in. It's not like Bush was just sitting around with his feet up waiting for the right time to send help, it was beyond his control.

All the facts aren't out yet about New Orleans and why everything went wrong. But All I know is that people fucked up... bad. Aid wasn't even out fast enough, Buses weren't decoyed. Just like how the pre 9/11 information was disregarded, so was all the information about Katrina. All the politicians did was talk,talk,talk,talk, and didn't do shit when it happen. While Bush is posing for photo Ops when people are starving. We can drop food to the Iraqi families but not too poor black families ? We can't deny race didn't have something to do with this.
Bush was where when this happen ? Fucking Vacation again! Yeah. I am sure heads are going to roll for this :rolleyes: but its little too late to be firing people when the damage is done.
Bush has exploited all the people that died in 9/11 for a cause of War. 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq. yeah, "Fight them over there, so we don't have to face them at home". That’s why we are all so scared still, 4 years after the attacks. Lets send my generation to the dead, and if I speak against the war. I am un-American and don't support the troop. Supporting the troops is wanting them home and safe with their family!
Maybe The Hitler comment is... little to much, but not in my eyes. We only see the damage that is present, the future toll will prove much greater. Trust me
If Kerry was in office, all I know is that we wouldn't be in a unjust war. Would New Orleans look different ? We won't know.
