Subject: RE: BS: Hurricane AFTERMATH
Hey, just dropped in to see how Karl Rove's plan of reducing the administartion's role in the mistakes that *were* made into a blame game on local governments...

Ahhh, excuse me but did I dream up 9/11 here folks???

Did I dream up the Department of Homeland Security???

Did I dream up Bush appointing unqualified firends to run FEMA???

But worse than these, everyday that the Bush adminstartion does virually nuthin except pledge money, kinda like they did after the tzunami, is another day they missed the *leaderhip* boat...

Lets get half real here... The coastal region, including New Orleans, is one very dangerous place right now and it's going to get more dangerous as vast colonies of mold set in... Oh, this isn't gonna happen??? Sure, it is... It's happening as folk reduce this massive problem to bickering...

Rove is smiling...

And I don't see and leadership here at the federal level, where it needs to come from...

I ask myself what Slick Willie would have done??? Well, by now he would have in place something akin to a "Coastal Summit" with all kinds expwerts in all kinds of fieldas to discuss and come up with an over all paln for clean-up... He would also have another out-of-the-box thinking group of folks to make recommendation for the rebuiling (or not)/ re=development (or not) of the entire region...

These are the tough questions that only the feds can make seein' as it is a regional problem...

Clinton would have also, between blow jobs, appointed someone opf high stature to come up with recommendation on how the evacuee/refugees will be either assimilated into the society...

This isn't exclusively the Red Cross and Jerry GFalwell's responsibilyt but a much larger problem that is going to nedd mutilevels of assistence with basic needs, job training and decent jobs...

These are the discussions that *should* be taking place and everyday they don't is another day that the Bush administration is AWOL...
