Peter Jennings on NBC Nightly News has an nighty portion called "The long road back" about the victims of Katrina and the work 'not' being done in the areas severly hit by the Hurricane.
A few weeks ago after he had shown that particular evenings report he said he wanted to reply to the large number of emails that he had been receiving regarding these nightly reports dealing with Katrina. The emails had basically been telling him, enough already, it was time to move on and that surely there were other stories in need of covering.
Jennings replied that he will continue to broadcast the nightly section " The long road back" until there is no longer a need to draw attention to the plight of the Gulf coast region and the Victims of Huriicane Katrina.
It struck me as repugnant that people thought that they had heard enough about Katrina and her Victims but unfortunately it didn't surprise me that there are people out there who think like this anymore.
It would seem that not only Bush and his administration don't care, some Americans don't either.
As for Bush knowing...well hey he is the President why wouldn't he know...the thing is did he care enough to do anything about it!
Actions speak louder than words.
The lives and reputations of fall guys and gals litter the 5 years that this crew has been in charge. Brown is only another FG...if they haven't taken responsibilty for anything else they have done before Katrina struck, and people would have to be completely blind not to admit there has been some serious maladministration in the last 5 years, why would anyone be surprised at the lack of response/responsibilty in the instance.
If Katrina had hit Florida......well that long road back would most likely have been a short path imo
