Katrina Survivors Praise Bush and Blame Nagin, ---did anyone else see this?---
 
Actually I posted on this before, but here is video.

Quote:

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." Not one of the six people interviewed on camera had a bad word for Bush -- despite Reynolds' best efforts. Reynolds goaded: "Was there anything that you found hard to believe that he said, that you thought, well, that's nice rhetoric, but, you know, the proof is in the pudding?" Brenda Marshall answered, "No, I didn't," prompting Reynolds to marvel to anchor Ted Koppel: "Very little skepticism here."

Yes, because they speak for the majority. ;) That's why a quick glimpse through the neighborhoods ravaged by Katrina have things like "F*ck Bush" and "F*ck FEMA" spraypainted on the houses. You must seriously be delusional to think they don't blame Bush and the federal government for the disaster that happened after the storm hit.

I think it's safe to say that there's blame on everyone's shoulders. Unfortunately for Bush and FEMA, they were the ones who f*cked up big time after the storm hit and the levees broke and the public knows it.

And that is very understandable. However it is times like this where we must all get out our "WWRD" wrist bands!
