George Bush Hates White People


iowa_flooding.jpgThe midwest is flooding, but they seem to be handling it at the local level with firefighters and other rescuers. Where's FEMA? Where's Bush?

Three years after Hurricane Katrina almost hit New Orleans, the state of Louisiana still cannot do anything for themselves.

The Louisiana Recovery Authority announced that it was asking the federal government to return goods "that were intended to help disaster victims in Louisiana but were marked as surplus and remain unused."

"Many of these items are believed to be household goods that could help residents moving out of FEMA trailers re-establish their homes," the agency said.

The CNN investigation found FEMA gave away extensive stocks of items such as cots, cleansers, first-aid kits, coffee makers, camp stoves and other items that had been bought as "starter kits" for people living in trailers after the 2005 hurricane.

"There is a particular and critical need for exactly these materials -- especially household goods --- by organizations dealing with the critical problem and homelessness as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita," [Louisiana Democrat Senator Mary] Landrieu wrote. "One such organization is Unity of Greater New Orleans, which works with FEMA to house homeless hurricane victims and was featured prominently in the CNN piece."

And let's not forget all those folks down in New Orleans who three years later are still living in hotels on the tax dollar.

Katrina? Louisiana? According to the left, we've forgotten all about them.

We got word that Ft. Leavenworth was facing a serious flood threat along with our downtown. Everyone in my neighborhood turned out to spend a day filling and toting sand bags. Maybe we should've been more like the Katrina folks and waited around for someone else to handle things for us, then blame them for any failures while demanding years of free loot so we can continue to live near a flood plain?
