Papa Bush just compared the lousy relief response to
losing a football game. He is making a lot of jokes now, and lots of laughter from the audience. Stupidity and insensitivity must be inherited traits. Clinton being very serious in his answer. He didn't go along with the jokes. Good for him!

33. I don't hate him at all, loved him as president
Jyust saying, he DOES know what happened to the money & needs to say it. I'd vote for him again as president if I could. You obviously made an assumption from my post that wasn't there.

34. what happened to the money?
I assume that Bush didn't ask for it and that Congress did not appropriate it. Do you have any more specific information?

35. Bush specifically cut the funding for it
Three years in a row. The Corps of Engineers requested it & * denied it, Tha's what happened to it.

36. Do you have a source for that?
I have heard it here many times but I have never seen anything actually authoritative about it. Did he specifically deny it or did he reduce it? Did the Corps request it? What did Louisiana's congressional delegation do? Did they attempt to get it reinstated in the appropriation bills? It ALWAYS takes both the legislative and the executive to cut funding.

13. I read that Prescott bu$h taught his kids to have great disdain for

20. Isn't that something? Can you imagine being president and having your
mommy and daddy threatening people who disagree with you? This proves the Bush's think they are royalty.

Everyone was having a good laugh with Poppy too. Then Clinton set the press conference straight with some sober thoughts about the victims and how fema should be organized

7. Like father like son. Jr's sidetrip to his Houston days of partying in the
middle of a press conference last week made me wonder what the hell is he tripping on.

11. If anyone tries to criticize Babs' son to Babs' face...
...they'd better wear a flak jacket, according to Poppy. Would that be the same, inadequate flak jackets given to our troops in Iraq, Poppy?:grr:

18. For the Repugs it's all about business and property
For the Dems it's all about people. That is the difference between us and them That is the difference between the anti-chirsts and the christs.

21. They can gloss over all they want but as long as I live
I will always remember what happened to the people of NO and I will hold my government responsible for it. The death, the starvation and suffering was beyond anything we would ever imagine. I will never forget it ever....

27. Don't forget the Wal-mart jobs. Corporations are stepping up. Gag!
I didn't hear him say anything about Halliburton donating any money and offering the first jobs to the people of NO. And i'm asking myself why is Bubba hanging with Poppy??? Couldn't he have aligned himself with a less corrupt group?
