[...] who can forget Katrina? Yes, there were bad decisions made across the board, but as our leader, George Bush failed us all [...]

Ray Nagin handled Katrina like an incompetent buffoon. Why was this clown voted back in office? Is New Orleans a glutton for punishment or what?

To insinuate that the federal, state, and local government were all incompetent in their response to Hurricane Katrina would give them too much credit. To say they were incompetent would mean that they had good intentions but didn’t know what they were doing, which is wrong. They all had the resources. They just didn’t care. They weren’t gonna bend over backwards to help poor, disenfranchised, mostly black folks who don’t vote. They don’t have the power to hurt politicians, so they were treated as if they didn’t count, which is beyond shameful. Even with all we’ve been through as a people, I never thought I’d see something like that.
