1. Isn't gross incompetence grounds for impeachment? |
|
Might this event finally show this administration for what it is? Corrupt and incompetent to the core.

Why won't they ask? I really think we need to slam the media, I have been writing and emailing this information. I think we need to attack the media until they are so sick of hearing from us about this. Or we need to find someone who will write about it, report it.
feeling helpless...sorry.:cry:

Looks like those threads need to be reposted to keep people informed. Some are still just catching on.

I see that there are threads with the most important info now in the "Greatest" forum, but I'll check periodically to see that they stay there.

as isoften the case, Keith Olbermann seems to be the only MSM person to make that point.
When I wrote MSNBC I thanked them for having the only Real Journo on TV.
Nominated.

Who expects the corporate owned media to showcase (p)Resident Incompetent's callousness and outright disdain toward vulnerable American cities? Ain't gonna happen. Ah! crap! :argh:

10. Do you know anything about Clinton's Program? I am curious. |
|
I am sure that it was a good program since Clinton put it in place. I was just wondering if you knew and if so, if you could share a little bit about it.

12. The Program developed over years to PREPARE for disasters BEFORE they |
|
occurred. Studies to best deal with a regions needs and to prevent worst case scenarios were given the funding necessary to develop and enact plans.
Some of the programs already developed were defunded.
I am sure there is alot more we will be learning as Katrina is forcing the media to look into this more.
Check LBN for an EXTREMELY important E&P piece about how the Times-Picayune featured NINE articles in 2004-2005 dealing directly with the defunding. It should be on the greatest page by now.
The answers are probably in those nine articles.
