Olbermann: ".....and WHERE is the federal government?" |

prefaced by wondering how long it'll take to get the city back to any resemblance of itself
this is beyond imagination
"It is....chaos"

16. He is a hero and he is creating the video record of murder by incompetence |
|
Those poor people! I am so deeply ashamed to my core that THIS IS THE BEST WE CAN DO???!! We leave our own citizens to die abandoned and without aid? We can all stop slapping ourselves on the back now and forever about how wonderful, brave and strong we are. We left our own citizens ABANDONED and WITHOUT FOOD AND WATER. They are DYING!!!! We are headed by sociopathic morons who are unable to predict and respond in any reasonable fashion to AMERICAN CITIZENS IN AMERICA in extremis.
They must leave office. They are killing us.

4. Paula Zahn just asked a reporter in NOLA |
|
if he had seen any Federal assistance on the ground (after a harrowing report) . . . the connection via video phone was lost. Paula said she'd try again later.

12. i'm with you i wish i could load up supplies and just go there |
|
myself. something needs to be organized - our federal government has failed us. we need the teamsters to call up a convoy - let the citizens bring supplies to a location and they can go down there. these people need help now - they don't need jerk off bush holding meetings and phone calls.

14. OMG - I just watched on KO |
|
and the lady said "why aren't concerned citizens in convoys driving down here to help us?". That really hit me in the gut even more. Why aren't we? Our government isn't. Why aren't we? I WISH I was good at organizing, but I'm not. If someone will take the lead, I WILL FOLLOW!! Let's help those poor people!!

15. Lets work on a solution |
|
I'll be very glad to help head up an effort to get down there and help.
I'm in Eastern Tennessee, have S&R, PADI and First Aid certifications, as well as law enforcement expierence. I'll be glad to help in any way that I can, whatever that may be. I know of a few others here that are looking to join up in an effort - so lets do just that.
I know that the roads into NO are sealed, and the state police are threatening arrest for anyone that breaches the no entry zone. I'll see what we can do legally.

17. Tornado above has it right - the area is sealed... |
|
I understand a news blackout is being planned or considered within 24-48 hours as well, just when things will start to go critical mass.

8. I finally lost it in sadness over that photojournalist bit |
|
I'm angry at Bush a lot, but this really tops the chart-how incompetent does he have to be to let people die in chairs, law-abiding citizens who were following orders and who stole food just to survive?

Convention Center are orderly-they aren't pushing, shoving. Saying--it is safe--go get them.
