From Michael Moore's webpage

"I assume the president's going to say he got bad intelligence... I think that wherever you see poverty, whether it's in the white rural community or the black urban community, you see that the resources have been sucked up into the war and tax cuts for the rich." -- Congressman Charles B. Rangel

"Many black people feel that their race, their property conditions and their voting patterns have been a factor in the response... I'm not saying that myself, but what's self-evident is that you have many poor people without a way out." -- Rev. Jesse Jackson

"In New Orleans, the disaster's impact underscores the intersection of race and class in a city where fully two-thirds of its residents are black and more than a quarter of the city lives in poverty. In the Lower Ninth Ward neighborhood, which was inundated by the floodwaters, more than 98 percent of the residents are black and more than a third live in poverty."
-- David Gonzalez, NY Times

"We've got to get a handle on the situation."
-- George W. Bush

1. They would be foolish to once again attempt that mantra, it would
surely come back to bite em, what kind of true leader would ever allow himself to be played twice to the tune of allowing American citizens to die needlessly, it would be the nail on the coffin, though I am a bit surprised that it has taken this long and thousands more dead before more people have awoken from this self imposed stupor of ignorance regarding the reliability of this administration to trully have their best interests at heart.

However, he's checked himself into a residential weight-loss program, so he's otherwise occupied, I guess. He does need to lose the weight, so he'll be around to fight the battles of the future.
