2. That's because guests at the Hyatt NO are really nice white folks

...many of whom are often members of Bush's base.:sarcasm:

4. now why was that allowed to pass when the water from WalMart and

other supplies were not?

5. No doubt hired by Hyatt,

which I think is just fine - but it proves that things that weren't done could have been done, had anybody in the government had bothered to try.

9. I agree...

I live in Baton Rouge, but work in St. Charles Parish (very near the New Orleans airport in Jefferson Parish). Despite roadblocks and flooding, we were able to get to our building and had corporate HQ send in plenty of water and a 55 kilowatt generator to power up the building.

I can't call this item proof that there was a race or class issue going into play, but it damn sure proves that if somebody had actually tried to do something to help they could have succeeded.

6. This is the real shame of it all. And the victims need to know this so

they won't be fooled by the mind game that is going to be put on them by the neocons running the WH.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. And this wasn't about class and race? BULLSHIT!!!!! nt

8. On Wednesday?......Damn!

BushCo couldn't get anything though till Friday.



Demand resignations! Now!

10. That's because Bush didn't arrive...

...until Friday. They held off, so it could appear that he was "leading the cavalry". Of course, it was a fake cavalry and a staged photo op, but who cares, he doesn't give a shit about these people....
