Dennis Kucinich speaks on House Floor
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1758283

“The Administration yesterday said that no one anticipated the breach of the levees. Did the Administration not see or care about the 2001 FEMA warning about the risk of a devastating hurricane hitting the people of New Orleans? Did it not know or care that civil and army engineers were warning for years about the consequences of failure to strengthen the flood control system? Was it aware or did it care that the very same Administration which decries the plight of the people today, cut from the budget tens of millions needed for Gulf-area flood control projects?

“Countless lives have been lost throughout the South with a cost of hundreds of billions in ruined homes, businesses, and the destruction of an entire physical and social infrastructure.

“The President said an hour ago that the Gulf Coast looks like it has been obliterated by a weapon. It has. Indifference is a weapon of mass destruction."

4. republicans in deep doo-doo
I remember when Bush was re-elected president, how many people I knew were just livid about Bush and disliking him, and I said - well the pendulum will swing and by the time of the next election, the republicans will have enough bad-acts that they are responsible for, so that it will be the democrats turn, and Hillary Clinton could run and get in.

5. Cool
Dennis is my Congressman and I wrote him last week about all of this. It's great to see him asking the questions.

7. I hope his continued "right on" pronouncements
dispel all the comments about his having "greasy hair" and "looking like the Keebler elf."

:grr:
