2. Hi, Aristus!
A timely and very tragic picture. What happened in the repsonse to Katrina is nothing short of criminal. I just don't understand how the President could still seem to care less about about losing an entire city due to a natural disaster!

:cry: :grr:

3. Simple; they weren't rich and white.
New Orleans is a blue city in a red state. The Clown Prince doesn't care about anything that he can't score political points off of.

13. Oh, I know.
That's a given. Still, you'd think he'd at least care about looking good as the President in that situation, but apparently not. The whole thing just makes me :grr:

8. Aristus, it's the perfect quote and photo

to capture that tragic, sad chapter in American history.

One year later, little is done to help New Orleans.

9. Very true, Kajsa.
There are actually many quotes from Shakespeare that could fit with a New Orleans Katrina pic. But I think posting too many might trivialize the devastation.
