Katrina - We are going there
Thank you to whomever put this together. And had the common sense to have Jimmy Carter narrate it. Beautiful. Remind people of what they'll get with McSame in office. Remind them of how MANY Americans are becoming the last, the least, the lost.

2. Of all the failures of the Bush administration, the response
to the people of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina ranks as the low point. I was transfixed by the coverage, and felt so much outrage at the Bush administration, FEMA, and other other agencies who allowed people to die in the street. It was America's worst hour.

3. I agree
I have never been so ashamed to be an American - as I was when we did not respond to our own in the Gulf Coast. It's not just N.O. - it's everyone down there.

Contrast that response with LBJ's - "This is your President. And I'm here."

I think with Barack we'd get the exact same response in the face of a hurricaine. Any of those people that were running against him? The same thing.
