=========================================
"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
===========================================
This is ludicrous !
The richest and most powerful country in the world
and we can't take care of our own ???
And what do you think our enemies see in this major weekness ?
Dave Kaspersin
"It makes me think of what my friend Rev. Goat just told me:
'Let me say this before it goes any further;
New Orleans didn't die of natural causes, she was murdered.'"
-- Bluesman Dr. John
"The president said he's going to lead the investigation
into what went wrong. He needs to look only in the mirror."
-- House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California
"What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary,
is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed
by the hospitality. … And so many of the people in the arena here,
you know, were underprivileged anyway,
so this is working very well for them."
-- Former first lady Barbara Bush
about Katrina evacuees housed in the Houston Astrodome
"This story's not about me. This story's about the worst
disaster of the history of our country that stretched every
government to its limit. And now we have to help these victims.
That's all I've wanted to do."
-- FEMA Director Michael Brown
"George Bush doesn't care about black people."
-- Kanye West, departing from his script on an
NBC telethon for Hurricane Katrina survivors

WAKE UP AMERICA - ITS TIME WE TOOK OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THE RICH !
Today more than anytime in history
The rich are getting obscenely richer
The poor are getting much poorer
And the middle class are working
harder then ever to keep their heads above
water and support EVERYTHING !
And many of the middle class are going under !
We have become a government
BY THE RICH - FOR THE RICH
AND THE RICH DO NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU OR ME !
The Majority of the TOP 2 PERCENT RICH ARE GREEDY PEOPLE
AND THEY TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER ON OUR BACKS !
