[SIZE=+1]Nagin: Bush is killing New Orleans[/SIZE]
Link
Excerpt:
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin accused Bush of abandoning his legal obligation to help his city recover from Katrina. Nagin insisted that the city can't rebuild unless promised federal aid begins to flow.
"There is federal money out in cyberspace, there is money in the mail, ...but very little of that money has made it to our local governments and our citizens."
Under federal law, Bush is obliged to help restore New Orleans's vital infrastructure. Nagin said Bush has approved more than $900 million, but local officials have not been able to access most of it.
"We're here to say to the federal government: 'Honor the law,' " said Nagin.
Al Franken said Monday that less than one percent of money for Katrina victims has been delivered. He said there are 26,000 families who have applied for federal aid but that Bush's red-tape prevents 99 percent of them from receiving anything. Will America allow this to continue?
I think it's a damn shame that [FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]"New Orleans"[/SIZE][/FONT] isn't on the front page of every newspaper and on the nightly TV whore news every damn day, but we don't care because those victims are black.
If this was Providence, Rhose Island, where white people live, rebuilding would be Job One. But who cares about the poor darkies?
They probably voted Democrat anyway, right George?
