I concur.

It’s funny how liberals know better what we think than our own selves.

And it’s funny how liberals give us the option to respond by researching and setting the record straight on an issue or be quiet and let them mischaracterize without responding to them.

Then after we respond make additional accusations about our response.

Yes, finally. At the time I posted my comment, however, she had not (outside of that off the record comment CNN caught on tape in between network interviews).

“You’re not willing to acknowledge things went wrong at the federal government level”

That’s not true. I’ve acknowledged there were response problems at the federal level but maintain that the bulk of the problems were on the shoulders of local and state officials and I still maintain that. It is the people trying to blame ALL of this on President Bush who need to understand that it wasn’t all his fault. But generally, partisans won’t even entertain that possibility, much less actually admit it. I KNOW there were problems at all levels. Unfortunately, others out there only want to pin the blame at one person. That’s a real shame. Please don’t waste your time trying to convince me otherwise because I’ve posted about it and read about it enough to know better than to pin all of this on one person.

Governor Blanco did take responsibility for what went wrong at the state level.

“We all know that there were failures at every level of government: state, federal and local. At the state level, we must take a careful look at what went wrong and make sure it never happens again. The buck stops here, and as your governor, I take full responsibility,” Blanco told lawmakers in a special meeting of the Louisiana Legislature.

At least she is willing to acknowledge things went wrong at the state level. You’re not willing to acknowledge things went wrong at the federal government level even though President Bush has acknowledged this.

I think that is a great point and was exactly what the President was trying to get across. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at how the media is spinning his comments …

Camo: That’s a fantastic site I visit it often.

Evon: I doubt you’ll hear anything remotely like that coming from Landrieu and Nagin. And the only way you’ll hear it from Blanco is if you happen to catch her discussing it between network interviews with her press sec.

I just love how the left is trying to spin Bush’s comment yesterday:

“Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government,” Bush said. “And to the extent that the federal government didn’t fully do its job ri…

It merely says reorganize and do better. And fix the cumbersome problems of state/federal command that occured here.

The worst thing the Democrats can do is keep Katrina/NO in the news. People aren’t fools. Slowly they will contrast the utter chaos produced by La. authorities to their visual ideal of good government.

Calmness is exactly what people want in a leader; for better or worse Bush quietly shows up for work every day and says things will be OK.

The Democratic Party, of which I am still an agonized member, will overplay this just as they have every issue since Bush took office. Cindy and JJ, the Als – Sharpton and Gore – Maxine and Nancy, Charles and Ted, Blanco and Landrieu will be in the news turning off voters from coast to coast.
