Why isn't the 9th district being cleaned up in New Orleans?

Bush is just a fag who likes to bomb other countries and take over them. He likes to accuse people of having weapons of mass descruction, and only helped Florida in their time of need because his brother runs the state... :P\n\nAnd plus, the cost of the war in Iraq is running us about 244 billion dollars, and is increasing about 1,000 dollars every SECOND! Do you think you would be able to afford to help some people in tragedy if you were wasting all your money shooting people?!\n\nI dunno. Maybe Bush isn't doing anything because he got mad at the traffic during Marti Gras. Hey, you never know...

because people have lived there all their lvies and want to rebuild, and its one of those things that you cant really say "no" to without looking like a total a$$ hole and riling up tensions so politicians just give them however much money they want even though rebuilding elsewhere is without a question the logical thing to do. plus youd probably get called a racist.\n\ni could hardly tell what damage the flood caused and what was there before, the place was a dump to begin with

The people of new orleans were ignored by their local and state governments. President Bush declared it a disaster before the huricane hit, allowing the local government to use anything it could think of to evacuate at the federal governments expence. The city and the state left busses that could be used for evacuations below sea level, told an Amtrac Train executive that they did not need an empty train to use for evacuations two days before Katrina hit. The people were treated badly, but it was by their local elected officials who did not want to use the help they were given, and did not specify afterward what kind of help they needed. It is actually against the law for the federal government to step in and take over, the Constitution of the United States" does not let them do it.

Try the New Orleans website. It should list the Mayor's secretary's number. They will leave a message for the Mayor.\n\nBut if you're just looking to help out, contact the Red Cross or Salvation Army.

I think New Orleans needs at least one Bush that will help them.

I assume you are either referring to the shooting in Atlanta or the one in NYC.\nIn response to either, the answer is no.\nThey don't have to clean up anything. They don't have to explain anything. That's what the public affairs unit does.

You are doing a project on New orleans, and you can't find anything good???\n\nWhere have you been looking???\n\nDid you try a SEARCH ENGINE????\n\nWith the fact that it's been in the news once a week, EVERY week for the last year, you should have NO PROBLEM with this...

There are too many candidates in this race. There will surely be a runoff election as no single candidate is going to end up with over 50% of the vote, which is required by NOLA law to be declared the winner.

yep, it makes sence.\n1)  Katrina was a fluke.  It is something that engineers expect to see once every 100-200 years.  No reason to waste time & resources planning for such a rare occasion.  It would cost more to plan for that event than to rebuild.\n2)  New Orleans is a very important port city because of its access to the Mississippi river.  Lots of shipping to midwestern states.\n3)  There is too much pride in our government to ignore one of our own cities when billions of our tax money goes to helping other countries deal with similar tragedies.\n4)  There is a lot of money to be made in the new New Orleans.  This is a chance to adjust zoning laws to attract new businesses.\n5)  The failure to respond exposed massive city corruption that will be corrected so that the city will have a second chance to prosper instead of being dragged down by red tape.  This will also attract more businesses to the city.\n\nIf America was to abandon every city that was struck by tragedy these cities would not exist today:\nWashington, D.C. - War of 1812\nSan Francisco - Earthquake\nChicago - Fire\nAtlanta - Civil War

It's so they can doctor them up. They are spying on the Democrat party, and he is the puppet. The whole thing is a no-brainer. The Republicans did everything they could to take New Orleans away from the Democrats. Now it's this method, and you will see more crime and corruption to come.

Man, you should have seen the state of the Oval Office when my boy Bill left: pizza boxes, empty forties, condom rappers all over the place!  Don't even get me started on the Lincoln Bedroom!  Anyway, Bush had all that stuff cleaned up by the summer of 2002, so no he's not currently cleaning up Clinton's mess.

I think maybe it was some kind of "you don't change horses in the middle of the stream" mentality...kind of like why we kept re-electing FDR during WWII. It's too bad Katrina didn't hit in 2004 so everyone could see what a bunch of incompetent ninnies his administration was made up of BEFORE the election.

ok bush defenders...he cut the budget that would pay to upkeep and fix the levies.  And since when does the president have no authority in a national disastor? I suppose he shouldnt have done anything during 911 either, oh wait...he didnt do anything except read a book to little kids for a PR stunt. But anyway, of course it wasnt his fault.  I mean the city of new orleans should have been able to pay for the extremly expensive repairs and maintenace needed to protect millions of U.S. citizens without any help from the feds.  I guess we should send nevada and las vegas the bill for the hoover damn now.  get your heads out of your bums,  take responsibility for your misguided republican vote, and accept morality and rational thought into your lives.

I dont know..i have a hard time with giving billions of dollars to a city where people chose to live below sea level and that will likely flood again in the future.  Many of New Orleans residence have found homes elsewhere and will not be returning. The ones that do should have insurance, right?  Why should we pay for them to rebuild?

I asked this here 4 months ago and again 2 months ago, and everyone thought ole Mayor Nagin had a handle on it. Bull crap!! He has done nothing to search for those bodies in the houses. Only when the National guard was there they were searched for. Or when sad family member came home looking. I can't believe they voted this man in again. One week after Katrina there was a news report that he went and bought a brand new large home in Texas. His clothes back then started to get richer looking. He is a complete moron!!
