It was a total, preventable failure of historic proportions on the part of the Bush Administration. Anyone in the private sector would have lost his job over it, but Bush dodged impeachment because he has too many allies in Congress.\n\nA shameful chapter among many in our history that have occurred on Bush's watch.

The welfare of the Katrina victims and make sure the money donated gets to the people who actually need it!(May God have mercy on your soul, the ones who made claims and were not victims)\n\nAlso, global warming and the perverts on the internet trying to sleep with children boys and girls(i'm a mother this truly concerns me).

Finally, we have discovered the roots of George W. Bush's "compassionate conservatism." \n\nOn the heels of the president's "What, me worry?" response to the death, destruction and dislocation that followed upon Hurricane Katrina comes the news of his mother's Labor Day visit with hurricane evacuees at the Astrodome in Houston. \n\nCommenting on the facilities that have been set up for the evacuees — cots crammed side-by-side in a huge stadium where the lights never go out and the sound of sobbing children never completely ceases — former first lady Barbara Bush concluded that the poor people of New Orleans had lucked out. \n\n"Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them," Mrs. Bush told American Public Media's "Marketplace" program, before returning to her multi-million dollar Houston home. \n\nOn the tape of the interview, Mrs. Bush chuckles audibly as she observes just how great things are going for families that are separated from loved ones, people who have been forced to abandon their homes and the only community where they have ever lived, and parents who are explaining to children that their pets, their toys and in some cases their friends may be lost forever. Perhaps the former first lady was amusing herself with the notion that evacuees without bread could eat cake. \n\nAt the very least, she was expressing a measure of empathy commensurate with that evidenced by her son during his fly-ins for disaster-zone photo opportunities. \n\nOn Friday, when even Republican lawmakers were giving the federal government an "F" for its response to the crisis, President Bush heaped praise on embattled Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown. As thousands of victims of the hurricane continued to plead for food, water, shelter, medical care and a way out of the nightmare to which federal neglect had consigned them, Brown cheerily announced that "people are getting the help they need." \n\nBarbara Bush's son put his arm around the addled FEMA functionary and declared, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." \n\nLike mother, like son. \n\nEven when a hurricane hits, the apple does not fall far from the tree. \n\n\nBy John Nichols\nReprinted with permission from The Nation.

not anymore.\nreasons:\n1. we got our own problems with Katrina.\n2. All the other countries hate us now so we don't want to help them anymore since they will hate us even more and try to kill us.

I live in West Tennessee and thankfully the tornadoes went past us this time. Still trying to recover from the ones that struck our neighborhood on April 2. Feel sorry for those people in middle tennessee.

Forget FEMA, ... the debacle was that people in the gulf-coast actually thought that government would rescue them.   We will know better next time.  The government is completely broken.

I was in New Orleans the day before Hurricane Katrina hit. When we were evacuating the city we passed by very poor neighborhoods. Most of the people living in those neighborhoods were African American. They were sitting on the porches waving to us. I asked my boyfriend why they weren't leaving and he said they didn't have enough money for gas, food, hotel etc.. I don't think its the entire black race that feels this way about it. Just those in New Orleans who did not have enough money to evacuate.

I was at home in New Orleans. I live on the second floor of my building, so I didn't get flooded, but the whole neighborhood did.  I never realized just how loud a hurricane could be. Katrina is the fourth one I've stayed for, and it was the noisiest.  The worst moment was when the siding ripped off and slammed against the windows, then the laundry room roof blew off.

Great for PR for a team that deserves it, and Morale for a state that needs it, especially after Katrina. I have been down there and worked with some of the people that live there and they were wonderful to me and treated me like family, so I wish them all the best.

There are alot of questions here so I'll try to answer them all.\n\n"When New Orleans was hit with the hurricane and wiped off the map, in my heart I felt I should give money to help the people. That was just common nature for a U. S. citizen to naturally do for our country or other country's around the world no mater what type of government they have in place." \n\nI feel two ways about this matter.  One is this Country gives to much monney to other Countrys and not enoth to this one.  But at the same time the people in Orleans where asked to leve and did not they had two weeks to pack up and leve but they did not.  What could we have done when so many people picked not to leve?\n\n"What I am concerned with is if the money I gave, got to a PERSON from that specific state or other country I sent the money to?"\n\nQuestion?  Who did you give you're money to?\nJust waching MSNBC and they said that there was alot of "fraud and abuse" that people where doing over there.  (check out url for more info.)  Makes you feel just a tad less sorry for these people.\n\n"Why is it that our government can't take responsibility and pay up, for there mistake in the first place. From what I have read, it was known that those levies could not hold a category 4 or 5 hurricane years or decades ago, but failed to strengthen them back when it was first discovered? \n\nI don't think any mistakes where made.  The truth is that  New Orleans is sinking as it stands now New Orleans is lower then sea level.  The reasons that thoes levies have not been fixed are one the cost is to grate for a city that is sinking and two they don't even know if it's posablem to fix them.  Even if they are fixed and we get another "Katrina" it's posable for this to happen again and again.  "IF" we do fix these levies we are putting peoples lives at risk.\n\n"Do you think it was rude of the two presidents to ask us to give more money when it is our nature to give, even until it hurts?"\n\nDo I think it's rude?  No, I don't.  \n\n"Did you help when 911 happened ?"\nYes, but I feel as if it was not enoth\n\n"or Live Aid?\nor Live8?"\n\nLive Aid, No.  Or Live8 don't know what that is.

In my personal opinion, it was a failure of communication.  Everybody seemed to want to be in charge at that point.(city,state,federal etc.)  But nobody actually took the bull by the horns to make the very important decisions that needed to be made at the last minute. \nOnce the hurricane did hit,  the were no communications what so ever. No cell phone, no radio, nothing, for I think it was 4 or 5 days.  Nothing but each other.  \nIn short, to many chiefs and not enough Indians.\nI would like to note, that New Orleans was not the only affected area by the hurricane.
