Disgraceful how the residents of New Orleans and Mississippi seemed to have been abandoned by their president who in a TV interview seem to be restraining a smile while answering a question about why help was not speedy enough to help his people.
Disgraceful how it seemed George Bush continued holidaying after visiting the people in New Orleans.
Disgraceful how there wasn't enough vehicles in the rescue efforts at New Orleans cos most were in Iraq.
Disgraceful how this was not planned and that it was a reactive effort rather than a standby plan that should have kicked in immediately after the devastation caused by the hurricane.
Another disgraceful racist act was by Associated Press who had the cheek to name the African-American youth who was carrying bread and water "a looter" but called a white couple, "residents" who found the items. Same actions, two different interpretations.
Were those in New Orleans and Mississippi forgotten? It looks like.

Afternote: Read this article and apparently the 2 photos are from 2 different wire agencies and my accusation of Associated Press (AP) is wrong cos a reader comment in this article says that AP names everyone, white, black or yellow, looters. The other photo of a white couple is from AFP/Getty Images and not AP as I had said earlier.
