The Bush Adminstration

I continue to be amazed at the callous behavior this government shows it's people. Monday morning I sent a mass email to everyone I know asking them to donate to the Red Cross or any charity they know of to help with this crisis. President Bush hadn't even made a statement at that point in time. I sent money myself and when I got a message on Wednesday from an employee at Electiononline.org I immediately ran out to Duane Reade to buy supplies to sent to a shelter in Louisiana. Yet, still President Bush hasn't sent the help he has so casually promised. My family members have already offered an apartment to a family from New Orleans for free for as long as they need it. We are doing our part. But when exactly is President Bush going to help the twenty thousand people sitting in the Superdome. We knew people were going there for shelter on Sunday. So why weren't National Guard troops lined up with dozens of vehicles to help transport them out of the city.
I sure didn't want this government here in the first place. But I never expected them to be so callus with the lives of my fellow patriots. President Bush continues to sent so many patriotic boys and girls over to their death in Iraq. And now he just lets the elderly, disabled and poor communities of New Orleans waste away and die in filth when we could save them.
