OPRAH
Today Oprah brought her viewers up to date with the rebuilding and conditions on the gulf coast. Her guests included reporters Lisa Ling and Anderson Cooper. The stories today showed families living in many locations--- in the remains of buildings/homes, small campers, and hotels. Lisa Ling tried to investigate why thousands of FEMA campers have been sitting for months at a site, while families and the elderly are living in the most horrible situations (10 to a hotel room, an elderly woman in a apartment without a roof and water, families in a tent city).
One question Oprah had was, "Where is the leadership?" Unfortuately, we have not been able to count on our government for leadership. It is just incredible that our government has done little to help Americans along the coast. Shame one this administration.
ZERO VETOES (All Talk---No Cattle)
President Bush has promised to veto any legislation that would stop the sell of U.S. ports to a foreign country. Bush has threatened vetoes before, but he has not used one veto. Not one veto!!!!! I never, ever, ever agree with Republican Rep. Peter King of New York because I think he is an arrogant GOP fool. However, as hard as this is to say, ....I agree with him on this: Our country does not need a foreign country associated with terrorists to control our ports. Let Bush veto a bill to stop the sale. Americans will force their elected officials to override his veto. I think Karl "dirtbag" Rove said something like this----Bush is using "pre-9/11 thinking."
(I have to go wash out my brain now because I have agreed with Peter King and Rove. Ewwwwww! I feel dirty.)
