Hang in there, Drince 88.

I agree. He got a lot of heated reactions for the inaction FEMA took initially. He's trying to pass on the blame to someone else. Nice.
Here's the quote that pissed me off last night:

It makes no sense to spend billions of dollars to rebuild a city that's 7 feet under sea level, House Speaker Dennis Hastert said of federal assistance for hurricane-devastated New Orleans.
"It looks like a lot of that place could be bulldozed," the Illinois Republican said in an interview Wednesday with the Daily Herald of Arlington Heights, Ill.

Uh, isn't Hastert 3rd in line to run this country should something happen to Bush and President Cheney? This isn't how a leader should be speaking as people are stranded and dying in New Orleans.
He retracted the statement today, but his hopeless attitude towards the rebuilding process is staggering.

It's almost as staggering as Bush's yet again uncaring attitude after a crisis.
