		<description>Talk about lies, how do you justify the fact that you intentionally misquote a press release and then portray it to be the truth. In the press release McClellan clearly said &quot;emergency declarations&quot;, not &quot;disaster declarations&quot;. If you do not beleive it, read it for yourself http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/09/20050901-2.html . Your &quot;UPDATE: McClellanâ€™s statement was incorrect.&quot;, should read &quot;UPDATE: I totally lied about McClellanâ€™s statement&quot;.

		<description>All I hear on talk radio and fox news is &quot;Dont blame the president&quot; ...WHY NOT?...If you or I mismanaged our job as badly as this....we&#039;d be fired.
He isn&#039;t King ...he&#039;s our employee and he has failed.
How long do we have to pretend that he&#039;s smart, truthful, competent, or caring of the common people.
As we speak the stepford congress is getting ready to 
pass another tax cut for the very wealthy even in the face of this new catastrophy.
once again he has disgraced us in front of the entire world.
He should be fired.
Thankyou Michael Moore...Bill Mahr.....Jon Stewart...
Al Franken...Jim Hightower...Jesse Jackson ....Molly Ivans...Cindy Sheehan and the wonderful legitimate press who exposed the callousness and ineptness  of this administration just by telling the truth.
I am in awe of your courage .

Bush declares emergency in Louisiana

Associated Press

CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush declared a state of emergency in Louisiana on Saturday because of the approach of Hurricane Katrina and his spokesman urged residents along the coast to heed authorities&#039; advice to evacuate.

Bush, vacationing at his ranch, was being regularly updated about the storm, which is expected to hit land early Monday, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

Officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency continue to coordinate with state authorities in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, and have prepositioned supplies in areas expected to be affected, he said.</description>

		<description>Cnn, Fox News, and all other media personnel seem to move in and out of the ravished area&#039;s rather easily. Why can&#039;t the goverment do it as well. People are suffering by the multitudes. But Fema can&#039;t even get them the basic essentials for life.....food &amp; water. People are going to die just from the lack of clean drinking water. This country can rush aid to the tsunami victims in Indonesia, spend a billion dollars a day to fund a war in Iraq. But when it comes to your own citizens, who have suffered the worst calamity this country has ever seen. It&#039;s a disgrace Mr.Bush for you to call on your own father and former &quot;President Clinton&quot; for help</description>

&lt;i&gt;Show me the part in the Constitution where the President is supposed to deal with hurricanes.&lt;/i&gt;

Isn&#039;t that a kick? Yes, redstate.org, the president shouldn&#039;t be dealing with hurricanes, it&#039;s a local and state issue. Brilliant. 

And they&#039;re kicking off anyone who makes a valid point.</description>

		<description>Look back at Bush an the crisis gathered: He sits on his ranch. Over and over, his government issues dire warnings of the hurricane that is coming. The mayor of New Orleans starts the evacuation. Bush sits there, still on vacation. The storm strikes. Still he sits there. Then he acts. What does he do? He extends a helping hand to the oil industry, releasing some oil from the reserves and cutting pollution control. But the price of gas to even higher levels. The industry need more profits. Only in America can an industrial giant get away with saying thereâ€™s a shortage when theyâ€™re swimming in surplus. And Bush? For him, itâ€™s one more payoff to his campaign contributors.

And the people of New Orleans? They sit on the baking rooftops and sidewalks. No water. No food. No help.

Then Bush acts again. He is decisive. On Wednesday, he gets in his plane and fliesâ€”flies real low, okay?â€”over the devastation. And then he goes to Washington and, as the papers say, â€œmobilizesâ€ the rescue effort. He says: â€œIt is so devastating that it is hard to describe it. Nine-eleven was a manmade attack. This was a natural disaster.

â€œNew Orleans is more devastated than New Yorkâ€” and just physically devastated as is the coast of Mississippi, so weâ€™ve got a lot of work to do and weâ€™ll get it done.â€

How would he know? Bush was sitting in a bunker under a cornfield on 9-11 while New York organized its own rescue.

He would not go to New York on that day. And now the best he can do is look out the window of his plane at the hurricane. His government says heâ€™d like to visitâ€”maybe even tomorrowâ€”but the White House wants to make sure the president doesnâ€™t impede the rescue effort.

So he sits in the White House while the people he governs, the people of the South, die in the heat because they canâ€™t get a glass of water in the wealthiest country of the world. No wonder there are looters.

The president mocks us all.</description>

And then he goes to Washington and, as the papers say, â€œmobilizesâ€ the rescue effort. He says: â€œIt is so devastating that it is hard to describe it. Nine-eleven was a manmade attack. This was a natural disaster.</p>
<p>â€œNew Orleans is more devastated than New Yorkâ€” and just physically devastated as is the coast of Mississippi, so weâ€™ve got a lot of work to do and weâ€™ll get it done.â€</p>
<p>How would he know? Bush was sitting in a bunker under a cornfield on 9-11 while New York organized its own rescue.</p>
<p>He would not go to New York on that day. And now the best he can do is look out the window of his plane at the hurricane. His government says heâ€™d like to visitâ€”maybe even tomorrowâ€”but the White House wants to make sure the president doesnâ€™t impede the rescue effort.</p>
<p>So he sits in the White House while the people he governs, the people of the South, die in the heat because they canâ€™t get a glass of water in the wealthiest country of the world. No wonder there are looters.</p>
<p>The president mocks us all.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=118858', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>#26 - the problem might not be with when the emergency was declared.  The fact is, Bush did indeed declare the situation a disaster in a somewhat timely manner.

The problem here is that NOBODY WAS MOBILIZED after the declaration was made.

Where are the military landing craft bringing supplies and hauling out refugees?  Where are the airdropped food supplies?  Where is the public announcement from WalMart that they are opening their stores in New Orleans _as their gift_ to the people in the area to help ease the suffering?</description>

		<description>An emergency declaration was made saturday. McClellan said the present declared a &quot;disaster declaration&quot; in advance of the hurricane. That&#039;s wrong. The disaster declaration was made over a week ago in response to a different storm. On saturday Bush made an &quot;emergency declaration.&quot;</description>

		<description>Yes, Brian, Bush does belong in prison. I hope we live to see him go there.

I was also suspicious of the transfer to the Houston Astrodome -- then I thought it was because it is probably the closest facility -- but now you add a bit more suspicion to my already huge distrust of this government.</description>

		<description>Did anyone see Jack Cafferty on CNN?  He ROCKED!!  He expressed his outrage over the (lack of) federal response, and had the guts to report that of all the many emails he&#039;d received, not ONE was satisfied with the response.  Hope this will wake the other MSM out of their neocon cheerleading comas.</description>
