Woman Stuck in Hotel in the FQ: "No Police, No NG, NO FEMA Nothing!"

[leftchick]

It is terrible. She is in the Ritz Carrolton Hotel and she said she is afraid no one is coming. Wolf asked her again No One is there to help? She said No On! There you have it! FEMA is not in the FQ either.

3. Where are all those police and troops that are reportedly there?

Where are they? They're not in the FQ or the dome or the convention center. Where the hell are they?

5. It seems the people in New Orleans have been abandoned.

I cannot believe that so little is being done to help them.

6. No Government. The situation in NO is the result.

8. You just hit the nail on the head THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT

The fundamental difference between Dems and Repugs

We feel gov't has a role to play in people's lives

They want to dismantle gov't - it's your problem -you own it

Welcome to DU

7. Just heard live on NPR a dutch reporter in NOLA saying the exact

same thing, yet the Gov. officials re telling us otherwise on TV. What the hell is going on!!!

9. Ritz Carlton

I heard her WHOLE conversation with Wolf Blitzer on CNN. She and her husband have been there since before the Hurricane hit. They tried to go back home to Maryland, but before they could, all the airports shut down. They were there to celebrate thier anniversary. There are about 300 guests there, and the hotel HIRED special buses to get them out as soon as the water started receding. In the meantime they are running out of food and water, that the hotel provided. She had a cookie, and half a glass of water for breakfast. They are much better off than the poor people on the streets !! So before anyone thinks that I have more empathy for these people than the others suffering souls, the point I want to make, which is the heart of my post is,the buses that the hotel hired to get their guests out, WERE COMMANDEERED BY FEMA!!!!! This lady said that of the buses that were loaded with people, were taken by Fema, and no one has any idea where they were taken, and they took the rest of the buses for their own purposes!! ANY COMMENTS?
