Olbermann: ".....and WHERE is the federal government?"

[Gabi Hayes]

prefaced by wondering how long it'll take to get the city back to any resemblance of itself

this is beyond imagination

"It is....chaos"

[leftchick]

1. omg did he say 15,000 in the convention center??

did I hear right?

[leftchick]

2. Tony Zumbado is a hero

getting the story of these people out!

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

16. He is a hero and he is creating the video record of murder by incompetence

Those poor people! I am so deeply ashamed to my core that THIS IS THE BEST WE CAN DO???!! We leave our own citizens to die abandoned and without aid? We can all stop slapping ourselves on the back now and forever about how wonderful, brave and strong we are. We left our own citizens ABANDONED and WITHOUT FOOD AND WATER. They are DYING!!!! We are headed by sociopathic morons who are unable to predict and respond in any reasonable fashion to AMERICAN CITIZENS IN AMERICA in extremis.

They must leave office. They are killing us.

[proud patriot]

3. I watching countdown right now

quote from my husband "he(bush) betrayed us , he hid
behind kids on 9/11/01 now look now don't you see freepers
look at what your man created "

....my man is pissed off ...

[Synnical]

4. Paula Zahn just asked a reporter in NOLA

if he had seen any Federal assistance on the ground (after a harrowing report) . . . the connection via video phone was lost. Paula said she'd try again later.

[leftchick]

5. did the baby the woman was trying to revive die??

omg. :cry:

[annabanana]

6. this is heartbreaking.... will they go in with guns or water?

How will these poor desperate people be treated?

[walldude]

20. Guns. Martial Law has already been declared

A media blackout is next.

[sickinohio]

7. OMG - I'm watching this and can do nothing but

CRY - I wish I could load my car with water and food and drive down there myself. I can't stand it. WHERE IS OUR GOVERNMENT!!! IMPEACH THESE BASTARDS! PROSECUTE THEM!! Innocent men, women and BABIES are dying and this government doesn't care!!

:mad: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[OhioBlue]

12. i'm with you i wish i could load up supplies and just go there

myself. something needs to be organized - our federal government has failed us. we need the teamsters to call up a convoy - let the citizens bring supplies to a location and they can go down there. these people need help now - they don't need jerk off bush holding meetings and phone calls.

[sickinohio]

14. OMG - I just watched on KO

and the lady said "why aren't concerned citizens in convoys driving down here to help us?". That really hit me in the gut even more. Why aren't we? Our government isn't. Why aren't we? I WISH I was good at organizing, but I'm not. If someone will take the lead, I WILL FOLLOW!! Let's help those poor people!!

[TornadoTN]

15. Lets work on a solution

I'll be very glad to help head up an effort to get down there and help.

I'm in Eastern Tennessee, have S&R, PADI and First Aid certifications, as well as law enforcement expierence. I'll be glad to help in any way that I can, whatever that may be. I know of a few others here that are looking to join up in an effort - so lets do just that.

I know that the roads into NO are sealed, and the state police are threatening arrest for anyone that breaches the no entry zone. I'll see what we can do legally.

19. Please keep me posted. I

have four days off of work beginning tomorrow. Let me know please!!

[ReadTomPaine]

17. Tornado above has it right - the area is sealed...

I understand a news blackout is being planned or considered within 24-48 hours as well, just when things will start to go critical mass.

[sickinohio]

18. A news black out? Just so we can't see

how cruel this administration is? Just because the MSM is finally turning into humans and exposing this administration??

[SaveAmerica]

21. A blackout is all the more reason for citizens to get involved, no

more coverups.

[liveoaktx]

8. I finally lost it in sadness over that photojournalist bit

I'm angry at Bush a lot, but this really tops the chart-how incompetent does he have to be to let people die in chairs, law-abiding citizens who were following orders and who stole food just to survive?

[AllieB]

9. I did too. I just called my mother bawling.

:cry:

[SeattleGirl]

22. I lost it too when I watched that.

I had read the east coaster's posts earlier about this piece, but when I actualy watched it myself, I could not stop the tears. Just couldn't stop 'em.

:cry:

[leftchick]

10. NO Plan: from NG!

oh God, Keith is killing them!

[MidnightWind]

11. He just pointed out that the crowds at both the Super Dome and the

Convention Center are orderly-they aren't pushing, shoving. Saying--it is safe--go get them.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Keith et al are doing a great job covering this. If only the rescue

efforts were half as good.
