Chicago's offer to send help rejected by Feds

[mnhtnbb]

As early as last Sunday aid was offered from Chicago and rejected by the Feds. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of this kind of story surface.

The mismanagement of this disaster borders on the criminal. The Bush gang has to go. We can't afford to wait for 2008.

1. The people who are to reap a windfall from Katrina have already been

selected.

Others coming in will only dilute the profits.

Capitalism is double plus good in disasters!

2. I say we send Bush in NO SD and lock him in with the

people and let them take their anger upon him. I just saw some footage of old sick people waiting in line all day to go to the hospital only to be told to come back at 9:00 in the morning the next day. That is what is happening, keep promising and then not delivering, these people have no hope because they have been fed false hope for so long....

4. My repub Dad brought this up over pizza last night.

He said he couldn't understand the actions of the Feds.

We were in a restaurant, so I just shrugged. I didn't want to spoil dinner.
