Bush Lied, New Orleans Died

LA Gov. Blanco Asked Bush for Assistance on 8/28

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT


The elected Governor of Louisiana requested immediate assistance from the unelected dictator of the United States before Hurricane Katrina hit. Now the GOP storm troopers and their minions in the corporate press want to blame the locals for a catastrophe beyond the ability of both the Louisiana State Government and the New Orleans City Government to handle promptly or completely.
The bottom line: Bush lied about no one expecting a disaster. And his failure to act resulted in the deaths of as many as 10,000 U.S. citizens. Remember this: On August 5, 2001, when Bush was on vacation, he was briefed on bin Laden expecting to attack U.S. cities with hijacked airplanes, yet Bush did nothing.

In Iraq, Bush lied and our soldiers and Iraqis died. With the latest failure, Bush lied and residents of New Orleans died.

Here’s the LA Governor’s request to the idiot in the White House who did nothing for a nearly a week (oh, but the GOP still wants a tax break for the rich while the urban poor starve to death…):
