How can you say a city that brings in billons of $$$ or is rich in history/culture is not important enough to build a bigger levee. We can spend a S---- load of money to help other countries out but when it comes to the improvement of my home state its not a major concern? As far as the Gov. of LA not doing her part oh trust me she did. What the White House doesn't catch CNN so he couldn't see what was going on...oh wait I forgot he was in Waco raising money for Iraq (it was all over the news here in Houston). Let me shut up before I catch a treason charge.

Yeah. (I hope I don't have to quote everyone as I review the thread LOL) AND, the budget was cut!!!
Senator Mary Landrieu had to remind a CNN correspondent early last week that if it wasn't for Louisiana, we would not have the country we do today. Louisiana/LP was the port responsible for getting goods and services to the rest of the country.
Its amazing (as I watch) C-SPAN that I see a picture of Louisiana and our eroding coastline. I guess something good has to come out of this.
The Congressional Hearings are going to be a mess. Mike Brown is shakes in his boots everytime a reporter asks him about his fate with FEMA and who is responsible for this fiasco.
