Why has politics and finger pointing come into play in the wake of Hurricane Katrina? People still need to be rescued and people are already quick to play the blame game. By doing this you and/or the politicians are doing a disservice to the victims as well as to the United States. We are suppose to be pulling together as a nation and give a helping hand in any way possible. Granted there has been a rousing amount of support both as a nation and from the world but blaming the President is not helping anyone. I don't know why it took President Bush 24 hours to react after the levee broke in New Orleans? But why was New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco completely unprepared for protecting there citizens...See my point, it goes up the food chain. There should absolutely be no Party lines, race, religion, etc. be in play here we are all in this together. No boundaries! (I can give you a long list of those people who are too busy pointing fingers and not thinking of their fellow Americans. So don't get me started.) The blame game should be left too much after the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama get back on there feet again. Then and only then can we see the errors that have been made locally and federally. From there we can fix those mistakes move forward and be prepared. But first we must think of our fellow American's in their time of need. http://www.redcross.org/donate/donate.html. http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/USNSAHome.htm You can also make donations in person at your local Wal-Mart or Sam's Club Military families needing assistance locating loved ones and finding support for their families should contact www.militaryonesource.com or call 1-800-342-9647.
