Lack of leadership indeed. I know the President can't really do anything, but he needs to at least be a symbol of leadeship. After 9/11, Guiliani didn't really do much, but he was a terrific symbol of leadership........the feeling that someone was in charge, that something was being done. He didn't just say it.....he lived it, he was in it. > I'm just shocked.

There are hundreds of things that should be done....and maybe they are.....but we aren't seeing it, and the people that need the help certainly aren't seeing it. > > How is it that that's not done?

The only thing i can assume, is that no contingency plan was ever put into place for the possible flooding of New Orleans.....which boggles the mind even more. > > And now the President is going to "tour" the area?

That's all president's ever do during natural disasters...tour the area and make comforting speeches. That's all they are supposed to do.....IF there is an effective relief effort taking place!!! With no organized effort in this case, the president's actions seem hollow and pointless. > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:172153 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
