I wanted to take a moment and thank Louisianian Joe Bonnelli for
his
update on the hurricane Katrina aftermath. Yes, the disaster
continues
and worsens every day. As I mentioned a few days back, I
dread the
thought of what the recovery teams will discover in those
deluged
houses once the flood water eventually recedes. What really
upsets me
is the fact that when the initial evacuation was ordered, there
were no
provisions for the tens of thousands of people that either were
unable
or didn't have the means to evacuate. Both the state and
Federal
government should be ashamed of the way the evacuation was
and
continues to be handled. Basically, what is left in New Orleans
are
thousands of poor and sick people who were abandoned by
their
government and left to their own, extremely limited devices.
Now that
utter chaos, looting, illness, violence, hunger, thirst
and
hopelessness have resulted, the primary focus of the Federal
government
should be to get the people out and secure their safety --
not
tomorrow, or the day after that, BUT RIGHT NOW! I'm not going to
blame
President Bush directly for this woeful mishandling but I have
no
problem saying that I was disgusted that so much of Wednesday's
Oval
Office press conference focused on the oil production problems
and
gasoline prices. There will be time for that a few days or
a week
from now, but TODAY'S issue is life or death for thousands and I
was
totally appalled that even one minute of that conference was
dedicated
to oil industry issues.
I'm sorry if I've offended anyone
by my comments here but I've been
feeling physically and emotionally sick
about this all day.
Channing Thomson in San Francisco -- Goodnight --
and hoping that
tomorrow is a better
day!
