Wow...I have to say I found my way over to this blog http://daphnesadventures.blogspot.com/ through the Mr. Cactus! He had a de-lurk and pimp your site day! One of her friends gave her up. Anyway here is part of her post!
And don't just think this is about the lack of leadership from the White House. Where the hell are any of our leaders? Democrat or Republican. All I get are emails to send money to the Red Cross. Gee, thanks genius. Wow. That's an effort there. I can do that. America has no real leaders. You know what, let's elect the mayor of New Orleans as president. The man has not left the city. He has thrown down the facade of politics and is speaking like a human being, frustrated, pissed off and honest. If it wasn't so horrible, it would be refreshing. Or maybe one of the reporters on the ground, who are crying on tv, sickened by the conditions? Or how about Harry Connick, Jr, who is driving around NO as I type wondering why the NG can't do the same?
The Director of Homeland Security? Hello? Anyone home? Wasn't this supposed to be "your thing?" Boy, I sure feel safe now. If terrorists hit us now, God help us. I'm not a fan of guns, but I'm seriously thinking about building up my own arsenal and food supply since Red Dawn and Mad Max have converged on a major American city and the Worlds Only Superpower(TM) can't do a damn thing about it.
I am shamed by the lack of action, the lack of compassion and the lack of humanity coming from the people we depend on to keep us safe in times like these. I am heartened by the millions of Americans who are offering their homes and own lives to help those affected. I don't judge America by its leaders, I know we are better than that. But I certainly expect them to lead.
