Bush is an easy target for your name calling, he's just one man and whatever his feelings are about race or class wouldn't have any impact on a response from Americans to start helping PEOPLE affected by the flood. He's not gonna rescue anyone, that's not his job, he's a pencil pusher and hand shaker.

This is the point. PEOPLE would help, many want to. No one needs to steal or loot anything. Other countries are even helping. To see Americans justify looting and stealing is a troubling revelation and looks greedy and selfish especially when you see what is/was taken.

We all need to learn a lesson from this and we have. You won't see buracratic red tape slow the reaction time of rescuers again in the near future. And if a President has to apologize for a rescue response to an act of god, it probably won't be in our generation.
