This is looking like Biden/Harris' Katrina.

Yeah, just like Katrina was Obama's fault.

Sometimes I really despise the anti-America cheerleading that Strawlighter does on a daily basis.
This is one of those times.

He pretends to be offended now ... ... ..

I'm not pretending, I'm deathly serious. People are dead and lives have been destroyed while we're still in the middle of this. My disgust is about the lack of respect shown to American citizens - be they government employees or not - who're currently doing all that they can to help people stranded by rivers of water destroying their lives.

It is not the time to criticize anyone when all one needs to do is read the ------- news reports showing how the government is doing all it can to respond. I don't care what party people belong to, but believe it or not, nobody asks for party affiliation when you're trying to save their lives.

I'm reading stories about people going through PTSD, having watched their entire town float down river, or a 75 year old man hang onto a tree for 8 hours while his friends weren't able to get to him because the water was flowing too fast, finally seeing him lose hold and get swept away in the raging water. I have no stomach for a fat ass bigot to spew his garbage when I know what he's saying not only is false, it demeans those who are doing everything they can to help these people, especially the federal government.

Why not offer prayers for these people and their rescuers and responders instead of taking a political dig for no reason whatsoever? In my eyes, he's dismissing all that's being done to help American citizens in need, when they need it.

I've never wanted anything for any American effected by a natural disaster other then they get the help they need from their government. There is simple nothing going on in these efforts - from planning, conditions and execution - where a rational person would look at the totality of information and say "It looks like a f-ed up response."

In my America we pull for each other, we don't take book with our money on the side of tragedy.

The leftEvery objective American absolutely pilloried W Bush over his and FEMA's handling of Katrina.

And it occurred mainly in the aftermath of the storm - and some during the woeful response where affected people were being rescued from rooftops on tv. It became obvious that President Bush had placed someone wholly incompetent in charge of FEMA who didn't have the organizational skills necessary to serve those Louisiana residents displaced by the storm, especially those who had to live in squalid conditions day after day inside the Superdome, right in the middle of a major American city.

While President Bush himself does an Air Force One flyover on his way to or from Texas and later declares his untrained and inadequate director was doing a "heck of a job" while people were struggling and dying due to his lack of comprehensive planning and not staging resources where they needed to be.

Have you seen any of the above reportedly occuring right now anywhere in the affected states? President Biden has personally called every single state governor dealing with storm damage and asked are they receiving the help that they need from the federal government and he's told each of them to call him should the need arise to address anything amiss in the coming days.

Did you read post #47's list of all the things the federal government is doing and supplying for those now in need of assistance? Does it seem lacking in any way, shape or form? Has government failed to anticipate the needs of its aggrieved citizens but for its immediate inability to replace washed-away roads and to instantly remove debris and impediments blocking access to many due to the mountainous terrain? If not, then why would anyone compare the response to Hurricane Katrina to Helene when the vastness and thoroughness of the devastation is spread out over multiple states, not concentrated primarily in one urban enclave?

There is no comparison and there never will be an apt one because the situations and responses are so vastly different and in no way share any similarities in process or execution that we know of yet. If and when - which I doubt - the time will come to critique the whole of Biden's governmental response to Helene, then so be it. But there is nothing so far to criticize based on every single response metric and White House involvement in providing immediate help for many people without access to all the public service infrastructure taken for granted to always be there before Helene destroyed them.
