Um...Yeah.....I Was Wrrrrrrooonnn

I guess I got a little full of myself the other day regarding the Hurricane and the help we were offered. I guess I should have known better but there are times, regardless of political affiliation, that our own party lets us down.

So lets start at the beginning shall we. I am pretty sure that I was making fun of the fact that we help the world but the world doesn't help us. Well I was wrong about that because we have had over 50 countries offer help and relief, including Indonesia. In fact, the Russians have had people waiting for the call to send us relief in the form of helicopters, food, supplies and money. Fidel Castro has even offered aid to us and we haven't accepted any of it....Not yet anyway. Are we that full of ourselves to think that we can or more importantly should bare this devastation all ourselves......Jesus take the help.

Ok on to my other point, now this is going to a little two sided in that I am not sure there is anyone to blame but the outcome has been embarrassing. To tackle the negative, man we should of had supplies and relief in the hurricane hit areas much much quicker than four days later. Someone make a decision already, we knew the hurricane was coming for a week ahead of time. Now the other side of this, I am not sure anyone could have predicted the sheer size of this natural disaster, it was ugly and totally astonishing in size and scope. I mean how was anyone suppose to estimate that 80% of New Orleans would be under water? There were helicopters rescuing people the day after off the roof of homes, I know because I was watching it on TV, but the problem is that in any other disaster this would have been enough, not this time. So now try to put together relief for something of this size, it takes time people.

Ok last and maybe the hardest to admit but George W. Bush should never speak in public again without a pre-written speech. This guy is bad, I mean really really bad. Like any other person that has taken on a political identity we want to give our guy every chance we can but holy shnike how bad is this guy. 9/11 he was awesome, Hurricane Katrina....Embarrassing

Overall we want to blame someone, one person to take the brunt of the responsibility on this thing. In the coming months we are going to hear all kinds of blame, blacks versus whites, republicans versus democrat's, females versus males and even cats versus dogs. But lets please remember this isn't about political affiliation or race or even what kind of pet you prefer but rather this is a human issue....A mankind issue so lets start acting like it.
