Rapper Kanye West Ruins NBC Katrina Relief Show
Alright....I am certainly not a Bush fan by any means. Actually I hate him. Nevertheless, I can't say I agree with what some people are pointing at Bush. During a live televised Katrina relief show, rapper Kayne West went off his mind and let the American people know that Bush is a racist and doesn't give a crap about minorities. West said "George Bush doesn't care about black people," "They're saying black families are looting and white families are just looking for food...they're giving the (Army) permission to shoot us". Talk about creating a hostile enviornment in times of need. I mean, Laura bush said "The president cares about all the people of America" Thats good enough right?? "After all, I live with him, and know him best.. OK LAURA...
While I am sure George Bush has his own views -- it is a known fact that the hardest hit areas by Katrina happened to have been low income areas. It also just happens to be that most of the population is black. West then suggested that the slow relief efforts are based on the fact that most of the region is Black and that it was completely a deliberate attempt at slow relief efforts. Personally, I think the government could have done a a better, speedier job at this. But folks, lets face it -- it was a fucking aquarium and almost impossible. It was also the biggest natural disaster in history -- We are still not sure how to tackle problems like that.
And last- Michael Brown steps down as FEMA cheif. He will be replaced by Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad W. Allen. Allen was overseeing the relief efforts during Katrina.

Yeah, Michael Brown stepped down, but because he's totally unqualified. I think the highest position he had was intern to a city manager of a medium sized town.... Sketchy, but Bush is leading by example unfortunately. No one has to be qualified to do much of anything in govt except shake hands and kiss babies.
I'd rather us go back to the collegiate-lifestyle White House where people are up late working and thinking about the future and how to solve problems. Bring back Clinton!
