There are always bigger things to worry about. One day I'm sure a comet will come at earth and people will point to Jerry Brucheimer and Armageddon and say "why didn't you take notes Mr. President? This is your fault".

Why is it the Federal Government's responsibilty to build a bigger dike for New Orleans. That is a city/state issue. I don't want my tax dollars to be spent towards a city that is on the coast and under sea level. I'd rather it be spent in my own back yards. There are plenty of improvements that can be made here. I'm not saying that what happened wasn't unfortunate, but if you go and buy a house 18ft below water then you are putting yourself in harms way.

Why did it take so long to get aid? I think people will continue to complain because they are unhappy. In reality the amount of time it took was not so bad. After all there are 200 thousand people sitting in my backyard now because of this within a week. Not to mention the fact that there were other issues at stake like looting and riots..... You can't just toss unarmed personel into the middle of a riot. Have to calm things down first. Then get them in. People were shooting at the medivacs when they came in. I don't blame them for holding off.
