Michael Moore, letter to the President
Friday, September 2nd, 2005
Dear Mr. Bush:
Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.
Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?
Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!
I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?
And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!
On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that.
There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.
No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!
You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.
Yours,
Michael Moore

P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your ranch. She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the way. Maybe you can catch up with them before they get to DC on September 21st.
Someone needs to shoot that fat fuck.

i think i'm going to side with vlad on this one.
quite annoying he is. everyone is entitled to their own opinion and he always makes it seem like his opinion is 100% and for everyone to follow. which is not the best for weak minded ppl or ppl who just listen to every single thing and believe it.
he makes good points n shit but enough is enough.

whatever.. FUCK him.
There are 50,000 troops on the way to NOLA, and starting off with a $10.5 BILLION bill that just passed for relief efforts to this hurricane. (and this 10.5 billion is only a first very small payment)
If anything.. blame the fucking Local and State government in Louisana. Since when was it the Presidents job to control what the local and State govnt does in situations like this? Is it the fucking President's job to get on a loud speaker and direct people out of the city for an evacuation? The Louisana government were the fucking idiots that didnt prepare for this. They are the fucking idiots that couldnt evacuate people... I know the left wing fucks are going to try everything in their power to blame the Bush admin. for this disaster... but Bush is doing everything in his fucking power to give anything and everything that they need for this recovery... including an UNLIMITED amount of helicopters, troops, and money.
The relief efforts has taken a while because the whole fucking city is flooded.. they cant get shit into the city because the roads are fucking destroyed and under water.
They cant make helicopter drops of goods because there are so many fucking people that there is nowhere to make drops. Since when was the last time a major flood and a major hurricane happened to a single city on the same exact day?
i personally am a big fan of michael moore... i saw his college tour shit when he came to UF... but u have to admit, even though u might hate the "fat fuck"; he is making people think and talk about politics and other current affairs

Michael Moore is such a fool. I just love how he always tries to place the blame on Bush. Russ is right, its not his fault.

| Originally posted by rhaney they had a dome that sits 70,000 people and the entire city knew to go there.. so i guess thats the president's fault also right? If people would have abided by the MANDITORY evacuation.. then it would be this bad.... but instead 100,000 people decided that this storm wouldnt have hit.. and they could tough it out. |

What exactly is Michael Moor's fat ass doing for this? How much of his bullshit 9-11 movie dollars is he donating to this relief effort? |

| Originally posted by Zewad as much as i dont like bush i will back up the gov on this one.. the amt of services needed throughout the entire gulf region are absolutly enormous... the logistics of getting any sort of equipment to NO that wasnt already damaged (which means this stuff ala equipment came from a long way away... like 150miles +) would take a hella long time b/c of the roads and rail all messed up.. plus getting that many troops and services and food and supply there that quick for 100,000+ people in a matter of days? nobody could have predicited it to have gotten this bad.. one of the main problems i see is that all food and all shelter was gone immediately so the food and water situation was also needed immediately.. reason why the situation got anarchic (is that a word?) in a matter of 2-3 days... just the defense dept bringing in that many troops to help out when all of 4 days ago they (the national guard) were at home watching the storm on TV like the rest of us.. then next day get the call to all ship tons of equipment down there.. and now they say an active army brigade from N Carolina is coming to help (from 82nd airborn) and those guys were for sure sitting on teh couch watching this on TV getting ready for their upcoming iraq tour in a few months... to get a call that everythign has just been changed for 2200 people to reorgainze all them and equipment to get there... im suprised they've done what they have so far... movement of this many people (the military) that fast is impossible... im very anti-bush but the gov. has actually done well and responed in all the ways it can... gas prices are like the least of their worries now... lives and the well nature of the people is 1st.. ok im done... btw.. __nut__ i see somebody else has also taken their quantitve analysis classes on climatological stats... i know you are meterology major.. |
do you not realize that most if not all of those people simply COULDNT get out? not everyone has a car, and enough money for gas to drive 300 miles and enough money for weeks of staying in a hotel. jesus.
Dude.. they had a week to prepare for it. They knew a CAT 3+ was headed their way.. and Louisana did NOTHING about it. There were people still in the last hour in the French Quarter drinking hurricanes because they did not think they were going to get hit. That is the LOCAL AUTHORITIES FAULT.
If people couldnt afford to leave town... then they had a LAST RESORT shelter called the Superdome.. so thats no excuse.
i cant tell you how many fucking times i saw on the weather channel (before katrina hit)..."THIS WILL BE A CATASTROPHE." i'm no meterologist, but i think i know storms pretty damn well and i knew this shit was going to happen. they talked about new orleans being below sea level being a problem for atleast a full day all over the news before the storm hit. how come it took bush THREE FUCKING DAYS to get off his ass and realize there was a problem.
so.. what exactly should the local and state governments supposed to do?? just sit there and let Bush do everything?
Look.. this argument could go on for days and days... but you dont see these problems happening in Mississippi and Alabama do ya?.. and the reason.. because the local and state government prepared for this... unlike Louisana.
Bush isn't a super hero. You can not fully avoid big disasters like this.
what can he do if the ppl can't even help themselves. He can't save everyone.
maybe it took him 3 days to go there because water was up to peoples roof tops.

| Originally posted by FallingMoon Dude...let me say this to you. You can't blame the people who stayed behind even if there was a MANDATORY evacuation. There are many people who underestimate the power of a hurricane and NO ONE really thinks of the worse possible scenarios, well at least not everyone. Take a perfect example of Hurricane Andrew and all the people who stayed in their homes. Fact is people even underestimated Katrina when it was coming here, I am guilty of it. I know it was NOWHERE near bad but it did more than MANY expected. What exactly did Bush do the day right after??? He didn't exactly hurry and fly his ass to see the damage, he was still on "vacation". I'm not say Moore is the voice of reason, because he can be a dumbfuck but don't sit there and defend Bush as if he were the perfect humanitarian president. |
