Title: Democrats strike different tone on Katrina

Democrats strike different tone on Katrina (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090219/ap_on_go_pr_wh/stimulus_katrina)

WASHINGTON – The economic stimulus signed by President Barack Obama will spread billions of dollars across the country to spruce up aging roads and bridges. But there's not a dime specifically dedicated to fixing leftover damage from Hurricane Katrina.

And there's no outrage about it.

Democrats who routinely criticized President George W. Bush for not sending more money to the Gulf Coast appear to be giving Obama the benefit of the doubt in his first major spending initiative. Even the Gulf's fiercest advocates say they're happy with the stimulus package, and their states have enough money for now to address their needs

It's a significant change in tone from the Bush years, when any perceived slight of Katrina victims was met with charges that the Republican president who bungled the initial response to the disaster continued to callously ignore the Gulf's needs years later

Talk about hypocrisy right there! Governor Blanco was the one who really screwed up after Katrina and she was a Democrat too.

Well, that proves it.  The Democrats don't care about New Orleans or black people.  (Paging Mr. West.  Kayne West, please pick up the "you're a dumbass" courtesy phone.)  Their outrage was nothing more than a scheme to score political points against President Bush.  They had a chance to help New Orleans with this glut of money, but they chose to ignore it.

The Dems was the party that wanted slavery and planations. Also, they were the party of the KKK.

He hates Black people!  He also hates White people, if they live in red-state territory.

He hates whites in Kentucky more than he wants to help Blacks in NOLA.
