Ironically, I was in Minneapolis 3 years ago on that date. The MP unit that I was in Iraq with the year before was down there doing MP duties. I had enjoyed my first summer home in the house I bought after I got back and decided to visit friends and relatives out in Minnesota.Like 3 years ago, I am watching the hurricane as it heads towards New Orleans. Instead of me being in Minneapolis watching the hurricane, the Twin Cities is now watching the hurricane as it could be a show stopper for the big Republican convention.
"Convention planners and delegates arriving in St. Paul said it would be politically perilous to hold a four-day party as Americans were evacuating New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in advance of Gustav, a Category 3 hurricane, with winds of up to 125 miles per hour, that is expected to make landfall sometime on Tuesday. The Bush administration’s unsteady response to Hurricane Katrina, which left New Orleans in ruins three years ago, outraged Americans and remains, for many, a stain on Mr. Bush’s record."
Senator McCain, having learned from the birthday photo op which has come back to haunt him 3 years later, had this to say about the up coming convention. Although his birthday back in 2005 was a "party event" while the hurricane took place; President Bush was rightfully perceived as the neglect one at that time. McCain was enjoying his B day and a VIP showed up for the party while in retrospect, he might have thought of addressing the hurricane in New Orleans. The fact that the two were together is just a coincident. As the the timing of this hurricane.
“We have to go from a party event to a call to the nation for action, action to help our fellow citizens in this time of tragedy and disaster, action in the form of volunteering, donations, reaching out our hands and our hearts and our wallets to the people who are under such great threat from this great natural disaster.
I saw this clip on MSCNBC on Keith Olbermann's website. Michael Moore has guts to say this on national TV and it sounds horrible to verbalize it but honestly, how many people are thinking the same thing and not saying anything out loud?

You can obviously write. You seem like a well prepared writer with ill prepared concepts. If you could listen to the junk that your putting into words you sound like every other news reporter in this country. Do you even have a thought of your own? Did Keith Oberman send you a transcript to write from? Are you using Obama Bin Biden's writers for the junk that you pen on this obviously uninformed blog of so called personal opinion. Where in the world did you learn to write this ill conceived nonsense. It is fine to question your Government but for you not to even have a clue on how it even works then you better go back to the 3rd grade and start over, because your obviously NOT SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER!
You will never clean up Washington and no matter it be Republicans or Democrats they are the only ones that are going to drive this country into oblivion. Obama Bin Biden has no chance other than those that think his whole 140 days in the Senate are experience. What are you kidding me? You cannot really believe think bunk that your'e spewing out. You obviously plagerize from others in order to find your thoughts. Get a mind and understand how things work instead of watching these clowns on TV and get a mind of your own instead of allowing them to own yours!
To plagiarize another’s work isn't why I blog. I will freely admit to be inspired by certain kindred sprits, some being politicians, to include Senator Obama and others being talking heads like Olberman (say what you like about him, just spell his name right).
Who? What? Spell his name right! I thought I did but he really must be a nobody if I cannot spell his name right or you just watch too much of his antics. What is he your hero or something? Your Obama Bin Biden is just a liberal nutcase with no real experience. His whole 140 days of a job are less time than most people are on probation for on the job. What has he done to make you such a fan. Continue to vote to the far left on everything? Did he personally do something for you? Did he give you something other than another problem that he voted for in this latest crisis. His voting record is a bigger joke than Nancy Pelosi! He makes Ted Kennedy look conservative, but as far as we know he did not kill anyone yet! What do actually think he is going to do? He will be just like anyone else. Try to be a free thinker like you say your are instead of plagarizing all of your so called heroes. I bet Al Franken is a hero of yours too! What a nut job he wasn't even funny, but maybe he will be a funny politician. If he is not in jail like the rest of your liberal heroes!
For what it is worth, I am not voting for Teddy's son Patrick for Congress in my home state of RI. Yes, Al Frankin is a hero of mine and not only is Rush Limbaugh a big, fat idiot but he is a junkie bitch who you seemed pretty tune into for your information. Keep drinking the kool aid and believing the hype my friend. One day you will wake up and see things as they are, not the way Rush tells you they are.
Thanks anonymous, we must be kindred spirts then! Follow me on twitter, @jimikeen I am much better latley getting on twitter and taking shots at all the craziness in the world and putting hyperlinks to great articles that I read online! Jimi
