    VENT HERE - anger about Katrina Relief

    I copied this from another site. 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 MMFlint@aol.com www.MichaelMoore.com 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. You know our President is our President, But if a family member passed away would you wait days before cutting your vacation to go attend the funeral?? I do not get it.. After This the director of FEMA should be fired!!

    VENT HERE - anger about Katrina Relief

    I am glad you posted this.. I am so pissed off that all these Agencies are collecting money but who the hell and what the hell is going to??? Really the last thing these poor people need (not money wise) is food and medication and your basic nessecites. I wanted to send clothes but no they don't want them as of yet??? Why I see little children walking around naked.. Places down there are charging for Ice are they really freaking serious ?? Why are not all the stuff they need given free!!!!!I'm so mad that this happens in our own backyard and they are not getting the help they need. I even heard that the Cruise ships wanted to help out by ferrying the people to other states along the coast line butthe Goverment said no.. I wish I was alot closer and I would have opened my home to a family or voluntered. I pray that the lord helps these people overcome this hardship that they have been dealt. I do not know what else to do except hug my children and hope if we ever have a natural disaster that we all go at the same time. I would not want to live through what these people are going through.

    Pray For Storm Victims

    I cannot believe what is going on with Looting for the Hell of it. I mean really what are you going to do with a Television??? The Big stores that are not under water should just open their doors so that those people can get the items they need clothes, diapers, formula etc. Especially the ones with children. I hope they can get the help they need and quick, it is so sad to see this kind a devestation right in our back yard.

    Tomorrow-- Now I'm nervous

    Just let them Know once you get into preop the troubles that you have. As soon as they could get the IV coming my way they had the meds to calm me down. And again right before they took me into the surgery room when talking to the anesthisia doc I let him know my concerns so they would be prepared.. Good Luck and think Postive and please take someone so they can keep you distracted..
  15. I have been following the Story of Jessica O since last year and things have been getting pretty bad for her since her Surgery for RNY. I do not know her but I would just like to ask everyone to just say a Prayer. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=O1024075523

    SHOCKED to discover...

    Alex, I pray it is not a slip either. I have 1.cc in my band right now and I seem to have trouble if I go beyond. I Remember when I was having alot of reflux it was due to some kind or virus that affects us banded folks and was fine when they took it all out and put me on Prevacid. Did he give you anything to take?? Or is he thinking the unfill will cure the reflux?? Prayers and good vibes going out to you...
