President of Jefferson Parish, Aaron Broussard, says he still doesn't have the resources needed to save the lives in his Parish.
At the end of this interview on Meet the Press, Broussard tells a heart wrenching story of a co-worker's mother that was trapped in a nursing home. She called four days in a row for help but help never came. Broussard breaks into tears as he explains that the Cavalry never came and she died by drowning.
Folks, people are still trapped. People still don't have food and water. President Bush has staged some photo-ops to make it look like the Cavalry had arrived and everything was under control. As Winter Patriot noted, this was a staged photo-op. It was faked. It was media hype.
George Bush's Administration and the federal government agencies that he is responsible for have still not responded in proportion to the disaster. They have not fulfilled their duties to the Americans that are depending on them.
