Reply to "Beams to New Orleans"

I'm waiting to see exactly how much money Bush doles out to the state of Louisiana and NOLA. When he was running for re-election, he poured federal relief funds into Florida (a swing state where his brother is governor) after hurricanes lashed the state. Mind you, I'm happy that the people of Florida received emergency assistance where needed, however the tragedy of NOLA is 100 times worse, and now Bush has no election to worry about. I wouldn't be surprised to see the federal purse strings tighten quite suddenly, especially given that the Iraq war has decimated the budget, used up a large portion of the National Guard and driven oil/gas prices sky high. Not to mention the environmental protections he's worked tirelessly to undue behind the scenes which undoubtedly will hasten global climate change. Of course if he gets stingy with relief money now it will make him look really bad but since when have Republicans cared about how they look. I hope everyone who voted for him is satisfied.
