1. He did not care if people died or suffered. Period. Thanks for this clip, incredible.

2. Not surprising: George Bush doesn't care about black people.

3. Shit. as long as this President and Holder

lay down, GHB can claim that he was the greatest, ever. And believe me they will lye down. It's in their DNA! And I'm a colored girl.

4. Bending the truth is way too polite.

Our Union flew many of us to NOLA immediately after Katrina. It was a war-zone. There was no organizations in place to help the poor and/or elderly. I spent a year there. I met some of the best people (survivors) imaginable. The suffering and deaths were preventable in many cases. A year later, the poor who survived Katrina and bush were displaced. Their homes still destroyed and untouched. The gentrification was in full swing while the 9th ward still looked like a war-zone. Martial law was enforced by contractors for Homeland Security. They were well paid, unkempt bullies that were a step below the "criminal element" they were to control.
It was a hellish place. Yet the survivors who stayed were terrific people (mostly) who had obviously been suffering serfdom long before Katrina.

5. HMMM, LOOKS LIKE A PATHETIC ATTEMPT AT "SPIN" TO COVER THE FACTS

Question: Who among us would expect any less (bullshit)...This is a memorial to one of thee most sordid chapters in our Nations Long History...led by The Shrub.

6. Its made of marble and computerized. People might actually _believe this bullshit

This kind of post propaganda is tantamount to child abuse! Bush knew memories would fade; and that with enough money $$$$ "History" could simply be rewritten.
