I have learned many lessons in the past few weeks from reading the Chicago Tribune Editorial and letters to the editor pages.
I would like to share some examples:
– Because President Bush gave tax incentives to all Americans, Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast.
– No wealthy Americans lost their homes or were otherwise affected by Hurricane Katrina.
– Vice President Dick Cheney once held a position at Halliburton and received a salary; because of that, the streets of New Orleans have flooded.
– President Bush should have sent troops and supplies in June; after all he is the only person who was expected to foresee this tragedy in advance.
– Having troops and supplies in place at the epicenter of a hurricane is a good thing.
– The mayor of New Orleans and the governor of Louisiana are without fault and preformed flawlessly in this crisis.
– When the government learned that there were poor people in need, the government slowed down relief efforts.
– The New Orleans city employees were not expected to help with relief efforts.
– President Bill Clinton never would have allowed a hurricane on his watch.
The GOP is responsible for New Orleans being built in a delta basin on silt as opposed to inland on bedrock.
