If Obama is honoring his promise, he is also missing his target. The biggest unmet recovery issue is housing, particularly for low-income residents. It is the most glaring omission in the renewal of New Orleans city life. You can drive by blocks of blight that are either the consequence of the floods -- or were like that before the storm. In the areas where the city's "Big Four" housing projects once stood, you find, at best, partially completed (though posh) mixed-income housing developments or, at worst, gated fields of weeds.

Where is the blame for the local and state government?

Where is the condemnation of the powers that be there?

Your selection of what to quote from the article was also convenient, but thanks for making my point.

I didn't post a selection from the article. So this claim about the "hypocrisy" of what I selected only makes my point again.

Uh, considering the public statements made by republicans concerning birth control, rape, gay marriage etc, how can you defend them?

It was a republican that said "Nature prevents a woman from getting pregnant if it is a legitimate rape."

Conservatives have put forth the idea that only "sluts" use birth control.

A conservative has put forth the statement that lesbian marriage is a threat to straight marriage.

Then we have the birthers, tea partiers, and every other extreme conservative group out there making equally absurd statements with little or no proof, and I am not even going to start on Fox News.

Because I am not stupid enough to think the comments of some equal the thoughts of everyone in the party. I have heard really stupid things from both parties. If I dropped a group because some of the people in it were idiots I wouldn't be in any party.
quote:



As for this poll, hell it proves nothing. So some people in Louisiana dont know who was president during Katrina. Got news for you people, there is a good number of people who cant tell you who was president during watergate, WW2, Three Mile Island, the LA riots, the Watts riots or even the year any of those things happened.

Look Obama is a fuck up, when he had the majority in the senate and house, he did not push for the things he said he wanted to do, after the first midterms, he has spent most of his time bullshitting both sides of the aisle.



I agree the poll is bullshit. But I feel that way about most polls. I have to wonder how many answered Obama just to be a smart ass. I can see myself doing that if I was in the right mood. Mainly because I would have considered it a stupid question since he wasn't in office at the time. But who knows, maybe others take these things more seriously than I do.
quote:



Yes I voted for him, not because he was a better choice, but because there was no way in hell I was voting for a mormon, I know first hand what they teach, what they believe, and their goals for this country. I was married to one, and after numerous attempts to convert me to the cult, I was informed that I do not pray correctly, and other things.

To be honest, I would have voted for Nixon over Romney, hell I would vote for jack the ripper over Romney.


I know a lot of people said the same thing about Kennedy. I guess it's a good thing they were not in the majority at the time.

Democrats plan of "everyone deserves a house" even if you are a poor risk, then defaults was the root cause of the downturn. You get a history book.

Who else was to be blamed? The Republicans were blaming Obama who hadnt even gotten the presidential chair warm yet. He walked into a tumbling house of cards... and your attempt at revising history wont change that.

You should try reading one of the myriad of books written by ex-bankers. Are you really the explosion in lending was down to democrats, and not those with their hands on the steering wheel ?

NM......Sadly thats exactly what you are suggesting.

Just because this is too funny to pass up... out of curiosity what is the republican plan then? I assume we take the people who "don't deserve a house" and stack them up like cord wood somewhere?

Oh... and some day you should add up the total of the poor risk home loans issued in the US and then take a look at the total bailout required (and last I heard, continuing). When you do the phrase "drop in the ocean" will come to mind. Dude... poor people didn't cause this sort of disruption. They don't have enough money to be the cause for TRILLIONS... that's what being poor is all about.. you don't have trillions.
