[StBernard] Prez's state of the onion message

[Westley Annis]

 Jim,
 
 
   Who is singing that song. Oh, by the way here is a copy of a letter to
the editor of the nytimes i sent last night- I can only pray it gets
published in it's full form
 
Maybe I'm just partial, being that I'm a former resident of the Greater New
Orleans Area now residing in Maine, however, I have come to the conclusion
that this administration is just plain clueless. In the State of the Union,
the president dedicated an entire 8 lines to the largest natural disaster to
ever hit US shores. THEN, two of those sentences were looped in with his
wife's agenda. We're facing record deficits, an entire region of the US is
unstable (more so than Iraq), inflation is on the rise, banks are about to
be faced with massive foreclosures or lapsed loans on property with no
value (is this the beginning of a depression), and the State of the Union is
strong? Maybe instead of riding around in a hummer or bus, next time GW and
EVERY CONGRESSIONAL PERSON should get on the ground and help a family gut a
home. That is the only way ANYONE can truly see and feel what it's like to
lose EVERYTHING! THEN, they would see we are from from being strong anymore,
we were in the beginning, now we're just tired. We are tired of no help, we
are tired of no answers, we are tired of the rest of the world getting aid
and not our own, and we are tired of being in limbo. We need answers not
press conferences so that we "joe citizen" can then make the choices that we
must in order to move on.
