State of the Union or State of New Orleans?
After President Bush's State of the Union Address on Tuesday night, many of the hosts of the prime time shows were mad that Bush only spoke about the situation in Katrina for a little bit. Why didn't he speak longer? Were the cries of the people in that devastated region. The reason why Bush did not spend much time on this topic is because the State of the Union has to do with the entire country and not just one region. The State of the Union address always has more pros then cons in it anyway. The Bush Administration has devoted hours upon hours of support to the Katrina Victims already. The administration already has pledged 85 billion dollars of support to the victims, so what more do they want? The disaster in New Orleans was tragic, there is no doubt about that, but since September there have been more hard pressing issues on the President's mind. The election of the nuclear crazy president in Iran, the election of Hamas in Palestein and the pursuit of a new judge to the Supreme Court just to name a few. If the Katrina Victims are so concerned that they are not receiving any attention from the government, they should be hard pressing against people like Mayor Ray Nagin and Katherine Blanco, who deserve much of the blame. Nagin is currently in Washington D.C. being investigated about the Katrina response. Nagin still blames FEMA for most of his faults. Nagin should have been better prepared and had food and water supplies ready at both the Superdome and Convention Center. I think the President did a great job on his State of the Union. He touched every pressing issue throughout the United States and told Americans what he plans to do to fix the problems of the world.

President Bush cares about ALL Americans and his State of the Union reached ALL Americans. I recall that the President spent many hours, speeches, and dollars solely on the devastation in New Orleans cause by Hurricane Katrina. Fine, there were some flaws in the response but surely that was not ALL the President's fault. And who among us has no flaws? The more pressing national, union if you will, issues were what the President spent most of his time addressing. And he did so effectively. God bless America and George W. Bush.
