Hillary Clinton Says The Usa Has An Obligation To Rebuild New Orleans. Do You Agree?

Leave a Review

What I saw after Katrina was looting, crime incompetent local government etc mostly black americans. I say instead, build a cage around the place and let them fix it themselves if they wish. Its a waste of tax dollars otherwise.

    A lot of the problem is an incompetent LOCAL government who would rather play the race card than make matters better and the fact that New Orleans was one of the biggest natural disasters in the US.
    I’ll never forget the BLACK national guardsman who was finally able to get into the area of the stadium and someone screamed at him, “Why haven’t you come before now!”
    He screamed back, “Because it’s hard!”

    No, we have an obligation to help.

    NO….. but then again NO is a Democrat town in a Democrat state…. it should have been a paradise of the people…… What was it tho? The most corrupt city in one of the most corrupt states in the nation…. the levies failed because Federal monies allocated for them were diverted to other (non legal) uses. I suppose that would continue under Mrs. Clinton.

    No, but if they insist on rebuilding it, they should build it up so that it is above sea level.

    I say that we’ve done More than enough to help them already. I think that the “Governer” & “Mayor” should pay the citizens of that area to rebuild it. You start by rebuilding the homes & then the work places, then reinvite the companies back & have them resume there old lives.
    That’s how I think it ought to be done.

    First off racist remarks are not the answer. Buy U.S. Taxpayers should not be paying this bill at all. Ray Nagin and the Govenour screwed this up so Louisiana you need to step up and fix your own problem.

    Politics aside, that’s just the wrong place for a city. Largely below sea level between a huge river, a huge lake, and the Gulf of Mexico and a frequent target of hurricanes? It’s doomed, abandon it now and avoid the rush later on.

    NO they had all the help financially and people who volunteered to help them. People I know went there and most of the citizens are not helping themselves. If you do that then you should rebuild the small town that was actually wiped off the map during that storm that everyone has forgotten about. That is more of a political move then reality and she knows it….

    Yes. The US have an obligation to help their own people. The US are so prompt to pledge millions in aid to people around the world when they need it. Why not start here at home where it’s the most needed. These are your people.

    NO I don’t. i think that its up to the people who live their to refix their damaged houses and such

    Being from New Orleans, I take extreme offence to your callousness, ignorance and unwillingness to hear the plight of the many good citizens in New Orleans that were pushed away by the storm with no chance to recover.
    What you saw after Katrina was the very reason why it should be rebuilt. All of that can be eliminated right now by electing strong, competent leaders. Katrina’s blessing in disguise is the chance to wipe the slate clean and start over with competence, a determination to root out crime, and a vision of a new New Orleans with the ability to prosper.
    What we should do is rebuild it like it should be, not like what it was.

    Hell No
    Let he Democrats fix their own problem as they made it with the most corrupt state and local Government in the USA. Let the Justis brothers of Al Sharpton and The Rev. Jessie Pimp Jackson give their money and let Mr. Hillary Clinton give some of the money they got for selling the Chi-Coms the technology to send an ICBM here to make wast of the rest of us. I am sure they got some other money for selling the Lincoln Bed room to the drug lords so they should all put their money in and not take ours away to line their pockets again.

    Well with all those umemployed people down there i am sure we can teach them to swing a hammer. Why is dont they work for it for once?

    Of course the United States has an obligation to rebuild New Orleans, it is a US city! The federal government is entirely responsible for helping the city recover from such a disaster. If not the US, who else will help? It isn’t as though we can just let the city rot for all of eternity, the federal government needs to act now before things get even worse.

    I am from Louisiana albeit 400 miles North of NO. There are a lot of people who think like you do even here in Louisiana. I have been all over the spectrum on this issue but as of right now I am not for rebuilding AS IT WAS prior to Katrina. Almost all of NO is below sea level. No matter how much engineering is done that place will NEVER be totally safe since it is below sea level
    If NO is to be rebuilt…..and I think it should…….it MUST be built outside the below sea level areas.

    Oh, so in your opinion, the Bush Administration is competent? No local government in a crisis could be worse than your Neocons. I have never seen such callous remarks. They hardly sound American.
    At least you call the blacks American. The rest of your so called question doesn’t deserve a thoughtful response.

  17. Reba K on Thu, 24th Dec 2009 4:43 am 

    sort of sounds like you’re a racist…

  18. chasmann on Thu, 24th Dec 2009 5:08 am 

    YES. America was blind sided by fact that FEMA wasn’t ready but they were financially competent but just that has been said about the war that is also a good comment about N.O. is that “What is done is done. now let’s do what we have to do to fix the problem.” Sen. McCain. We are all Americans. Like it or not. If racism is your problem then N.O. is the least of your worries. We need to collectively fix every problem in the US. No fence or wall has ever fixed any problem long term.

    The United States has an obligation to rebuild one of its devestated cities. I find it hard to believe that anyone would think otherwise.
