"BROTHER RAY DOES IT AGAIN!"

(and, just keeps on doing it!)


"GO'HED'ON, BROTHER!"

Do you remember New Orleans 'Katrina mayor, Ray Nagin'?

The one that tried to teach 1,200 buses to swim while his citizen's drowned? Once again, he has demonstrated his ability to deal with hard realities. According to 'The New Orleans Times Picayune ' there were 50,000 vehicles ruined in Katrina and abandoned by their owners.

The largest auto crusher east of the Rockies, 'K&L Auto Crushers of Tyler, Texas' offered to pay the City of New Orleans $100.00 per vehicle, .... an estimated "$5 million net to the city." They agreed to bring in 5 to 10 portable crushers, work 6 days per week, and complete the job in 15 weeks. Of course, mayor Nagin knew better how to do the job, and refused the offer saying the city would do the job themselves. It seems that now it will cost the City $23 million to complete the job. The vehicles are still there today instead of being cleaned out 5 Months ago.

Now, lets see if I have this correct. By doing it K&L's way the City of New Orleans would net $5 million. Doing it mayor Nagin's way costs the city $23 million for a net cost to the City of New Orleans of $28,000,000. This is the same mayor that wants 'the United States Taxpayers' to give $50 billion to New Orleans and let him rebuild a "Chocolate City" his way
WITHOUT any oversight or any control. Did you read this correctly, ladies and gentlemen? .... he wants $50 BILLION of your money to rebuild the City of New Orleans .... HIS CHOCOLATE WAY!!! http://www.snopes.com/katrina/politics/carcrush.asp

Brit Hume reported this on Fox News.

lol Locksmith even though it's documented fact that these things took place you can still brush it aside as republican crap lmao I am not a republican so this is independant crap I guess. Anything you all don't want to hear you just close out. Just like the leaders of your party. And you can't figure out why you keep loosing? lol I bet out of say 30 answers (if this question gets that many) half will not answer the question but will use it to once again bash Bush. So far a couple of you have hit it right on the nose. You are good analists of human nature.

Why you mad at me Kim? I love New Orleans. I'd like to see it cleaned up as quickly as possible but it won't be with people like Nagin running the show. Now there's your jerk sweety lol

wow hippie if that's true I feel for the folks in New Orleans.

Answer 1

lol yes am afraid your so right my brother really fu(k up down there.but they lick corrupt peoples like him

Answer 2

Most people prefer known evil to unknown evil. They know and are familiar with him, his face and personality as a Mayor. Regardless of what he failed to accomplish in his term and the incompetence he showed in the Katrina crisis, voters have and will continue to favor incumbents in all political races.....known evil.

Answer 3

For the same reason the US has seen Bush be utterly incompetent for the past six years, and yet re-elected him.

People don't like to change Horsemen in mid-Apocalypse.

Answer 4

I'm black and even I am puzzled by this. Ray Nagin can't lead his way out of a paper bag...

Answer 5

One scoop of chocolate city, 49 scoops of vanilla cities.

Answer 6

Why did we reelect Bush? Familiarity.

Answer 9

Answer 10

We have reason to believe that the other choice would have been worse, much worse.
