I will never forgive the leaders of this nation for letting the people of Louisiana down. What have they ever done to deserve such disrespect? All the leaders sat in front of their televisions and watched while the bone-weary U.S Coast Guard singlehandedly rescued people, only to have to deposit them in the Superdoom (no, it’s not misspelled). I wasn’t amused listening to them beg.

Our leaders are competent with all the resources in the world, and yet they just didn’t care about these people.
