But I do think it would have been different. Of course, the hurricane still would have been a major disaster, but I think there would have been a faster response and more competent by the federal government, for various reasons.<BR/><BR/>The second sentence of my post was sort of a joke.heatkernelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776908383310996889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554831.post-1126105276273888702005-09-07T11:01:00.000-04:002005-09-07T11:01:00.000-04:00Yeah, my point exactly.

Former Presidents certainly count as members of the system and/or establishment in my book. As do governors and big city mayors.Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574086634758656290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554831.post-1126094027079186282005-09-07T07:53:00.000-04:002005-09-07T07:53:00.000-04:00To you last sentence: Probably so, but you can sca...To you last sentence: Probably so, but you can scarcely deny the response would have been a substantially different if Clinton had been pres. when this happened. He would have at least said "I feel you pain" from the pulpit of a Baptist church instead of "I'll be flying out of here in a minute" from the tarmac of an airport.heatkernelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776908383310996889noreply@blogger.com
