[QUOTE="Dale Carter, post: 545605, member: 59785"] Tom, I agree with your statement completely, however, Mrs. Bush was not talking about the all of the people in New Orleans. She was specifically talking about the huge number of people in Houston and her comments were dead on the mark. However "insensitive" they are to people. Here is the complete quote "Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to Houston." Then she added: "What I’m hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this is working very well for them." So, it is scary because (remember the perspective of a life long wife and mother of politicians) Houston will have to absorb a huge influx of the very people who place the greatest strain on government services and local economies. Correct statement. Free transportation. housng and food for people from a city filled with corruption and poverty (even before the storm) to a city with resources adn job opportunities sounds like "this is working very well for them". Insensitive, probably. True? Absolutely. She was talking about the people in the Astrodome, not NOLA in general. [/QUOTE]
