"If you're in trouble...

John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, "If you're ever in trouble,... go to the poor people." The people in the devestation of hurricane Katrina are in trouble. We have supervision there, and we are grateful, but the poor( humble - everyday people) like good neighbors are there. There in the surrounding states; families are being taken in, Churches are open, and the good side of humanity is evident. These are people helping people. They are not looking for fame.

Interesting how some who see a house on fire rush to help, others wring their hands and look for fault, while yet others pitch wood on the fire. The two approaches to recovery and relief stand out in the character of the these two people. One would postpone judgment until relief of the suffering has been completed, Rudy Giuliani (R) N.Y. is helping. One would hinder the relief by demanding the decision makers stop to pay attention to them. Move on.org comes to mind, and the REAL Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D) N.Y. has surfaced.

Dan Blatz,( Washington Post ), writes that Sen. Clinton has joined "the raging debate over what happened after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and the Gulf Coast." It has provided Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) an opportunity to emerge as a national spokeswoman for the Democratic Party, stirring Republican criticism that she and other Democrats are seeking political gain at a moment of national crisis." She did a similar thing after 9/11 and, and like Kayne West got booed.

She had distanced herself from the extreme liberal left of chairman Dean, and Nancy Pelosie (Dem. CA), House minority leader. She has joined them and made herself a target. Is she in trouble, probably not; but she has undone a lot of hard work pretending to move right.
