A video recorded before the Katrina victims were evacuated from New Orleans to the Astrodome. At this time the people that chose to stay were still at the Superdome and the convention center.
Before the flaming starts, let me say that I really lean right and I really don’t like Cooper that much but it was just awesome to see someone out a leader for their lack of concern over those victims.

senator mary …
senator mary landrieu is an hat. she doesn’t care about these victims then and not about all the folks with no healthcare in her state. she is against a “Public Option” because she is in the pocket of big pharma and the insurance industry.
I hope she burns in !

Granted, the …
Granted, the responsibility was officially to the local and state governments - but one can argue as to whether or not the Feds should have had a plan for this disaster given the numerous warnings ahead of time to the consequences of a direct hit on NO.
But you can’t deny the Fed’s role in dredging the wetlands for shipping, and draining the delta for development. The Department of the Interior has lots of information about this - you need natural defenses, levees alone are insufficient

Gregg… I am sorry to tell you that you were miss informed.. Mary Landrieu was reelected in 2008.. She is still the Senator for the State of Louisiana..

Ogalla.. The local …
Ogalla.. The local government issued a warning to leave.. if that means walk by foot, it means to get out.. They were providing transportation for the people who could not afford to leave, but they refused to accept it.. The federal government has given millions of dollars since 1974 to Louisiana to reinforce the levees, but they used the money for other purposes.. So the only ones to blame is the local and state government for their lack of response and preparation..

Beth.. Obviously …
Beth.. Obviously you are a moron.. That was confirmed by the earlier post.. But it is the responsibility of the local and state government to be the first responder.. In fact, it was Louisiana Gov. Blanco who declined help of not only the federal government, but the offer of New Mexico and Kansas to send their National Guard to help before the storm.. Please do research before you make unintelligent comments.. Thank you..

It is spelled aliens.. Secondly, she was speaking on former President George H. W. Bush and former President Clinton because they paired up together andwent around the country raising money for Katrina victims.. You did know that they were two Presidents named Bush in the past 20 years, didn’t you..?

I think this is why Anderson is so successful as a journalist and anchorman. I watch news, and the people delivering it seem so robotic, just reading off of the teleprompter, but Anderson is really passionate about the issues he reports on, and it makes him just a little bit more human than the others.

I’m a real sucker for tears.
For a moment, I thought Cooper was going to choke up, and I was about to join him. He didn’t even have to take the time to explore all these areas, but he did. This lady sounds like a ing robot. I hate her so much!

Oh, she thanked Senator Vitter for all his help. God help us all, he was busy ringing up hookers!!! We will NEVER forget what happened here. I want to see Bush/ Cheney in orange jumpsuits for their war crimes and for crimes of ommission in Katrina. Why are they still walking free????!!!
You go Anderson Cooper. You are not only a heroic journalist, you’re also a total babe!
