Because there's a lot of things that are not told to the victims. We're not being assessed and assisted in the way that we should be. I would like to know your thoughts and ideas for addressing FEMA. Thank you.</p> <p>JOHN MCCAIN: My thoughts are that the tragedy and injustice of New Orleans can never happen again. It was an abject failure of government and there's no excuse for it. When babies are dehydrated and senior citizens are dying, there is no excuse for that failure in America and can never be repeated and it will remain a national disgrace until the American people have the confidence it will never happen again.</p> <p>Now, I think there's a number of things that need to be done. First, appoint and ask the most qualified people in America to serve, not political appointees. The second thing that you do, in my view, is that we go to some of the major large and small businesses in American that know how to deliver goods and services. You know that there was a truck full of water that [...] ended up in Maine? Do you think that Wal-Mart or Home Depot or any of those people would have not kept track of everything?</p> <p>I think we need to have a combination of government and business so that they will have these lines of distribution and are able to deliver the goods and services as necessary and I think frankly we need maybe to do some drills. You know what I mean? How does the federal government react to the next hurricane? I pray to god it's not gonna happen, but the weatherman tells me a little different.</p> <p>The point is [...] that we have to be prepared and we have to understand that he attacks on America, by natural calamities, in many respects, are as bad or worse in its ultimate effects than the attacks by terrorists from outside this country or from inside this country. So I want to assure you my commitment from a top-to-bottom reorganization and review and finally there are so many things that need to be done we could spend a whole speech on it, but the other failure, as you know, was a lack—a total lack of cooperation between the federal, state and local authorities. There has got to be better cooperation and work with them."</p> <p>LABEL: JM OH 7-16 (JR#61) TCZZ -- Clip F</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/wc0ug3n8cs</p> <p>To download the full campaign event, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/8s1o8thwc0</p> </div> <a href="/blog/47365-john-mccain-naacp-speech-07-16-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46852-democracy-now-headlines-wed-july-23-2008 2008-10-28T09:31:13Z I Want Democracy Now <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8twbNciqbFc&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8twbNciqbFc&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46852-democracy-now-headlines-wed-july-23-2008"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/55369" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Headlines</p> <p> * Admin Seeking to Weaken Workplace Toxin Rules <br /> * FEMA Demands Immunity from Trailer-Contamination Suit <br /> * Ex-Deputy Contradicts EPA Chief's Testimony on California Emissions Change <br /> * Obama: US Should Recognize Palestinians' "Legitimate Difficulties" <br /> * 20 Israelis Injured in Construction Vehicle Attack <br /> * US Considers Quashing Report Critical of Israel <br /> * 4 US Soldiers Charged in Killing of Iraqi Prisoners <br /> * Blackwater Claims Intent to Scale Back Private Military Work <br /> * War Crimes Trial Continues at Gitmo <br /> * House Panel to Take Up Bush Impeachment <br /> * ACLU Challenges Alabama Voter Felony Law <br /> * Bush on Economy: Wall Street "Got Drunk"</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46852-democracy-now-headlines-wed-july-23-2008">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46197-re-thousands-withdraw-money-from-collapsing-indymac-bank 2008-10-28T09:30:18Z MayorGalvan <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EC8tXDJifNk&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EC8tXDJifNk&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46197-re-thousands-withdraw-money-from-collapsing-indymac-bank"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/54166" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Video Cam Direct Upload</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46197-re-thousands-withdraw-money-from-collapsing-indymac-bank">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/44521-john-mccain-town-hall-meeting-12-06-07 2008-10-27T03:30:49Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R-UYhFp1gdA&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R-UYhFp1gdA&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/44521-john-mccain-town-hall-meeting-12-06-07"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/50909" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>John McCain <br />Town Hall Meeting <br />Hooksett, NH 12/04/07</p> <p>TRANSCRIPTION <br />MCCAIN: "I'm gonna have to have someone, that I know, is immediately ready to take my place.

You know, the one that managed the Hurricane Katrina disaster so well? Yes them. I guess they were expecting a federal emergency then? Which could lead to <a href="http://cliffschecter.blogspot.com/2007/06/this-bears-repeating-and-repeating-and.html">this</a>?</p><p>But that&#39;s not important now.

Wait, what?&nbsp; </p><blockquote><p>Officials said <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-DeadSatellite.html?_r=1&amp;amp;hp=&amp;amp;oref=slogin&amp;amp;pagewanted=print">it might take a day or longer to know for sure if the toxic fuel was blown up</a>. </p></blockquote><p>I&#39;m touched.
