Bush Visit Halts 3 Tons Of Food Supplies.

Raw Story is reporting that three tons of food that were ready for delivery for the survivors in St. Bernard Parish and Algiers Point sat on the crescent City Connection bridge Friday afternoon because air traffic was halted during Bush’s visit to New Orleans.

The supplies, organized by Louisiana Democratic Congressman Charlie Melancon and the state Agriculture Commissioner Bob Odom sat in the afternoon sun as Bush surveyed the damage that Katrina had left five days prior.

The food was expected to be delivered Friday night, after Bush left the devastated region.

You posted this before...verify it, or stop.

You think anyone gives a damn about polls at a time like this? I didn't even read it.

For polls to be even remotely accurate they have to have at least 1500-2000 people answer the poll, in a RANDOM manner, and it should be given over a period of a few days at different times. An elementary statistics course would teach you the same thing.

Miami,
I believe NOTHING that comes from Fox News, unless you can show me hard documentation of those facts. In this case, audio or video of the head of the Red Cross proclaiming this under oath with his hand on a bible. then I MIGHT believe him...but I'd be suspecious....so perhaps, Miami, you should look at the facts.

the USA poll is obviously flawed simply because it didn't ask enough people to respond to get an clear pulse of what the American people thought. a Washington Post/ABC News poll had similar problems, and the media also failed to tell that the poll found massive opposition to Bush from independents. If you want to see how REAL polling is done, ask folks like John Zogby, or Gallop. you can compare several polls that asked similar questions, and come to your own conclusion.
