We have an unprecedented opportunity to really make a difference for our senior citizens.
Once again, FEMA failed to adequately plan for the very type of disaster that occurs virtually every year.
A happy warrior, ... I think he kind of relishes being a bomb thrower right now.
It contrasts so sharply with the lack of planning and the slow response of FEMA,
That money meets urgent infrastructure needs in the state of Maine, ... I don't think it makes sense to take money that is needed in other states and reallocate it to Katrina.
I have great confidence in Judge Roberts legal scholarship, his integrity, and his commitment to the rule of law.
