To My Fellow Americans,

This will just break your heart; please listen to what the President of Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard had to say concerning the rescue efforts in LouisianaListen to the way he breaks down at the end.  America, we can and must do better.

Mary MacElveen!

Posted by someone on a political list that I am a member of:

President Aaron Broussard of Jefferson Parish responding to Tim Russert.

Russert was trying to spin things positive, and this man cut him off and said:

I'll tell you what the truth is. The man who runs this building, Jefferson County Emergency Services, he had a mother in a nursing home.

She called him on Monday and said, "Son is someone coming to help us? Please send someone”.

He said, "Yes, Mama, someone's coming".

She called him on Tuesday and said, "Son is someone coming to help us? Please send someone”.

He said, "Yes, Mama, someone's coming".

She called him on Wednesday and said "Son, is someone coming to help us? Please send someone”.

He said, "Yes, Mama, someone's coming".

She called him on Thursday and said "Son, is someone coming to help us? Please send someone”.

He said, "Yes, Mama, someone's coming".

The guy was a blubbering mess by this time. Then he said "On Friday, she drowned. ON FRIDAY, SHE DROWNED!" He totally lost it at this point. He was very upset and VERY angry.

While the government did NOTHING, they hamstringed everyone and anyone who could. They wanted to kill these people and that's the truth.

I hope this shows up on line.
