Interview with mayor of New Orleans 2

Everyone, and I mean everyone, should listen to this interview with the mayor of New Orleans. Any hint of political tact is gone -- he's just angry and confused by the criminal indifference and incompetence that are consigning thousands of his constituents to disease and death.

It's painful to hear, but utterly necessary.

    Powerful interviewThis interview should be spread far and wide. This is a politican speaking from the gut, no spinning, no framing, no script, just raw truth. This mayor loves his city and is trying to fight for it against overwhelming odds including a dangerously indifferent president.

    The harvest is plenty. The laborers are few.

    Resources Are Not InfiniteWe have to kill people in the Middle East for oil and don't have the resources to protect poor people here, and probably don't even want to.
