Not the Time?
When reporters question politicians, “who is to blame for the delayed help for Hurricane Katrina”, they ALL say the same thing, “this isn’t the time to discuss who is to blame. There will come a time to place blame, but not now.”
Why can’t we ask the hard questions and continue to provide relief for everyone? If these politicians have time to sit for an interview, then they have time to answer hard questions.
Why do we have stop asking questions because YOU say it isn’t time? I implore reporters to continue to ask and call them on everything, it’s your job and we expect you to perform it well.

It is never the right time for this bunch of fascist neocons to answer something they are directly responsible for.
I know you and I have dicussed this at length already, but what is the appropriate time frame for the response? Who decides? Who is right? We have never faced anything before of this magnitude. To what do we compare the response time? Think people!
Good question, who decides? I think the people who were stuck in New Orleans and promised help for three days should decide. Especially when you hear about people who contacted authorized and were told we will get you tomorrow, then the day after that, then the day after that, until eventually that person died because the help never arrived.
Perhaps we can compare the response time to our capabilities. We have the capability to drop water, food, and medical supplies to people, from what I understand, this was not done until several days later.
I just believe reports should be able to ask government officials anything at anytime, especially since they agreed to an interview. And I have the crazy idea of wanting a truthful answer.
