"You want me to be some kind of superhero..."
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Democrats began pushing for an independent, 9/11-style investigation into the hurricane response. Republicans, with the White House leading the charge, opposed that style of investigation, and instead have opened their own Congressional hearings.
Keep in mind that Republicans, with the White House at the head, opposed the original 9/11 commission as well.
Comes out today that 80% of United States citizens believe that an independent Katrina investigation is the way to go.
Democrats can't let this one go. There are a few issues where it's better to let the Administration have its way - Judge Robers, for example. But making sure that the US has a full accounting of everything that went wrong with the preparation and response to Hurricane Katrina, at every level, is not something that the Party should let its officials ignore.
Time to start agitating.

Bush is forever saying that democracies do not invade other countries and start wars. Well, he did just that. He invaded Iraq, started a war, and killed people. What do you think? Why has bush turned our country from a country of hope and prosperity to a country of belligerence and fear.
Our country is in debt until forever, we don't have jobs, and we live in fear. We have invaded a country and been responsible for thousands of deaths.
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren't living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
