By DEEPTI HAJELA Associated Press Writer January 16, 2006, 6:12 PM EST NEW YORK -- Sounding a little like a preacher, a fired-up Sen. Hillary Clinton lambasted the Bush administration and the Republican-controlled Congress during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, predicting the presidency "will go down in history as one of the worst" and saying the House of Representatives is run like a "plantation" where dissenting voices are squelched. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] 16 January, 2006 By BRETT MARTEL NEW ORLEANS - Mayor Ray Nagin suggested Monday that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and other storms were a sign that "God is mad at America" and at black communities, too, for tearing themselves apart with violence and political infighting. "Surely he doesn‘t approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But surely he is upset at black America also. We‘re not taking care of ourselves." "It‘s time for us to come together. It‘s time for us to rebuild New Orleans - the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans," the mayor said. "This city will be a majority African American city. It‘s the way God wants it to be. You can‘t have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn‘t be New Orleans." [/ QUOTE ] |
