As a Non US Individual looking from the outside, i have to say that the Government there is disgusting. When hurricaine Katrina hit a few years ago, the government there did nothing!
They actually help other countries more than their own, using the old excuse about having no money or resources.
But this year 2008, when your financial infrastructure was going down the tubes, i found what 70 billion or some figure like that. When it comes to helping themselves they find the money, but when people are needing help so they don't die, and yes no one can say it wasnt because of their skin color, absolutly disgusting.
This upcoming week you are going to vote someone for president, do yourselves a favor, don't vote for them, vote for yourself.
Dont Vote!
