What the Republicans missed, in a nutshell

Americans want help, they don't see business or individuals as a source of that help.  Pres. Obama is right when he says government should and must do what we as individuals cannot do for ourselves.  Governor Jindal's praise for the private acts of help during Katrina show how out of touch the ideological Republican right is with the rest of the world.  Katrina exposed government failure, not private sector success.  It will be a long, hard republican road back if that is the view they take.
