why is josh arieh deleting blog entries??

[BigFish 0]

Anyone else notice the blog entry by Josh titled I think "CAN WE GET SOME HELP". He ripped the president and basically all other foreign countries for not sending immediate help to New Orleans and Mississippi. I went on his site today and noticed the entry is gone all together. I dont think its right to put it up for a day or two, regret what you said and just take it down. I would hope Daniel would not do something like that, part of what people like is that they get to hear what these guys (Daniel and Josh) are thinking about on a daily basis, good or bad.

Maybe he realized that a huge chunk of his marketability comes from the public's perception of him. Maybe he understands that the president isn't the "go to" guy for first responders.I'd love to read the blog though, should someone have a cached copy.Guinevar

people are so quick to rip the president at every possible situation...help can only get there so fast and with thousands of people stranded it takes time to get all the man power necessary to help out...Ships couldnt exactly wait anywhere close to New Orleans and nobody expected this...What i find interesting is that most of the flooding was caused by damaged Levees (sp?) that broke...why were those broken and not repaired? its an unfortunate disaster but lets not make reasons up to blame the president for whether it be a democrat or republican... Most people are smart enough to realize that had it been a democrat in office, the response would have been identical.

Plus the president has already said the response in new orleans is "unacceptable." I don't know how it is at your work, people, but when the president of the United States says something is unacceptable, stuff gets done fast. Hopefully now more will be done.

His initial response was the opposite. But, when public opinion was that it was unacceptable, then "his opinion" became that it was unacceptable.

I absolutely agree. If you say something you regret, the only acceptable thing is to issue an apology, not delete it and hope no one saw it. That said, I will refrain from judging Josh until I hear his side. He is a poster on here, and I hope he responds to this thread. Maybe there was a glitch with his site, and it got deleted accidentally. I'm all about giving the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.Edit: Now is not the time for finger pointing. This tragedy was unavoidable. The president's initial response was in line with current events. The levees broke more than 24 hours after the storm passed, and NO had not been flooded at that point. Once the city flooded, all agencies began taking action. However, with a tragedy of this magnitude, preparing relief efforts on this scale is a massive undertaking which requires time.

He declared a state of emergency in LA before the hurricane hit.

Actually, the governors of the states did. But, that's not the point. Just after the hurricane hit he defended the relief effort and how quickly the government was working. Then, when public opinion changed, so did he.

Amen Custom.......That's the fundamental problem with Bush supporters in my opinion; They, as a whole, are generally misinformed.

regardless of wether or not josh's opinion was right or not, it was HIS opinion...completely removing if< if thats what indeed happened> is a chicken s hit way out..like an above poster mentioned, i will hold off on judging<not that anybody cares> until we hopefully hear josh's side...

I do have a great respect for your contributions here, Custom. :-) However, I did a search on news.google.com for the following: bush defend "relief effort" katrinaI couldn't find him defending anything but the administration's response to the disaster, but again...the administration isn't in charge of the respons effort, they are where the buck ultimately stops.

This is a generalization that is so vast and wide ranging that it makes me think you're not very informed on politics or current events. I could be wrong, though, it has happened before.

My previous find about Bush declaring the state of emergency in LA was found in the same way. That find is from Sunday August the 28th, 2005.

Yeah....and...? There are a lot more stories on this subject than the state of emergency.Or you could just trust that I wouldn't lie to you. But I know that's hard to do over the internet.

My previous post was to prove the effectiveness of my search technique. I don't believe you're lying to me, however, if this description of bush's action is something you are willing to pass off as fact, it would reason you have some reason for believing what you do.So that's why I asked for a source. :-)

Yeah, I had seen a few stories on it and then when he changed his stance, I knew he was full of shit. I'll do a quick search of my news sites and let you know what I come up with (though it may not be much - a lot happens in a week).

I've watched more msnbc and cnn in the past week, than I have espn, and that's saying something. I even missed the nascar race last night watching katrina coverage.Many times this week the news made me sad, made me mad, made me feel hopeless, and made me feel blessed. This tragedy brings back vivid memories of how I felt the day the towers fell. Before we get all up in arms and start bickering and finger pointing, let's pause and remember the poor souls we lost and the lives that have been forever changed.

Bush defends relief effortThis is Bush about mid flip-flop. You have to scroll down a bit to find the video. It wouldn't let me link directly to the video.
