White House knew the New Orleans levees failed even though a day later they denied it. Folks, they lied again.

There is nothing George Bush won't lie about.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Bush administration officials said they had been caught by surprise when they were told on Tuesday, Aug. 30, that a levee had broken, allowing floodwaters to engulf New Orleans.

But Congressional investigators have now learned that an eyewitness account of the flooding from a federal emergency official reached the Homeland Security Department's headquarters starting at 9:27 p.m. the day before, and the White House itself at midnight.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency official, Marty Bahamonde, first heard of a major levee breach Monday morning. By late Monday afternoon, Mr. Bahamonde had hitched a ride on a Coast Guard helicopter over the breach at the 17th Street Canal to confirm the extensive flooding. He then telephoned his report to FEMA headquarters in Washington, which notified the Homeland Security Department.

The president of the United State is a liar. And the Republicans used to tell us that Bill Clinton's one lie about oral sex was going to send all American children to hell, yet now we have a White House and a president who do nothing but lie about everything. Everything.

The Republicans control the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court, the US Senate and the US House. If you want to keep electing liars, if you're happy the way the country has been going the past five years that the Republicans have controled everything, then keep voting Republican. You get the government you deserve.
