NBC: people think Bush did a good job on 9/11.

[Raven]

What is this crap about Bush doing a "good job" on 9/11? People need to be made to ask "what exactly did he do?" He flew around in an airplane...he made a speech. Any regular American could have done that. It was the Mayor of NYC and police and fire crews who were on the front lines. It was every mayor of every town in this country who stepped up to the plate. Did this guy do a "good job" because he didn't have a nervous breakdown? Did he do a "good job" because he funded homeland security but then didn't let the money go to the front lines. This man did not do a "good job" and someone (nationally) has to say it. If he had done a "good job" Boston would not be an armed camp. (And, mark my words, the RNC will be worse because the Bush troops will want to give the nation the impression that Bush, not Kerry, is the terrorists' target...you just wait and see.) I'm sorry, I'm venting but I think we may be doomed.

2. He saved his own ass and let us die.

4. I couldn't have said it better.

3. The key here is "think". They are led to belive by the evidence presented

to them he did a "good job". The upside is that since it's not true, the perception can be changed.

5. I think he did have some

kind of "breakdown," at the very least a major "meltdown." Just think about how many hours passed before he presented himself in front of the American people. It was the entire goddamn day. The republicans created a mythology about that day and sold it to the media who then peddled it to half the nation.

7. Naw, he thought it was

the Rapture and he was pissed because he thought HE was s'pposed to start it.

6. That line is old and lame

and I've yet to hear someone tell me what exactly is was that * did that was so good. I'm apprehensive about RNC and the fallout as well.

8. Contrarian view: Let 'em think that

Who cares, really? That was damn near three years ago. If someone wants to say "Golly, Georgie sure did a good job back on September 11, flying to Louisiana and then to Nebraska to get out of harm's way and looking for a hidey hole where he could feel safe enough."

Our job is electing a president to serve from 2005 to 2009. Georgie can be president of the September 11 disaster, and good for him. The rest of us are looking at America's fortunes for the years after that terrible day, and it's up to us to decide whether we want to be led by the man who stood up under enemy fire, or the man who ran like a scared rabbit.

The choice is pretty simple. Let's look forward folks.

12. Well, I care.

He's practically hanging his whole reelection on that. You know, it kinda like "reelect the guy because he did a "good job" on the nation's worst day." I don't want to let that stand!

9. I remember him not doing a good job.

I remember thinking on 9/11 that my President was either Tony Blair or Rudy Giuliani. After all, they were the only two people speaking to us.

10. Good job for his Saudi masters

eom

[Deja Q]

11. How many people wept for Kirk?

Star Trek II - because of sheer negligence on Kirk's part, Khan got a sizeable advantage in promoting his attack. Yet Kirk still got all the glory and parades.

Even if people knew of LIHOP or MIHOP, I suspect a lot of them would still be bush kiss-ups anyway. x( Sympathy for a leader who (in *'s case) acts like 'the common man'.

13. Bill Clinton did a better job on 9/11

He was vacationing in Australia, dropped everything and went back to NYC and got there a day before *

[Zorra]

14. Good job? 3,000 people dead from a terrorist attack on Bu$h's watch?

:puke:WTF?

15. at least one 9/11 family member doesn't think that!

Melody Homer, the wife of Flight 93s first officer, was at home in Marlton, N.J., the morning of Sept. 11 with their 10-month-old child. Within minutes of seeing the second plane turn into a fireball, Ms. Homer called the Flight Operations Center at John F. Kennedy International Airport, which keeps track of all New York-based pilots. She was told that her husband's flight was fine.

"Whether or not my husband's plane was shot down," the widowed Mrs. Homer said, "the most angering part is reading about how the President handled this."

Mr. Bush was notified 14 minutes after the first attack, at 9 a.m., when he arrived at an elementary school in Sarasota, Fla. He went into a private room and spoke by phone with his national security advisor, Condoleezza Rice, and glanced at a TV in the room. Mrs. Homer's soft voice curdles when she describes his reaction: "I can't get over what Bush said when he was called about the first plane hitting the tower: That's some bad pilot. Why did people on the street assume right away it was a terrorist hijacking, but our President didn't know? Why did it take so long to ground all civilian aircraft? In the time between when my husband's plane took off and when the second plane hit in New York <9:02 a.m.>, they could have turned back to airfield."

16. People get only one side of the story with their news

The reason F9/11 is so popular is because people are getting the side of the news they didn't get the first time.

It use to be that there was fairness and objectivity in the news.
