With this huge natural disaster, what is our president doing?
Why, campaining, of course. Bush will be in Arizona and California the next two days to talk about his Medicare program.

2. NPR GOP-bot Cokie Roberts said * allocated funds for Katrina victims
She continued on, saying that * wanted to avoid the mistake that his father made. When hurricane Andrew nailed Homestead, FL, old Bush appeared indifferent. It figures that Cokie would politicize a hurricane.

4. And, we're not politicizing a hurricane?!?!?!
Being from New Orleans and having family there, I find the zeal that many DUers have politicized this situation to be beyond the pale.

6. "Anybody can post at DU"
I see a lot behavior here that is sheep-like and unproductive, to say the least.

3. He's giving billions to small busines donors that may be illegal....
Just saw on the news, he's at a giveaway party for the SBA. He's giving away money everywhere, and like a con-artist trying to further his credibility but instead undermining it with more dirt.

That's what he means by hard work. :crazy:

7. honestly
I mean honestly the real issue is why people still chose to live in a place frequented by hurricans? It's like if you lived at the end of a highway and every year a car would go smashing through your living room would you still live there after a few years?
