Bush's Handling of the Crisis is Historic

[Zynx]

Historically horrible. I am a presidential history nut and I can not think of very many presidents, particularly in the modern era, that have performed so disasterously and acted so coldly when there is a national disaster of anything approaching this scale going on.

1. But he cut his vacation two days short - what do you expect?

It's hard work - you know!

[Fleshdancer]

2. is there something we're missing???

Did Rove tell him that Cindy Sheehan was in Louisiana or something?

[flyarm]

13. yeah he was playing golf yesterday while people were dying!

and playing guitar today while people were stuck on rooftops and floating in water and hanging on to trees...

sound familiar??

like sitting in a class room reading a book about goats while people were jumping to their deaths??

what A GUY!!...

macho little fucker thought golf was more important than funding the corp of engineers or having national guard in the USA to help Americans...

but don't worry our little heads with that..the kool aide assholes think a islamic theocracy is democracy!!

wow i dispise that ------!

3. This was caused by Nature

He can't start of war with Nature or blame terrorists and whatnot so, in line with PNAC thinking, since the culprit cannot be used for advancing their political agenda, PNACers told shit for brains to lay low and act like nothing happened.

8. You can say that, but wait until he's got that bullhorn in that boat

in a day or two, promising retaliation against IRAN for flooding New Orleans. Why IRAN? Because, and I'm quoting the secret Rove "Bush Katrina Sympathy speech" here: IRAN is acronym (sic) of RAIN.

[BrutalEntropy]

25. the word you're looking for

is anagram ;-)

[lectrobyte]

26. I know anagrams, but this is Bush's speech, and the malapropisms

make it so folksy.

[ComerPerro]

20. His administration has been at war with nature for five years now

[stevedeshazer]

4. Dead man walking.

I am OUTRAGED.

:grr:

[sue_66]

5. Disaster?

What me worry

[AlCzervik]

6. It is beyond terrible, Reagan made me feel better, even 41 was far better

compared to his sociopath son, he's really disgusting.

[Richard Steele]

7. Hey, birthdays are more important than dead people, right?

[aquart]

10. I sent that picture to my whole list.

I gave you credit, added the link. Wish it were a more impressive cake. Who made that dinky thing?

9. He has to go on with his OWN life.

Didn't you hear that?

:sarcasm:

On edit: I really thought I'd succeeded in eliminating all hate from my life -- and then georgie & the fundies/neocons took office.

[Bellamia]

14. Eliminate hate??

Tried that...hasn't worked yet, 'cept for the utter dispair that's coming to the forefront and crowding it out. Can't believe how bad things are.

[silverweb]

15. I hear you.

The Clinton years weren't perfect, but they were hopeful. I really and truly thought I could eliminate negativity and hate from my life, that there was a chance to eliminate them from the world.

Silly me.

I know better now and feel as you do.

:hug:

11. This nutcase is taking down the whole house of cards.

It would have been stable if not for the screwing around in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[riverwalker]

12. golf and a fundraiser yesterday

when the entire country was glued to coverage and bawling.
Disgusting.

[nashville_brook]

16. his "getting on with his life" message was real unfortunate, b/c

that's how he's acting now.

he got on with his life
on the ranch for almost 5 weeks
until last night
in the cozy hotel in coronado
later today
he got on with his speech
comparing TWOT to WW2
did anyone salute?
then he got back
to the ranch
and will mosey
to DC
for an hour in the morning
before
his 2 hour
bike ride
before
the press conference
will anyone salute?

[wiggs]

18. Reminiscent of My Pet Goat.....

....and yet he's still in office. Sometimes I visualize the whole cabal all sitting there in the Oval Office thinking they can't believe the public let's them get away with all this shit. I mean, really....what do they have to do to get kicked out?

They can be as bold, arrogant, greedy, corrupt, and incompetent as they want, and nothing really happens.

Low approval ratings mean squat at this point. In his five years in office, they've certainly accomplished everything the corporatocracy would have hoped for. Each new day in office is gravy...another corporate giveaway, another piece of legislation that concentrates wealth, another nail in the environmental coffin, another smear. They probably laugh that we all point out his 36% rating...the majority opinion against the war. Means nothing! What matters is the power and he's got it and we don't.

He and his enablers (large group of people and organizations) are beyond caring if we think his performance is historically horrible, cold, or incompetent. What matters most is dollars, power, election results, party, and more dollars.

[loudsue]

19. And here are Americans with computerized voting machines

built, programmed, bought and paid for by the republicans, and their moles in the Democratic party, the DLCers.

Yep. We're in a heap of shit.

:kick:

[burrowowl]

21. Given there is no TV in the

areas struke, how can Bu$h have a nice photo op to get these people to vote Repuke? Like I mean why should he bother, the fucktard?

[lumpy]

22. For Gods' sake why hasn't Bush

called in the military from bases that have the necessary equipment to help people out in New Orleans.

[xxqqqzme]

23. he will have 2 B coached

and responses rehearsed B4 he goes down there. Empathy is totally absent in these criminals, so it will have 2 B scripted and rehearsed, otherwise he would not know how 2 act.


when it comes 2 'feeling your pain' Clinton he ain't.

[berni_mccoy]

24. He isn't doing anything because HE CAN'T

He's screwed us all over by using up the guard and the reservists:
