Bush speech: he is instructing people to do what they are already doing

[Nikki Stone 1]

And he is starting a Homeland Security task force.

Oh goodie.

[KyndCulture]

1. and he's bumbling and stumbling as usual..

we already know all this! he's such a useless bastard.

[Kikosexy2]

2. Thought..

we had one already...HUh??

[Kikosexy2]

3. Thought..

we had one already...HUh??

[Nikki Stone 1]

4. Sounds very stilted. They've been cramming him with sentences

and it may be too much for him

[bballny]

5. Are we being advised to go shopping n/t

[OhioBlue]

6. He sounds like he is trying to brag about what he is doing

Showing no compassion what so ever. He's so f-in arrogant, i can't stand his voice.

[Nikki Stone 1]

8. Yeah, he wants to sound "very busy"

and at the helm.

[Nikki Stone 1]

12. HE HAS NO STRATEGIES

Notice how they are all "in development"?

[OhioBlue]

18. yeah - he's working hard n/t

[bballny]

16. wait

he needs to have his 2 hour workout. must not disturb his schedule

[lancdem]

11. He has no compassion

He's a sociopath.

[berni_mccoy]

7. He's not instructing anyone...

He's just reporting...

[bballny]

9. I thought

in all tragedies according to Bush we should go out and shop

[Nikki Stone 1]

33. He was certainly reporting. He kept saying "I instruct" and then naming

something that other people were already doing. It seemed ironic and stupid to me. The title of the post is sarcastic.

[Carla in Ca]

42. And this is a tragic event he KNEW was coming

and it sounds like he didn't say anything very important. Gee, sorry I missed it.:crazy:
My God, if an earthquake hits here, please just tell him to stay away!

[Tyranny_R_US]

10. He's like a lazy ass landlord who doesnt do shit from his tenants

except take their money.

[Nikki Stone 1]

15. That is exactly how he seems right now

Lots of words but nothing specific about what will be done

[OhioBlue]

13. he said that they will immediately

find resources to help the displaced citizens like housing, education and health care and that his admin will work on this.... uhhhh... if you want it to work, maybe you should ask someone like Howard Dean to organize this.

[Nikki Stone 1]

17. HE will immediately find resources?

Where?

[OhioBlue]

23. well, from his speech, i'm thinking he will give grants

to the faith-based community to do this.

[Nikki Stone 1]

37. Oh great. Pat Robertson's "Operation Blessing" will make a killing out of

the NO tragedy.

[lancdem]

14. Somehow I don't find the words "task force"

very comforting. It sounds so bureaucratic.

[Nikki Stone 1]

20. Lots of people talking

They are totally unprepared for this

[intheflow]

25. Yes, like they have to study global warming some more.

That bit gave me chills. Task Forces should have been working on this kind of evacuation plan for years. It's not as though the Gulf isn't a strategic target for terrorists, never mind hurricanes.

I'm much more upset after seeing the fucktard speak.

[earthside]

19. He Hates This

This is a stinking mess.

It is not about war.

He's bored.

What a bomb of an address about the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history.

[Nikki Stone 1]

21. VERY VERY SHORT

Less than 10 minutes

[Nikki Stone 1]

22. And no questions from anyone

DId anybody see Cheney?

[Ms. Clio]

32. No, and I was specifically looking for him, too

You'd think that the head of the Office of National Preparedness might have wanted to show up for this, but he obviously had other priorities.

[Nikki Stone 1]

34. How much clearer could "I don't really care" be?

Nobody seems to care very much.

[Ms. Clio]

43. They truly don't care --- that's what it comes down to

I think it's hard for the average American to wrap her or his innocent and trusting mind around that hard truth, but we are bugs on the windshield to BushCo.

[Double T]

24. Translation: Instructing people to continue to fail as they have already

been failing. Sounds about right.

[Nikki Stone 1]

26. I have never seen a shorter, more inadequate response in my life!

Either he is a paper doll repeating lines crammed into him, or he genuinely doesn't give a shit.

[pepperlove]

27. I sat with mouth wide open....

as he just reiterated what everyone has already been doing and then said he "has instructed them" to do so... OMG, what a liar! And people BUY this garbage?

[Nikki Stone 1]

30. He added nothing new except "task forces" which wouldn't be needed if

the government was properly funded.

Welcome to privatization--the underfunded public sector and the bloated private sector.

[Ms. Clio]

28. What people are doing is dying

So it seems they will continue to do so.

[qanda]

29. All I want to know is

Will he show up with a poster of Hurricane Katrina that says, "Wanted: Dead or Alive"?

[Nikki Stone 1]

38. You can't nuke a hurricane. Even with Bonjovi vocals.

:(

[JHB]

41. He's going to bomb Saddam again

Makes as much sense as any he's said so far.

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. There is no plan

none whatsoever

[Nikki Stone 1]

39. That's exactly the impression I got

If they ran the Iraq debacle the same way, no wonder it became a debacle.

[Charlie Brown]

35. Bush's priority: arrest and punish the looters n/t

[JustSayNO 2 Sheeples]

36. Don't dis the Prez

He is under terrible stress right now, having to shorfall his vacation. Damn these dead people.

[Nikki Stone 1]

40. LOL!!

But so true.
