Well you can set the pace for the world response and send condolences and show support as a fellow citizen of the world.
Is that right?

4. It would make it look like too much of a photo-op and less sincere. |
|
Plus it inteferes with Christmas Vacation and woodchopping. Maybe the emporer has been at the ranch cooking up his latest evil scheme and could not be interrupted.

Oh wait, wrong disaster. I guess he makes a habit of not responding in a timely manner.

16. Our retarded monkey of a president had 2 days to express SOMETHING. |

When he failed to do so, our last legally elected president stepped forward like the leader he is. If Clinton really was all about his ego, he would have gotten in front of the cameras immediately after the tragedy, wouldn't he?

13. Gotta concoct a way to blame it on Clinton |
|
And that takes time, dammit, 'cause it's (all together now) HARD WORK.
It has been my experience that you can never say something nice, or conciliatory, or kind too soon or too often. An immediate, general statement that this catastrophe saddens all of humanity, and that Stupidhead is meeting with his advisors to work out the best, most helpful and quickest response just isn't in the nature of anyone in the White House. They probably had to cast about for a couple of days before they found someone with the necessary empathy to conjure up even this weak response.

15. did he actually head for the cameras or did the cameras find him? and |
|
lacking any word from the chimp, they asked him. What should he have said " I'm sorry, I can't enter my own presidential library or speak on world disasters before the chimp chirps"
