Why Did Bush Take FOUR DAYS After Katrina, But Is Always in FL RIGHT AWAY?
I was just considering this. Before the 2004 Elections, Bush was immediately there in Florida handing ice to people after a major hurricane, smiling for his fake photo ops while "helping" those in need. It seems to me that whatever the natural disaster in Florida, he's there like the next day smiling with asshole Jebbie.

But Katrina? The most destructive storm in U.S. history? FOUR DAYS. It took him FOUR DAYS to even acknowledge any kind of problem existed on our Gulf Coast. Guess those "colored folks" don't matter so much to him, huh? Guess his brother Jeb isn't Governor of Louisiana, huh? Guess it won't score him more political points, huh? Guess he really didn't need to do anything about it, since he was already "re-elected" (or more appropriately, "re-Diebolded") into office anyway, huh?

When it comes down to it, that asshole doesn't care about anything or anyone but himself and whatever is politically expedient. If it won't score him as many political points, he says forget it.

But oh, don't forget, we need to bow down to him because he says he's a Christian, he can do no wrong.
:sarcasm:

I'm sorry, I understand the Dem position on impeachment at this present moment, BUT...all I can say is, they'd BETTER impeach this criminal bastard when they take Congress. Screw investigations, we've had enough of them now to totally PROVE Bush's criminal behavior!

No way was Bush One going to help support Lawton Chiles.

3. You answered your own question
It was before the 2004 elections and Florida was a huge battleground state.

6. Yep. Whatever scores him more political points.
It truly is disgusting! And in my opinion, criminal negligence for not responding to Katrina.

9. Pray tell - what in the world do you think investigations would lead to?
Seriously, are you so freakin' short sighted that you can't see that? YOU might not need investigations, but I guarantee you at LEAST half of America needs them.

13. If you will recall, it took him five days to respond to the tsunami.
I believe he was on vacation when both of these disasters struck.
