Remember that.

That's the kind of "leader" we have.

2. That's because Terri was an innocent victim.
(crap, I Still can't say that with a straight face) Yup, compassionate. And conservative. Or the Gold Star parents whose children were killed in his war.

3. Gee, I'd hate to think that this useless
excuse for a leader wasn't having a good time for himself. He gave a speech today about Social Security. Better he should have gotten his sorry ass to Louisiana or Mississippi or Alabama and at least looked like he was interested in what happened. (Not that I think he has a compassionate bone in his body or anything, but it would be the right thing to do.)

9. Maybe he's for substandard care for the needy
Certainly will help his budget figures if they are not trying to draw benefits. Let them drown or die from disease may be his desire.

Of course, if he lets those 28% poverty people die, whose going to work for his global buddies and maintain their profit rate?

11. And lets not forget how long it took him to respond to the Tsunami

But how long did it take for Bush to put in a call when his oil buddy, Saudi Arabia's King Fahd passed on?

http://www.digisnetwork.com/webnews/wed/ba/Ayb77254860.RGz-_Fl1.shtml

Fahd died at approximately 2:30 a.m. EDT, a senior Saudi official in Washington told The Associated Press. President Bush was alerted within minutes of Fahd's death, the official said on condition of anonymity. The king's funeral was to be held Tuesday evening, he said.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/fahd_08-01-05.html

President Bush was informed of the death in the morning when he arrived at the Oval Office, according to spokesman Scott McClellan. The president reportedly called Abdullah to express condolences and congratulations on his accession.

Lurking Republicans, make no mistake where your dear leader's true priorities lie.
