The Gulf Coast is in a state of emergency yet the President does not feel.
Here's an audio version of The Unfeeling President by E. L Doctorow. I strongly urge everyone to take time to listen to it.

Peace.

1. Hollow words from a hollow man
I thought Cheney was the one with the heart problem.

2. Shrub takes care of Shrub. Period.
The people suffering the death and destruction of Katrina are going to start demanding answers from our President who cannot feel. Count on it.

Peace.:patriot:

3. he's spanking the monkey for his oil/gas pals who will reap profit

4. whatever ability he ever had to feel compassion
sadly must be long gone

he must have had some awful childhood and certainly had heinous role models/encouragers of him becoming a chip

9. It doesn't matter why
He is totally and completely responsible for the choices he is making.

His transparency is stunning... and you can count on this guy to do the wrong thing every time. We ought to be able to figure out a way to use that.


Peace

11. i wasnt telling anyone that it needs to matter - just thinking out loud
welcome to du mary

in all my time here i have never and will never defend this person on anything
i cannot hate but whatever feelings approach that - when i think of it - i sadly do have for him and his evil cabal

there are vast and complicated reasons why people become what they do and there are many people who are growing to be devoid of feeling and our culture is approaching that as well
as a believer in Christ i cannot hate anyone and will at least reach out to understand why this is happening because love will always
always
conquer hate and i just will not allow myself to feel the hate and anger that is also overtaking community worldwide (and yes there is much blame to lay at the feet of bush
i am most definitely not defending him and never ever would - to be honest if he were a more likeable person and not so wholly offensive then i think he could be the anti christ)

peace friend

8. Maybe he's going through withdrawal...
...from whatever it was he consumed before that speech yesterday LOL. Those capillaries were scary.

He needs to get off his a$$ and actually do something for the average people of this country, for once.
