With Bush -- always watch what he does, not what he says
He pledged so much money for NYC after 9/11 and reneged.

He pledged so much money for Africa in order to combat the AIDS epidemic and reneged.

He pledged so much money for fund NCLB and reneged.

The only thing Louisiana has going for it is that is a red state.

9. I could only watch a little ......
..... but less then 1 hour ago he was on fox selling his war to create an
Islamic theocracy and squandering $200 billion ......

Even fox knew it was bad a cut the video .......

My science and landscaping background tells me that NO will have water
the depth of Lake P. if the levee is not fixed ASAP. The waters will try to
reach equilibrium. that is 16' deep And the mississippi watershed will be filled w/ rain from Katrini.

2. Exactly...he's a pretentious b*stard...
...says whatever he needs to to appease the ears and maintain political capital, but what he does is typically the opposite of what he says.

Molly Ivins has addressed this multiple times.

7. By the topography they all knew
that New Orleans was a disater waiting to happen. Why didn't the Army Corp of Engineers go in and fix the levees problem before countless people died?

10. Bush is the Great Double Dealer, 'Mr. Duplicity'.........
Pledging funds and passing legislation without ever providing actual funding for it.
