How out of touch is George Bush on this disaster?
by Rob in Baltimore - 8/30/2005 07:43:00 PM


I'm bumping this post back to the top because I just got home from the airport, saw Rob's post, and can't even believe Bush had the gall to do this today of all days.

Per AP,while tens of thousands of people are trapped in the Superdome in New Orleans, Bush played guitar in California. I'm not making this up:
President Bush plays a guitar presented to him by Country Singer Mark Wills, right, backstage following his visit to Naval Base Coronado, Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005.

Bush's Response To Horrific Disaster: Indifference. How Will You Respond To Bush?
by Michael in New York - 8/30/2005 05:36:00 PM


We've got a lot of good arguments posted here from John and Rob and Joe and Chris. Use them, add your own and start writing letters to the editor of your local newspapers, tv stations and radio outlets -- not to mention your elected representatives.

-- President Bush staying on vacation when EVERYONE knew a massive hurricane was getting ready to strike

-- President Bush flogging politics AFTER the hurricane destroyed New Orleans and Biloxi; the President joshing with McCain over birthday cake while the waters were rising

-- President Bush's father sending 25,000 troops after Hurricane Andrew. Either his dad was WASTING time and money or W is falling far short of his father. Again.

-- President Bush pushing a joke of an energy bill that did NOTHING to decrease our dependence on foreign oil, nothing significant to develop alternative fuels and nothing to strengthen our infrastructure. Now we can see how vulnerable it is since one storm is impacting our nation's ability to refine oil.

-- President Bush going back to Texas for another night of vacation instead of going straight to the White House AFTER the disaster struck.

8. Hi, Melodybe

Disgusting! Think he can hand-pick his audience there?



Where's our president? Giving "Please Support My War" speeches from the Flightsuit Airbase in Coronado. Bastard. Little tiny flyweight bastard.

7. Well, he's drooling about all the brown people & Democrats dying...

So in one sense he's very in touch, and in another, completely lacking empathy.

11. I hope and pray that this week Bush's cheerleading won't work.

I really hope and pray that the Americans will see his indifference and insincerity loud and clear. I hope that they see him for what he is...a miserable failure, a selfish, evil, ignorant man. I hope that they won't believe his bullshit lies no matter what horrible circumstances they find themselves in. I hope and pray that people will not buy into his bullshit this time. I hope that they will find the relief, the comfort, the support they need elsewhere and their needs will be met by the Grace of God and not the lies of Bush. Don't buy what he has to sell, no matter what! Please let us see him for what he really is and reject him for it.

13. Amen, Tex...Amen
