President Bush will stop in Mobile, Ala., on Friday, then take a helicopter tour of the Alabama and Mississippi coasts, Mr. McClellan said, and then be on the ground briefly in Mississippi. He will then take an aerial tour of New Orleans.

1. He knows he wouldn't last ten minutes on the ground (or

actually, on the water) in New Orleans.

Chicken is as chicken does, and chicken to the last.

2. The white frat boy might find himself on the wrong end of a lynching.

His long-distance compassion and aerial presence will be so comforting!

[C_U_L8R]

3. the chickenhawk is chickenshit

Hey Bush - Lead or Get out of the Way!!!

[elcondor]

He would be shot

I'm sure his own cowardice is a huge part of why he's not going, but I absolutely don't blame the Secret Service for undoubtedly saying, "he wouldn't make it out." These people are outraged. I don't blame them for being so and I don't wish Bush harm, but that's what would happen.

19. Is the helicopter bulletproof?

Use your imagination.

[lildreamer316]

29. Watch yourself

we don't have enought money to bail you out.

[bluestateguy]

4. Maybe he'll go to St. Tammany's parish

He only wants to be around people who adore him.

This guy wouldn't meet with one petite woman who lost her son in Iraq. He's too much of a chickenhawk coward to meet with the common folk in New Orleans.

5. may he drown in his own shit

6. "Do you have black people in Brazil?"

* would freak in N O.

[MojoXN]

7. What a fucking coward...

A war president indeed! Some macho man, he can't look at those who suffered because of him...

[VolcanoJen]

8. Are the white people in Mobile, or something?

You can bet that if he thought it was safe enough to stand on a raft in New Orleans with a bullhorn, he would.

You know it. You know he would.

[jobycom]

31. Mobile has electricity. You wouldn't want Bush getting all sweaty, or

having his beer get all warm, now would you?

[NYC Liberal]

9. That's because if we went, the people still in NOLA

would not be so kind as those firefighters at Ground Zero after 9/11, you can bet that.

[mcar]

10. They'd have to bus in Potemkin refugees

to stand behind him; he wouldn't dare go anywhere near any of the real people in NO.

Pathetic coward.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

11. I encourage him to give a speech in the SuperDome

That's one I wouldn't want to miss.

[deadparrot]

12. Good.

It's better that way.

NOLA needs all the law enforcement it has to take care of its citizens, not to protect that dumb piece of shit.

[friesianrider]

13. And are we REALLY surprised by this?

Jesus, it's like fucking Baghdad down there. Gunfire, rapes, looting, violence...

Plus, we can't possibly have a totally scripted, invitation-only crowd if our great leader decided to actually grow a fucking heart. We can't have our fearless savior looking like the piece of shit he is now can we?

[rsmith6621]

14. Will He Meet With The Democrat Govenor

Of LA........wanna take bets

[JimmyJazz]

15. Isn't there a brain dead white woman he should be concerned about?

:eyes:

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. There's no 5-Star Hotel to house his 100-Plus Entourage

Even if he comes with his smaller battalion of WH gladiators, he won't go to the ground in NO becuase he might not be allowed to leave.

[Left Is Write]

17. He's a complete and utter disgrace to the office of the president.

[trof]

18. Hey Dumbya? How about staying out of Mobile?

f.u.c.k. you

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Imo, this is a bad time for him to tour the areas.

One of his aids should realize that there are people still stranded either on their roof tops or on the road and the last person they probably want to see is President Pretzelhead.

[leftchick]

21. he would need the military to protect him in NO

they are indisposed at the moment. :eyes:

[Don Claybrook]

22. I say GOOD

The people of New Orleans and the people of the world need to see, one more time, just how callous, uncaring, and aloof this bastard really is.

[marbuc]

23. Alabama and MS

are solidly red, and Louisiana, particularly NO is blue. Makes sense to me, who would he do the photo op with? Landrieu? Blanco? the mayor of NO? I don't think so.

[DS1]

24. They can't arrive ahead of time and tell everyone to look away

from his highness

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

25. I've taken to calling that piss poor excuse for a human being

exactly what he is: the sniveling, yellow coward.

He's just running true to course. I noticed in your original post Lynne you mentioned the fact that he will "be on the ground briefly in Mississippi".

Who wants to bet that arsehole Haley Barbour has the photo-op set up already?

I can only hope that the people responsible for this unbelievable clusterf*ck, will be made to pay and pay dearly.

[liberalpragmatist]

26. Good - no public official should step into the area unless it's relevant

Sorry, a visit by ANY president in a time like this will not only be a security nightmare, it will force officials to divert resources from rescue and relief efforts, causing massive disruptions.

The president doesn't need to have a photo-op right now. And I'd say that if Kerry or Gore or Clinton were president too.

Now, perhaps he should visit shelters for evacuees, but no seeing the city until relief and rescue efforts are over and people are cleared out.

[Garbo 2004]

27. Because he'd probably be safer in Baghdad than NOLA. n/t

[July]

28. BAWK-BAWK-BAWK-BAWK!!! nt

[bullwinkle428]

30. Well, there is one working runway at the airport -

he can always deliver a plastic turkey to the starving evacuees...see, I'm a "compassionate coservative"!

[jobycom]

32. Here's an interesting paragraph, because of who it doesn't mention.

"During his news briefing, Mr. McClellan said the president met today with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld; Gen. Richard B. Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, and Alan Greenspan, the chairman of the Federal Reserve. Mr. McClellan said the luncheon with Mr. Greenspan focused on effects of the disaster on the overall economy."

No Cheney? Maybe the rumors are true. Why else would the president miss this meeting, and send Bush in his place?

[Corgigal]

33. Now what?

I guess he need's a photo op inside a helicopter while he looking down on desperate people of NO. What a guy. At least drop some food down if you're flying over.

[Scout1071]

34. There is no Green Zone for him to hide in!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

35. He probably doesn't want to have to have ANY interaction with the

Democratic governor of LA and mayor of NO. He CERTAINLY doesn't want to be within 10 miles of any of the poor black people starving and dehydrating to death.

[The Jacobin]

36. But look how close he will get
