9. Go through a group of crowds at New Orleans
and hug them and say "I feel your pain...we'll be here with you all the way."

Wait. A real president WILL be doing that. CLinton.

BUsh cannot hide the fact that he has no conscience. No caring bone in his body. He really doesn't. So nothing he could even feign to do would convince me of his care.

He is a sociopath that should be kept from humanity for the remainder of his life.

How do you like them apples?

15. He had his chance this afternoon and yesterday. He blew it.
Too late. Like his sorry ass "relief" for the people who are starving. It's odd that they can get ammo there before food. With that sort of "organization", I think he's doing everything he can to prove he DOES NOT care.

19. Give enough that it hurts him
He could sell his possessions and empty out his bank accounts and sell off his investment portfolio, donating all the proceeds to the victims of Katrina. I might start to reconsider his sincerity then.

46. I agree...
Then he can trade places with one of the hurricane victims, and starve become dehydrated, and suffer the intense heat and humidity. Then he can be blamed for his failure to wave a magic wand and conjure up transportation out of the city, when he lives far below the poverty level, and has no car, no money, and no hope.

After that, he can try to rebuild some kind of life with no money, no job, no house, all his possessions gone, and wonder where his parents are, because he hasn't heard from them since Monday.

He can endure the stench, the dead bodies,the anger and frustration of people who know damn good and well that America views them as less than deserving of compassion because their skin is dark, and they are poor. That's just for starters. Give me time, and I'll figure out the really hard part for him.

Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 02:48 AM by Wizard777
conversation with real Americans. Those who want to kiss his butt should have equal time with those who want his head on a silver platter. This should be broadcast nationally on all channels. He cannot be allowed to continue to run this country. If he cannot come Face to Face with the Nation. The Bush Family wants to be the new Kennedy's. Well here's your chance. Show your love for the American people. Directly. Let nothing come between you and the American people you love.

32. Abdicate
and declare himself inelegible for any future presidential pardon. And donate all his stolen money, in perpetuity, to New Orleans victims. And send his daughters to Iraq. Then put his head in a bucket of excrement and keep it there until the year 2049.

That'd be a start, anyway.

34. Tidy up a few things before he resigns
OK - I'm unreasonable, but since you asked.

1. Fire FEMA's Michael Brown and Homeland Security Chertoff. Not "Accept" thier resignation - fire their asses on live TV.

2. Don't fire Karl Rove - just drop him off outside the Green Zone.

3. Fire the rest of the NEO-Cons in the cabinet

4. Ask for Cheney's resignation. Send him on humanitarian missions to 3rd world slums until he does.

5. Nominate a Democrat for Vice President. (No, it can't be Lieberman). When confirmed and sworn in:

6. No Pardons.

7. Resign.

The I'll think he cares. That does not mean I forgive him.

35. It's too late for that.
He should have gone in and and sat with the AL/MS/LA governors and Mayor Nagin while they figured out what to do. He should have gone right in and started getting his hands dirty with the rest of them.

But it's too late now.

36. We know who he is. He is a liar. He is contemptuous of people
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 02:57 AM by applegrove
not as privileged as him. He is stupid. He is a puppet. He is responsible for pushing an agenda which will destabilize the world. He hires incompetent people and then rewards them when they have lost wars due to hubris and incompetence or got a country to go to war on evidence of nuclear parts as diagnosed by a mechanical engineer. He is selfish. Narcissistic. Mean. Retaliatory. Divisive. He is a Patsy. And ass-puppet and he won't admit it to himself. He rewards stupidity and evil. He diminishes the lives of Americans and all who unfortunately have any dealings with him. He breaks trade agreements. He bullies. He is trying very hard to bankrupt the American Federal Government and works day in day out to do this. His economic policies like "health" are inefficient & unequitable so there is no excuse for their existance. His claims to capitalism only go as far as when it is in American best interest to do so - no markets are aloud to exist in country unless he deems they to his liking. His titles for all his programs are lies and patronizing to any thinking human being. He will not answer questions like an adult. He doesn't care if votes were suppressed. He thinks we are stupid. He tries to teach his countrymen & women to be mean and callus and selfish. He promotes scientific theories that are lies. He puts the exact right person in place in every single appointment he can to undo the work of world diplomats and thinkers for the last 100 years. He makes up issues and inflames emotions to create a big tent for his bosses. He gets intelligence from people with agendas that match is own and ignores intelligence from other sources. He doesn't arm his soldiers adequately. He creates poverty. He allows the middle class wage funk to subsidize a roaring economy for the rich. He asks not that the rich sacrifice one iota for anything.. even as they make money off their energy stocks..they are not paying for the war. This is taxation without representation to people who are not even born yet. He promotes corporations who try to get the patent for bazmati so they can make it seedless so the poor in India will have to pay every year for new seeds - instead of harvesting them like they have for thousands of years. He is an aggressive bully. He sits on his ass during the aftermath of a hurricane and pretends he doesn't know lawlessness will occur because it suits is current political needs and will be a chance for him to bond with his callus base who want to see their worst & racist fears played on the TV. He creates hate where there is none. He creates divisions in the Democratic party by serving various types of fear and vagueness on certain key issues...and by purposely not solving others. All his policy is vetted by a sociopath to make sure it will benefit is small coalition of wealthy friends in a political way for years to come. He uses Social Security, tax breaks, corporations over-estimating growth in pension funds, etc. as one time fluff girls to pump up the market for the rich. He attacks anyone who could lead a sober opposition and denies any involvement. He is a cocaine addict and a drunk. He is incompetent in foreign policy and is isolating the West from the world and ensuring strong ties between rogue states like Iran and great statesmen like Chavez. He invests not at all in human capital. He values a single corporation before populations of millions. He supports racist colleges and snobby think-tanks. He has a phony accent. He is in psychological distress and should step down but refuses. He has no judgment. He allows the people around him to teach Americans to think as adolescents and punishes those who do not. He refuses to fix the problems with voter suppression at the ballot box. And I could go on and on. He is vain. He is cruel. He has no conscience left. He whines like a baby. He refuses to fire people who break laws. He goes back on his word. He never admits he is wrong. He never apologizes. He hasn't got the balls to meet with Cindy. He wants to tell every state in the world how to act but is too delicate to make a speech in a group that is not first sorely vetted for anyone who may think for themselves. He enables character assasinations. He lets people die if it is politically expedient. He speechs with a forked tongue. He stands for nothing human.
