How long exactly did it take * to respond?
Do you count when he first spoke of the hurricane or when he showed up on site?

How many days/hours?

1. I count until he started getting effective help to the people
Using that measure it was 4-5 days. Wasn't it 3-4 days before he got off vacation and finished his photo ops?

3. It was about a week, wasn't it?
He declared a state of emergency for the gulf coast, like, Friday or Saturday of last week, then held back relief and rescue till they were ready for the photo ops on Friday.

While he was waiting, he was traipsing around trying to fuck old folks out of their medicaid, pretending to play the guitar, letting McCain lick his butt, and sucking his thumb.


Demand resignations! Now!

4. Four days
four days without water and food. Locked up in the SD with no facilities and dead bodies can seem like 4 years....

6. Trying to figure that out
What is the date of the supposed 24 hour offer to federalize? I can't find that. I'm going to compare the different press conferences and the numbers given, the posse comitatus statements, etc. There was definitely a lag in there. Also, Jabbor Gibbons was supposedly the FIRST to arrive in Houston on Sept 1. Is that what got the rest of the buses moving?

7. Let's say from when the levees broke...
That seems like a good starting point. And we'll have the other cut-off at the point where the idiot boy-king rode into the disaster area at the head of a great big convoy. So, at least four days. For four days that sick sonofabitch let thousands suffer and die.

9. Just started reading
the forums today. Yesterday I saw a site with some pics and videos on the hurricane they had photoshopped his image playing that guitar. Just wondering has anybody just put the untouched photos of the birthday party, the guitar bit, and the fund raiser next to same time photos of the hurricane? With time and dates. Think this would be pretty powerful.

10. He spoke from the White House on Wednesday, after his
fundraising trip to California. He visited the sites on Friday. Hurricane hit early Monday morning. He didn't sign needed papers until Thursday.
