Typical of his addictive personality.

[LSK]

2. how are we going to pay for this???????

WE are waiting.....

[nonconformist]

No shit, that's just what I said.

Now, is he going to tell us how we're gonna PAY for all this?!?

[lophopper]

16. Can't we just print more money?

I mean, we own the priting presses..right??

:sarcasm:

[rodeodance]

17. Jr. is tossing out money like he is on a campaign trail making promises.

[Jawja]

46. Yes, and shouldn't

this be the Govenor of Lousiana? Who the hell is HE to usurp her position and lead all of the restoration. Why not just allocate the funds to her and the Louisiana Legislature??

[cynatnite]

3. Thanks Skinner

I was having hell trying to post :bounce:

[rodeodance]

5. Jr, is again reciting a liteny of all the things the Gov is doing!

[Jawja]

74. Exactly!

Just what I was saying... who the hell is HE to be out there talking about all this?

[tjdee]

6. Does he think we don't watch the news either?

All he's doing is saying what people are doing. There was a hurricane.

Call the Red Cross.

UGH.

Nothing new at all, as usual.

[doublethink]

7. Wish the automatic sprinkler system ......

would come on behind him about right now. :)

[expatriate]

I want the shade of Andrew Jackson

to animate that statue and have the horse dook all over him.

Right before trampling him.

[pinkpops]

[Presstitutes]

dazed and confused

GET PAID TO BLOG: http://www.presstitutes.com/

[knowbody0]

he cannot not smirk

[meganmonkey]

Welcome to DU!

Love the username

:toast:

[crispini]

10. why can't this man talk like a regular human being?

He talks like he's reading something he doesn't even understand.

[Reciprocity]

79. Because he is the anti christ.

[Maru Kitteh]

Damn, I'm so glad he got to the oil and gas pipelines right away!

That's what is really important you know. :sarcasm:

[cwydro]

95. yeah

wonder why gas is over 3 bucks still? He is a jerk. Gag me watching this. Aaaaarrrgggghhhh!

[maine_raptor]

11. He's in everyman mode tonight

keeps missing the "g" in all words ending in "ing"

[briang5000]

how does changing zoning laws and codes prevent a repeat?

[briang5000]

53. will listen to GOOD ideas

[justiceischeap]

12. Many inappropriate smirks and smiles (eom)

Freepers don't seem too in to the speech either.

[yankeefanatic3]

HE BRINGS UP RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN A DIFFERENT CONTEXT!

I can't believe it, that's totally a strategy to try to take that aspect away from the situation. What a total nutjob

[yankeefanatic3]

13. Democratic counter message should be "Why 3 weeks after the hurricane are

you telling us this?"

[LSK]

19. yep n/t

[Atman]

14. He's not falling on his face

But he's not doing much, either. Looks ascared sometimes, not really sure what he's reading at others.

[highplainsdem]

15. jobs should go to locals, but at reduced wages, thanks to him

[spanone]

18. Looks like a Hollywood set. Bizarre.

He's hard selling his 'legacy'.

[Maddy McCall]

20. Damn. He's slurring like a Bourbon Street drunkard.

:silly:

[SammyWinstonJack]

38. Shades of his partying days in NO?

[Olney Blue]

72. One too many "hurricanes" from Pat's

[leftyleftist]

21. Waiting for my laugh tonight

Or my tears. I hate this president, but he always screws something up and makes me laugh. However, with this speech, given the subject, I can't see myself laughing even at his worst gaffe.

What the fuck happened to my country???

[LSparkle]

22. I'll bet that church isn't naturally blue ...

It's lit to coordinate with AssInChief's shirt.

"As many jobs should go to the people who live in Louisiana and MIssissippi" ... AND THEY'LL BE PAID POVERTY WAGES, not the going rates.

[Maddy McCall]

66. It's not. It's white.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

23. Oh god. Bush giving us a lesson on racial inequality?

:puke:

[yankeefanatic3]

50. i'm sure he will listen to the REPUBLICAN Congress

[yankeefanatic3]

64. "Including minority enterprises" -- This shows the racial discrimination

accusation caused him to take a HUGE hit!

[MrSlayer]

24. He reads like a fourth grader, this speech sucks.

He's boring as hell tonight.

[ET Awful]

26. For someone who just got back from a vacation in the Texas sun

he sure is a pasty lookin' SOB ain't he?

[Fridays Child]

27. Cue the exploding freeper heads. He sounds like a Democrat.

:rofl:

[mshasta]

51. we want evacuates to come home....

but under our terms...:sarcasm:

[Pithy Cherub]

28. "deep persistent poverty. confront poverty with bold action." Save Us!

[meganmonkey]

29. Can't wait to see his 'bold action' on poverty

:eyes:

This is so depressing

:puke:

[rodeodance]

63. "a gulf opportinity zone" eeks (tax relief for small businesses)

[Debau2005]

30. Almost 15 minutes in

And I am not hearing anything I don't already know. So what is his point?

[RockaFowler]

31. I Don't Know how much more I can take

:puke:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

32. Yada, yada, yada....

Lots of words saying nothing.

Rhetoric double-plus!

[Thor_MN]

Hey ASSHAT!!!! Where the "I'm responsible" bit?

Or have you forgotten about that already?

[tjdee]

Minority owned businesses? Is he serious?

Just throw that in, because he loves black people!!

:eyes:

[Cleita]

33. This has phoney stamped all over it.

This was taped over and over again until he got Karen Hughes' words right. He's not doing anything like he's promising. They have sunk to new lows.

[mvd]

34. Only heard his first couple sentences before going out..

of the room, but he couldn't even say them without seeming like the phony asshole that he is!

[Bouncy Ball]

35. He's Blinky McBlinks-A-Lot again.

He's overenunciating. As usual, so that he won't slur, presumably.

"taxpayers expect the rebuilding to be done honestly and wisely.." so they'll have inspectors in place.

(Fox to inspect hen house murders...)

Taxpayers expected the feds to DO THEIR JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

He DARES to talk about racism and poverty???? Dares to say "let us rise above the inequality?"

YEAH, RIGHT. The have mores are already fighting over who gets to build up some McMansions there, run all the poor people out permanently.

[knowbody0]

75. he's looking for black people

[kitkatrose]

36. Nice platitudes,

WTF are you really gonna do about it. :banghead:

[Stephanie]

37. HE DOES NOT COMPREHEND A WORD HE SAYS

He's just listening to the sound of his own voice, imitating a tone that he thinks is appropriate, he's fallen into a rhythmic, nonsensical cadence. HE DOES NOT UNDERTAND A WORD OF IT.

[Reciprocity]

39. Most of his time is spent telling what happened.

We need to know the specifics on what he is doing about it. Another rah rah speech.

[maine_raptor]

40. So how many can buy a new house for $2000

[Contrary1]

41. After his speech...

will there be an 800 number provided to vote him off?

[geomon666]

Ah, had to throw in the minority owned buisnesses.

Let's be real. That ain't gonna happen. Not in the New New Orleans.

I don't like seeing murderers on my tv.

[chalky]

42. And he gives the freaking FEMA phone number,

The same number that Randi Rhodes called where the caller got a recording that said, "We're too busy to help you. We're hanging up on you now." And it DID.

[progmom]

43. I can't take it anymore

:mad:

[Fleshdancer]

did anyone write down that toll free number he gave?

Does it go to a federal office somewhere or to Red Cross? What number is that?

[chalky]

You mean that number to FEMA? The same number that Randi Rhodes

called last week to show that the caller would get a recording telling them FEMA was too busy and the call would be disconnected???

[dweller]

44. Amurka has a dooty...

he's gotta go now!

dp

[brainshrub]

So when is he going to apologize for his incompetence?

[Solly Mack]

45. people should own and not rent those (new) homes

to go up in New orleans

ho hum

[cynatnite]

47. He's wearin' blue for the workin' class

:eyes: like he's ever done a day's work.

[Junkdrawer]

48. Is he going to audit the 60 billion, or will the GAO oversee the money?

:shrug:

[BlackVelvetElvis]

A bone threw to fiscal conservatives

who want to account for the money spent on the rebuilding.
What about IRAQ?

[Mist]

85. "En-tre-pre-NEWERS" - by which he means Halliburton, et al n/t

[pdxmom]

49. I feel a huge disconnect

after watching the news and hearing stories about things that are exactly the opposite of what he's saying. He's standing there, telling us about all of these things they are currently doing, and I just spent the previous hour hearing about how people in Mississippi have yet to see anyone from FEMA, how bureacracy is creating trouble and how people still are suffering.

[geomon666]

52. Yes build higher!

New Orleans to become Cloud City!

[eleny]

87. He's gonna make the Pie Higher!

Did Walt Disney get revived to write this speech? What a load of curlicue bullshit.

[karlrschneider]

55. After the speech will he try to milk that horse behind him?

:evilgrin:

[peaches2003]

Bad photo op, Karl

The idiot's head looks detached- floating in a sea of light blue! ROFLMAO!!!

[cynatnite]

56. Gulf opportunity zone????

Is that another word for 'Halliburton'?

[fooj]

57. I would cut my left arm off for his TELEPROMPTER to screw up!

:rofl:

[me b zola]

58. more of he will listen to all ideas. Yeah, right, we've heard that before

:eyes:

[maine_raptor]

59. There it is TAX CUTS

[Justyce]

94. you have to be shitting me....

though i'm not surprised. i can't even bring myself to watch the bastard - had to turn it off

[rocktivity]

60. Faith-based intitiatives, ownership society

People haved died because of his stupidity, and he's still peddling his agenda!

[bettyellen]

61. tax cuts for businesses! wooo hooo.!

[spanone]

62. What about the responsibility Mr. Asshole?

He's throwing money around like we had fucking surpluses out the wazoo.

[yankeefanatic3]

80. It's clear Bush took a hit from the racial discrimination factor

and he keeps fighting back with "minority" this and that

[rodeodance]

86. tax breaks including for 'minority' businesses. Is this affirmative action

[dweller]

91. ...crickets.... n/t

dp

[Murdock]

65. A Zone?

?!? :wtf:

[NRaleighLiberal]

67. Freudian slip - GOLF opportunity zone?!

[NRaleighLiberal]

93. Looks like the horse is about to kick him in the head!

[leftyleftist]

68. Of course!

A Gulf Opportunity Program. Naturally! He can only think of how people can make money off of this.

[crispini]

69. Gulf Opportunity Zone, eh?

How much of that funding is really going to get into the pockets of small business as opposed to big business?

[Fridays Child]

70. I'll listen to Congress about how I can give more $ to Halliburton and SCI

[Fridays Child]

96. Ooh, everyone hurry and sign up for the new Projects!

[LSK]

71. Gulf what zone???

[Bumblebee]

73. a bullhorn moment it ain't. His eyes look shifty and scared

[cynatnite]

76. We're gonna get taxed out the ass for this n/t

[Debau2005]

77. Talking about jobs

Yet he is letting the govt contractors pay less then the standard for the area! So I am confused. We are providing jobs, but not decent paying jobs...

[LSparkle]

78. Blink blink blink scowl blink blink blink

He looks like a frat boy in that (empty) shirt.

[highplainsdem]

81. on the side of entrepreneurs -- what a surprise

[tjdee]

82. A Gulf Opportunity zone! Bwahahaha!

That's the most hilarious thing I've ever HEARD!

And he said minority owned business again!

I guess I should get me down there and open up a moonshine shop, since even I, a black person, can own a business in the Gulf Opportunity Zone! :eyes:

[JesterCS]

83. oh jesus

Releif Victim Accounts... sounds like Social Security Accounts ><

[Solly Mack]

84. it's all about helping Halliburton rebuild New Orleans

well, once you boil it down to what he really means

[RockaFowler]

88. Did He Just Repeat Himself??

He said Minority Business Owners 2 times in the same way. Very Weird

[Sydnie]

89. 40 acres and a mule??? n/t

[fooj]

90. If you need help finding work...

HALLIBURTON will hire you for as much as $5.15 an hour!

What a crock of shit!

Peace.

[lizziegrace]

92. He can't stand up straight

He has to lean to one side with the help of the podium. And his left shoulder droops while the left is in a perpetual shrug...

[Stand and Fight]

97. "for small businesses"... "for small businesses"... "for small busines

Better opportunities...

"for small businesses"...
"for small businesses"...
"for small businesses"...
"for small businesses"...
"for small businesses"...
"for small businesses"...
"for small businesses"...
"for Halliburton."

Shit!

[liwkenne]

98. We'll build higher?

Chimpy is advocating building houses on stilts in New Orleans?

[MrSlayer]

99. Wow "including" minorities, how big of him.

I can't believe this guy is the President. It's so fucking insane.

[Contrary1]

100. He'll be able to count "new jobs" as another accomplishment. n/t

[gardenista]

101. The statue in the background looks like a death rider

The lighting and background is terrible.

[crispini]

103. Free lots on federal land, eh?

Coming from you, Shrub, I have to wonder what the catch is. Are they on toxic waste dumps or something?

[Skinner]
