Burt Bacharach: "Bush had adequate warning of Katrina...worst Prez ever."

[Bluebear]

Singer/songwriter BURT BACHARACH has attacked US President GEORGE W BUSH for his handling of the Hurricane Katrina rescue operation.

The WALK ON BY star insists America had adequate warning of the horrific disaster which rocked Louisiana and left New Orleans submerged, and yet Bush continued to fund the war against terror instead of protecting his people.

Bacharach, 77, recalls reading newspaper articles months before the hurricane, warning "that (New Orleans) would be engulfed, that people would drown, that bodies would be floating down the road.

"Instead of pushing the funding up, they took most of it away to fight this stupid war, and that's unforgivable.

"I think Bush is just about the poorest president we've ever had. You'd have to go back before I was born to find a worse one."

Good for Bacharach!

Using his name recognition to tell the truth -- what a concept!

14. Why Is EVERY observation about Bush an attack?

nt

[Bluebear]

15. Can you be more specific? nt

[Roy]

23. Sure...

Anytime anyone mentions anything about he or his policies, the media and his other friends immediately calls it an attack.

Burt Bacharach" Bush had adequate warning of Katrina, worst president ever"

That's an observation followed by an opinion. Yet, they call it an attack.

Even when some quote him verbatim, and offers a different view. It's still called an attack.

it seems The media wants to always portray him as an underdog even when he has a congress that denies no request for funding or anything else, federal law enforcement agencies and commissions that whitewash every deed, and an unprecendented court packing operation in progress.

But still they portray every word spoken of him as an attack.

[Bluebear]

24. Gotcha and agree. nt

[Betty]

16. look at EVERY thing he does...

is there any thing to praise?

[Bluebear]

17. Not a durn thing far as I can see!

:hi:

[mwb970]

21. I used to ask my RW friend whether Clinton ever did anything good.

He always said "no", which seemed ridiculous to me (and still does). And yet, I would answer exactly that way about the awful "president" we are saddled with now. He seems totally worthless to me.

18. Correction, you'd have to go back before friggin George Washington

to find a poorer prezteldent.

[pitohui]
