A PR Blitzkrieg....

[kentuck]

Bush will keep going back to New Orleans until his polls go up. They are on a mission. Blame the liberals. Get back on the offensive. Get Rush and Hannity in high gear. Get the people back on their side. Will it work?

3. I've said it before, I'll say it again: Bush can spend billions,

give every survivor 10 milion dollars, but those who died because of his inaction will STILL BE DEAD.

Whether Bush "Accepts Responsibility" or not, the American people hold him responsible for over one thousand dead Americans.

4. It won't work if....

...there is a PR blitzkreig in opposition to it.

Let's cut to the chase, folks. Bush created a mammoth new Federal Agency, the Department of Homeland Security. FEMA is part of it. It was created during a time when its creators feared a "dirty bomb" or a suitcase nuke or a major biological attack on a major US city. It cost hundreds of billions of dollars to create. When created it had the purpose of preventing and promptly RESPONDING to major attacks.

FOX news, Hannity and Rush can (and will) blame the mayor, the governor, and any democrats they find within a thousand miles. They can blame welfare and Clinton and play the blame game however they like. Lots of big cities have crummy mayors, lots of States have crummy governors. DHS should have accounted for this.

The bottom line is that this mammoth agency failed to promptly respond when Americans were in need. The Republicans promised it would respond, and it failed. They promised prompt response and did not deliver.

This is a Bush failure. This is a Republican failure. This is a broken promise.

Blaming the mayor and the governor is an admission of failure.

5. I wonder how long it will be before he visits Rita's devastation in Texas?

At least the residents there will get some federal relief after the Hurricane Rita disaster - unlike after Bush's disastrous term as Governor. :eyes:
