It's all about gasoline.

[progmom]

Bush has a press conference about the relief efforts. And it's all about gasoline.

This is America.

Words cannot express my disgust.

1. *sigh*

I whined about this the other day...

People are only involved in relief as long as it's relief
of *their* pocketbook.

2. I feel a rage that I have never felt before in my life.

I can see how some could wantonly kill others in another part of the world (not understand, but see how they justify) but how does one not even give a shit about your own country's people, that you were sworn to support?

3. And sadness.

8. He just doesn't give a shit

Your people, their people, any people. Whatever. They're not his people. I'm not even sure if he truly cares about anybody - even the rich who make up his base. He is a heartless sociopath who wears his faux religiosity much as a wolf might wear sheeps' clothing. He is a child of privilege; he knows not what it is like to work for one's bread, having been always the useful tool of those with malign intent. Maybe he knows that; if so, he cares not a whit. He is a curse on you, on me, on all of us.

10. He's trying to salvage his only followers he has left

He knows that the gas prices are what's on their minds.

11. I feel like I'd like to smash something

But it wouldn't do any good. :cry:
