MSNBC showing Bush live in Mobile AL with lying zombie fuckhead Chertoff

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Bush has his arms tightly folded across his chest (classic "I don;t want to hear what you are saying" body language), has his head down in the "thoughtful" position, is nodding up and down as he's being "briefed" in what looks like a very safe building.

HOPE IS ON THE WAY!

Oh, WAIT...that was John Kerry, the OTHER president who said that.

Never mind

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Are there people stranded in Alabama? What's he doing there?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

7. "Ground Zero," give or take a few hundred miles...

...he headed right for the center of the action.

:sarcasm:

[trof]

12. Foley is now refugee center.

We have hundreds here from MS & LA.
Trying to feed them.
And we're out of gas.
Schools closed because the busses can't run.

[Chico Man]

2. Are they wearing suits and ties?

How expensive are they?

[monobrau]

3. This is fake bullshit

Who the hell do they think they're fooling with this shit?

[Vickers]

4. Wait a second...he's got his SLEEVES rolled up! That must mean

there's some fucking BRUSH to clear down there in Mobile! :rofl:

[Teaser]

5. Or he's shooting up.

my guess.

[FormerRepublican]

6. Obvious Der Fuehrer cares NOTHING about Louisiana...

...since his little press fest has NO representation from Louisiana at all.

Puke. :puke: :puke:

8. A few details from Fox:

In Mobile, Ala., the president was to get a briefing on the damage, followed by a helicopter survey of areas along the Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana coasts. He was to walk through hard-hit neighborhoods in Biloxi, Miss.

Bush hoped that his tour of the hurricane-ravaged states would boost the spirits of increasingly desperate storm victims and their tired rescuers, and his visit was aimed at tamping down the ever-angrier criticism that he has engineered a too-little, too-late response.

"There's a lot of aid surging toward those who've been affected. Millions of gallons of water. Millions of tons of food. We're making progress about pulling people out of the Superdome," the president said.

For the first time, however, he stopped defending his administration's response and criticized it. "A lot of people are working hard to help those who've been affected. The results are not acceptable," he said. "I'm heading down there right now."

9. A briefing live on TV??????????? What a farce.

Bush wishes he were anywhere but there.

[trof]

10. And Karl Rove is with him.

Can't go ANYWHERE without your main POLITICAL advisor.
But let's not politicize this.
Oh, no.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

11. He just went into full smirk 'n' swagger mode

"This is the federal gummint's job, an' we're gonna DO IT! If it's not right, we're gonna make it right!"

I wonder what else Rove is whispering into the earpiece...

13. "Now's the time to love a neighbor like you'd like to be loved yourself"

He's only a few steps away from talking about the shining city on the hill...

:evilgrin:

14. CNN responds

Says this is not what the people want. They want help NOW, not some political photo opp and a briefing that the President could have gotten on the phone in the White House.

Good on CNN for that response. But I still don't like you CNN, you're still corporate whores. But thanks for that critical response of the Presidents photo opp.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

15. As long as we label it a photo op, it's a start...

MSNBC needs to do a few "man on the street" interviews with the people who are stranded and scared...ask THEM if they feel better after Bush showed up in Mobile.

16. if you wrote a fictional story about this no editor would accept it.

i have watched this for several days. bush looks like he did at that school on the morning of 9/11. he is stunned, and now even 5 days from the epicenter of this disaster he looks like a deer caught in the headlights of a car.

there is no compassion in his eyes, all this is to him is a distant problem that causes him discomfort from his play time as president.

my close friend just got in touch with me this morning, he called collect from near his destroyed property. i have been trying to contact him for 6 days now through his family living elsewhere. he lived 1/2 mile to the east of lake pounchetrain, there is nothing left of his property, nothing. he said nothing is being done. the government has done almost nothing to help and what they have done is coming so slowly, in such little amounts that it is like a warzone.

he said bush had better not come down there because people will tear him apart with their bare hands. this guy is a yuppie republican who always supported republicans because he is a businessman who owned a business in NO. it is all gone, his life's work, all his money. everything except, thank god his family is okay, but his remarks stunned me this morning. he sounded like he wanted to kill every politician he could get his hands on. he said fuck bush fuck the republicans. he knew that bush cut funding for the levees and holds him personaly responsible.

bush had better watch out down there, because when folks like him, who is about the most steady and stable person i know get radicalized i can just imagine what other people might do.

17. My condolences to your friend

The horror of a city being devastated by nature makes us realize how little we really control. This is the case along the Gulf.

But, that people like your friend see their city devastated WHEN IT COULD HAVE been saved it and they know that the political reasons for cutting the funding were to give money to people to rich to even spend the money they have, the anger must be beyond words. The heart felt anger you describe is scary and the city will never be the same.
