If I knew at 08:31 AM on Aug 29, 2005 that the levees were going to breach

then how the hell can anyone claim that Bush & his gang of thugs didn't know?

So did Bush return to the White House last night?

Of course not.

By this afternoon millions of Americans are going to have their homes flooded and will have no power. It may take weeks to get the power back to people in many areas. Most people, Bush included, have no idea how much life after a hurricane sucks.

However, Bush is the President. He is our elected leader. It is his job to oversee and coordinate the response to this disaster.

Yet, where is he? Still on vacation? Can't be bothered to do more then a couple of short photo-ops? Terri Schiavo was important enough for Bush to fly back to DC in the middle of the night, but apparently Hurricane Katrina is not.

Once again Bush is AWOL. Once again Bush is guilty of dereliction of duty. Many lives are a stake right now because of his incompetence. If Bush is unable to perform the duties of his office then it is time for him to resign because America desperately needs a leader right now.

I'm not a weatherman. Nor do I have the resources and access to information that the WH and HS/FEMA are supposed to have, in order to know what's going on during a disaster. Yet at 8:31 AM, I knew and so did many of the rest of us on DU that morning, that New Orleans was going to flood, while at the same time our supposed leaders were no where to be found. The only difference between now and then is that now I know their dereliction of duty was deliberate and that they wanted to see New Orleans destroyed.

They have spent so much money on Iraq, the well is dry for poor folks.

FEMA just paid $$$$$$MILLIONS to folks living in $$$$ houses in Laguna Beach, CA.
