Where's the Duct Tape When You Need It??

My head nearly blew up yesterday watching the news. They showed all these protestors in Washington demanding that President Bush help the Hurricane Victims. Ok dumbasses, he's sending billions and billions of dollars. What SPECIFICALLY would you have him do? And what are YOU doing?? Couldn't your efforts be better placed directly helping the victims yourselves?? Lord forbid they dirty their Birkenstocks.

Ok, so to show that he cares he would have to publically humiliate his mother? I've received word that Marc Brown is being removed from the Hurricane relief project.

So what else exactly would show that he cares? He's been here in Baton Rouge and Lafayette visiting all the shelters. Cheney was here visiting the shelters. Chertoff was here visiting the shelters. Rumsfeld was here visiting the shelters. They were meeting with the victims personally.

There are laws and levels of bureaucracy that prohibit the federal government from intruding on the rights of state. That is why they have to be asked.

Anyway, I don't know where you live and I don't know what you're seeing on your news. The local picture is a lot different than the National picture.

This is absolutely true, and is an easy access 'public information' for those who do not have knowledge of the chain of command which governs our States.

Also, the definition of shameful, would been to have over-looked the effort of those 'hundreds' working 24-7 to save lives in a tragedy 'of massive proportions' just because it is not hitting the mark of a desired result.
Teams of every line of expertise laid their lives on the line, in helicopters, without sleep, and with every bit of fortitude they had.... They deserve all the praise we can give them.

I completely agree, Autumn. My Michael-Moore loving friend (dare I attach myself to her that closely) truely believes that Bush's response to Katrina is grounds for impeachment. It really would be better I suppose if Bush were spend his days handing out water or something instead of sitting in the oval office doing the job we hired him to do. Oh, and PS I LOVE Birkenstocks. They're very comfortable and last forever.
