Shame, Shame, Shame!

Bush is such a loser.  LOSER!  Like Marie Antoinette, Bush ate cake while New Orleans got desperate. When he was interviewed by Diane Sawyer Thursday morning, he kept grinning as he said that he and the government was doing everything it could.  Then he lied.  HE LIED!  "No one anticipated a break in the levee."  BULLSHIT!  Everyone expected the levee to break. 

To be such a man's man, a leader of men, Bush sure does whine a lot about it not being his fault.  Doesn't matter what it is, it's always "not my fault."  Even though he and his administration were warned that Al Qaeda was planning a major operation involving the hijacking of planes, tax cuts were considered a higher priority than national security.  When it happened, they all ran out in front of the cameras and blamed Clinton.  Just wait.  They'll try to blame Clinton for not repairing the levees.  That's their theme:  Clinton did it, or should have done it.

For the past five years the GOPers have been directly attacking the ability of the government to be effective.  Party hacks have been appointed to run agencies such as FEMA.  Homeland Security, what a fucking joke.  Our ports aren't secure, our cities aren't secure, our transportation systems aren't secure.  What kind of government thinks the best way to evacuate a city is for everyone to calmly get into their cars and drive off following the evacuation signs to their nearest relative out of the impact area.  Tell it to the poor.

I watched ABC News this morning.  Each reporter getting air time blamed Bush and his government for failing to respond to the rapidly deteriorating crisis in New Orleans.  They demonstrated his lies by giving facts that contradicted him.  They should have been as aggressive following 9/11.  They should have been as aggressive during the campaign.  They should have been this aggressive in reporting the war in Iraq. 

Let this be a wake-up call to all Americans.  The Republicans have stripped the federal government of its real ability to respond to a real crisis, natural or man-made.  Your national guard units are in Iraq.  There is no money for relief because your tax dollars are paying BILLIONS to Halliburton to cater the war in Iraq. 

Now Bush is once again going to show how involved he is by flying over the city.  What a fucking loser.

And what about his fat clown, Hastert?  Maybe we should question whether or not we should rebuild New Orleans, but not when a couple of hundred thousand people are trapped in deplorable conditions waiting for some relief.  We get them out first, asshole. 

Can you tell I'm angry?  Yeah, I thought so.  You should be too.  Every American should be angry.  We've been shamed by the federal government's response to this crisis.  Bush is a loser.  The Republican Congress is a bunch of losers.  We need to clean up this mess.

You have all the right to be angry. Angry at them for their arrogance, for their incompetence.

I, as a non-American, am angry. My fellow humen are suffering and this man and his fellow rich bodies are continuing their comfortable lives.

Somebody should tell them, "if you can't do it, let others do it". Canada has offered help. Canadian army is in standby waiting for the green light to go in. Canada has offered everything. Canad's Prime minister has just asked Bush to name what you need, we will send it right away. Bush has responded that America is not ready to accept help. What the hell does he mean? Peaple are dying and this man continues bullshitting. I just can't believe he is in "charge" of a counrty like the US. I just can't believe his lack of sensitivity. No, I can. As a rich and spolied child, he has never suffered starvation.

Whenever I see Bush, I think of that line from that song... "take that look off your face"

Critics of Bush's hurricane relief efforts support terrorists!!! Or something like that.

I can't wait to see what the Right Wing Rhetoric Machine does with this.

I am beyond furious. I am on a slow burn. I am like Andrew Young said, surprised and yet not surprised. I wonder what else he can fuck up in three years?

I am so sick of hearing "now is not the time..." to be second guessing. "Now is not the time to be pointing fingers". Just when would be a good time to point out these people are freaking failures? They are way in over their heads. "Stay the course" is nothing more than Bushspeak for we don't know what the hell we're doing but we're going to keep right on doing it, because we CAN.
I am so glad to see the msm finally coming out of the closet and stating the obvious. Bush is on his way to being a lame duck (not that he wasn't already a lame ass) President. My one biggest hope is that people remain this angry come election time in 06/08.
Can you believe I actually heard one of the reporters make a comment about Bush's constant 'smirk'? Will wonders never cease.

It's just a mess and I sure hope our citizens remember this when elections come around again. But actually I trust the reporters about as much as I do Bush.

Nagin is at fault also.

I am no fan of Bush, but Nagin had the ability to get thousands of people out of there and he dropped the ball, big time.

Now large numbers of the people we are supposed to be saving are destroying what's left of their own city and shooting at those who are trying to help. The hoodlums in New Orleans are drawing much-needed resources away from other affected areas in the Gulf.

It's a cesspool down there right now, but to place all the blame on Bush is short-sighted. New Orleans had the ability to mitigate at least some of their own problems and neglected to do so.

Bush dropped the ball, but he's far from being alone. I am disgusted beyond words at the whole situation.

Now, I'm hoping they can get their act together and start fixing things. It's going to be a long, long road...
