yea, cause there's been so many terrorist attacks in the US since 9-11.

 

 

Yeah and dont forget about the Bush Weather stopping machine which can halt hurricanes in their tracks.

Please tell me you aren't defending Bush's response to Katrina. You can't be serious. The federal government completely screwed the pooch on that one, and Bush was at the helm. FEMA's fault you say? Oh that's right, Bush put "Brownie" at the head of that agency as a favor job, despite the fact that he hadn't ever been within 50 yards of an emergency. Brilliant.

Nuke, the government (local, state, and national) did a terrible job in responding. To suggest that the only way to improve was to stop the hurricane in the first place, is comical. The government should have done a better job, and Presidents are always there to take the credit, they should have to shoulder the blame.

 

Compare 9/11 to the hurricane. Bush wrapped himself in the response to 9/11 for his re-election. How can he duck New Orleans with a straight face? I thought Bush was absolutely at his best during 9/11 and at ground zero, while some of it was, of course, scripted, I believe it was sincere and fully captured the man. I thought New Orleans would be another shining moment for him and would have carried him through this term. Sadly, he was waaaaay off his game and everything fell behind him.

I agree with you on all points there. The cartoon thingy said "protect us from hurricanes". I took that literally.

I forgot about the cartoon.

 

I am still puzzled by Bush's response. I believe he was getting some bad info, and from someone closer to him than Brown. This was a perfect opportunity for him to cheerlead, be tough while being compassionate, a little witnessing to a largly receptive Christian audience, and in general, be bigger than life. Believe it or not, I want our country to do well, no matter who is in power, and I was cheering for my fellow Texan.
