tso-d_chris 0 #26 September 7, 2005 Quote I'm not appalled by him playing guitar at a party. I'm much more appalled at people's desire to use this situation as an opportunity to polarize us against one another. These kinds of criticisms are much more harmful than the president playing a guitar.... From what I can tell, except for a vocal minority which is blindly supporting the President, this situation has unified the country quite well, not divided it.

Well, as an outsider, I'd have liked him to show some leadership and he (and his like) showed precious little of that. A few Photo Ops do not a leader make! . (.)Y(.)

tso-d_chris 0 #29 September 7, 2005 QuoteIt wasn't his job till the Governor asked for help. Are you suggesting he ignore the governor and take over the state regardless of her position? Why not go ahead and help the state that had already asked for help? When LA did ask for help, why not give enough to actually do a bit of good? Why wait so long after help was asked for to do anything? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markd_nscr986 0 #30 September 7, 2005 Wow......... How f**king un-original............ a photo-shopped GWB bashing thread............. We have quite a bit of talent around here........ We could photo shop Mayor Nagin(who delayed calling the feds until too late and who couldnt implement the NOLA evacuation plan) and Governor Blanco(who also delayed in requesting Fed help until too late) in a less than flattering pose.........of course it would be total bullshit,but that didnt seem to slow you down But that's something most Kerry fascists will gloss over anyway Cant let the facts get in the way of a good bash now, can we?Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gemini 0 #31 September 7, 2005 Quote...and he (and his like).... Interesting comment. Really clarifies every problem we are having today. It's definitely "their" fault because "they" don't understand us, or the situation, and have lost touch with us "the common men." How can they do anything else, but weep and wring "their" hands at the misery and sorrow that has been heaped upon us. If "they" even smile we should be offended! We should do away with his like.

gemini 0 #32 September 7, 2005 QuoteWhy wait so long after help was asked for to do anything? Exactly how long did the feds wait before doing anything? When did the governor finally ask for help? The day of the storm? The day of the flooding? 24 hrs after being pushed by the Pres? Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see any reason why he couldn't take control of a situation in his own country. If he's a strong leader (and he got re-elected on that idea, what a joke), he would NOT have waited for an incompetent governor's decision on a disaster of this scale.
