[doublethink]

[Hissyspit]

1. He's at the Hotel del Coronado? A Belle Epoque hotel while people are...

drowning and screaming for help from a National Guard that is on the other side of the globe?

I hope this drives his approval ratings to single digits.

[doublethink]

5. I kid you not .. that's where he is ....

and there is a candle light vigil from some of our own out on the beach tonight (peace vigil) in protest of him being here. I had to work late and couldn't make it. But hopefully someone will post pics later tonight or in the morning ... Peace.

[Liberty Belle]

20. Cops said 2,000 anti-war protesters were at the vigil!

Which means more like 2,500, since police always underestimate.

I'll have pics to post tomorrow. It was awesome!

[doublethink]

21. Thanks for the update Liberty Belle !

I look forward to seeing the pictures tomorrow. Great job guys! Keep the pressure on .... :)

6. Wow, you summed it up

He's at the Hotel del Coronado? A Belle Epoque hotel while people are
drowning and screaming for help from a National Guard that is on the other side of the globe?

Umm, yeah.

[Hissyspit]

16. I posted it separately, Steph. Just cause I'm so pissed...

at these pathetic excuses for a federal administration.

2. Is He Planning a Secret Flight

Out to that Aircraft Carrier parked a mile of shore????? To relive one of his greatest moments as president....

[tuvor]

3. bush fiddles. n/t

[caligirl]

4. Remember the movie Some Like It Hot, filmed here. so

whats george up to there?

[doublethink]

7. He's giving another Iraq War Speech tomorrow ....

from the North Island Base. While our world weeps ....

[leftchick]

36. too bad the folks that need to know this

will never know how bush fiddled while they burned.

:grr:

[samplegirl]

8. Sad

Clinton would of been in New Orleans with his sleeves rolled up.

[doublethink]

10. Yea I see that too ...

but you gotta understand Bush has to get on with his life ... :sarcasm: the guy has no soul. :shrug:

[discopants]

9. hey! no fair

the hotel is a beautiful place. don't knock it just because * stays and steals the towels!

[doublethink]

12. I know pretty place, very nice .....

not knocking the Hotel, just the President. There is no emergency, disaster big enough, humanitarian or otherwise to deter his apple cart. Like his pro war activists were chanting in Crawford a week ago "We don't care" .... he has this attitude of 'whatever, life goes on' and I find that pathetic. Peace. :)

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. That was Clinton's favorite Hotel. He made the owner Larry

Lawrence Ambassador to Switzerland. a later tried to bury him at Arlington.

[MisterP]

13. Laura's hopped up again

[joanne]

14. I cant think of anything more inappropriate right now

Didnt think even the Shrub could sink this low.

Obviously overestimated. :puke:

[MisterP]

15. FIRST he traipsed about in El MIRAGE, giving a minute to Katrina

and spending the other ninety trying to get seniors to give dough to his Wall Street friends: then he plays Marilyn Monroe at the evening in the degenerate urban West Coast
Is he on vacation, or just slumming in his "job"

[samplegirl]

17. Now now

he needs a lush quiet place to do all that reading
media claims he would be doing on vacation.

[MisterP]

19. he's in SAN DIEGO--we almost planned to go there tomorrow!

[lonestarnot]

26. He's got to make his air pollution contribution you know!

22. She's got to play her role!

[marysdance]

24. Stepford Wife

I am interested to see someone else is wondering about Laura. Surely there is something very wrong with her. Perhaps she really has had surgical "enhancements" to her brain. Nothing would surprise me.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. He's out whoring for republican blood money

funds that SHOULD be being raised for the poor people of LA, Miss and Alabama..

[LibDemAlways]

23. It's just goddamned inappropriate and unseemly for

the moron to be relaxing at a posh seaside resort while those on the Gulf Coast are suffering through a terrible ordeal. What's unbelievable is that apparently none of his handlers recognize that fundraising and visiting the Coronado military base for a photo op isn't the best possible use of his time right now - especially since he's already been "on vacation" for an entire month. The arrogance and stupidity is truly beyond the pale.

[marysdance]

25. Who Wants Him There Anyway?

I know we all look to our fearless leader for fearless leadership when scary things happen...but what could he do right now anyway? His presence there would just make things worse...my opinion, of course. The people who live on the coast know that hurricanes come regularly and the continue to choose to live there. Last I saw...there were people being interviewed who were saying, why evacuate for a storm that may never come?

I'm thinking specifically about GulfPort...My brother and his wife live there...and evacuated to her place of business in GulfPort. She is a physician and I suppose she will be involved with all of the medical problems this disaster will cause.

She and my brother are staunch republicans, Bush supporters and ex-military people. They live a very high life-style...and they have lots of friends who are also there enjoying the good life. Her business there is all about the rich and famous... I gather from them that there are a whole lot of folks just like them who perhaps need to experience first hand what it is to just loose everything.

Ultimately, they probably will just do very well with insurance and tax sheltering... but MAYBE they will get close enough to real human suffering that inspires NO REAL RESPONSE from the uncaring, inhumane administration they voted into place to see what some of the others of us are talking about.

Everything happens for a reason.... These guys, the shrub folks, are all giving us a very strong dose of what it is we don't want. When the dosage gets high enough...I believe it will catalyze deep and lasting change. We need to keep pushing...

Perhaps we could use the photos we are seeing of the damage and devastation as visuals for how we would like to see the bush administration......no structure left standing....

Somebody please stop me, I feel a rant coming on!

Peace

[doublethink]

28. I commend your post ...... everything except .....

the first paragraph. ...."but what could he do right now anyway?" ..... well he could mobilize what Military we have left in this Country to get down to the catastrophe and save some lives for one thing. He's the fricking President of the USA for God's sake. "His presence there would just make things worse..." Nobody's asking him to personally go down there. We're asking him to act Presidential (DO SOMETHING) when fellow American Citizens are fighting for their lives by the moment. "The people who live on the coast know that hurricanes come regularly and the continue to choose to live there." .... What does that have to do with anything NOW? This type of argument perturbs me more than anything. Oh well someone walked out into the street and got hit by a car, why should I help them? It's their fault. :wtf: kinda compassion is in that? The rest of your argument makes some sense in the fact that "Unless something directly affects Republicans personally, they don't give a shit" How true a statement that is turning out to be. Peace.

32. Welcome newbie!

Sadly, some people think Bush deserves to be on vaction since his job is so hard.

[cascadiance]

27. I remember when Conyers cancelled his appearance here in San Diego...

I was unhappy not being able to see him then, but I was happier that he had a good sense of priorities to tend to other more pressing business where he was needed. Now THERE's a man with a sense of priorities!

Why can't Bush's sheeple understand the same thing. Why can't Bush feel like they should be able to understand the same thing! That bum should be doing his f'in' job, not preaching to his choir out here! Gawd it will take a long time to get the world to respect us again!

If we expect an ounce of aid from any other country to help us with this disaster, shouldn't we at least be showing that we've got primary concerns about it ourselves? This will buy you a lot of support Dubya! Still remember when he was slow responding to the tsunami aid efforts too! That jerkoff's on a different planet!

[doublethink]

29. Absolutely .......

Pathetic ..... what a contrast. Like there is something missing in his soul, maybe him and his base just lack one. No sense of urgency, no sense of compassion, responsibility, I could go on and on. Peace.

[fishwax]

30. what a heartless prick

god I can't stand that man :puke:

[Booster]

31. And there is another thread going on DU that suggests that Cindy

should close down Camp Casey out of respect for the devastation? My God, we surely are a screwed up country. I think Bush should cut his vacation short out of respect, but that ain't gonna happen.

[doublethink]

33. Cindy should stay on his ass ......

just as she is doing. He needs to get off his Ass, take the bull by the horns and tackle this catastrophe taking place. But he won't. Some commander in chief huh? .. Peace.

[Booster]

34. Absolutely the worst president ever.

[doublethink]

35. His non-reaction to this catastrophe says it all. n/t.

[billkurtmeyer]

37. This tells me that he stayed a a 5 star Hotel but does nothing to confirm

that he attended a fundraiser!?
