He will then take an aerial tour of New Orleans.

1. He knows he wouldn't last ten minutes on the ground (or |
|
actually, on the water) in New Orleans.
Chicken is as chicken does, and chicken to the last.

2. The white frat boy might find himself on the wrong end of a lynching. |
|
His long-distance compassion and aerial presence will be so comforting!

I'm sure his own cowardice is a huge part of why he's not going, but I absolutely don't blame the Secret Service for undoubtedly saying, "he wouldn't make it out." These people are outraged. I don't blame them for being so and I don't wish Bush harm, but that's what would happen.

4. Maybe he'll go to St. Tammany's parish |
|
He only wants to be around people who adore him.
This guy wouldn't meet with one petite woman who lost her son in Iraq. He's too much of a chickenhawk coward to meet with the common folk in New Orleans.

You can bet that if he thought it was safe enough to stand on a raft in New Orleans with a bullhorn, he would.
You know it. You know he would.

It's better that way.
NOLA needs all the law enforcement it has to take care of its citizens, not to protect that dumb piece of shit.

Jesus, it's like fucking Baghdad down there. Gunfire, rapes, looting, violence...
Plus, we can't possibly have a totally scripted, invitation-only crowd if our great leader decided to actually grow a fucking heart. We can't have our fearless savior looking like the piece of shit he is now can we?

16. There's no 5-Star Hotel to house his 100-Plus Entourage |
|
Even if he comes with his smaller battalion of WH gladiators, he won't go to the ground in NO becuase he might not be allowed to leave.

20. Imo, this is a bad time for him to tour the areas. |
|
One of his aids should realize that there are people still stranded either on their roof tops or on the road and the last person they probably want to see is President Pretzelhead.

are solidly red, and Louisiana, particularly NO is blue. Makes sense to me, who would he do the photo op with? Landrieu? Blanco? the mayor of NO? I don't think so.

25. I've taken to calling that piss poor excuse for a human being |
|
exactly what he is: the sniveling, yellow coward.
He's just running true to course. I noticed in your original post Lynne you mentioned the fact that he will "be on the ground briefly in Mississippi".
Who wants to bet that arsehole Haley Barbour has the photo-op set up already?
I can only hope that the people responsible for this unbelievable clusterf*ck, will be made to pay and pay dearly.

26. Good - no public official should step into the area unless it's relevant |
|
Sorry, a visit by ANY president in a time like this will not only be a security nightmare, it will force officials to divert resources from rescue and relief efforts, causing massive disruptions.
The president doesn't need to have a photo-op right now. And I'd say that if Kerry or Gore or Clinton were president too.
Now, perhaps he should visit shelters for evacuees, but no seeing the city until relief and rescue efforts are over and people are cleared out.

32. Here's an interesting paragraph, because of who it doesn't mention. |
|
"During his news briefing, Mr. McClellan said the president met today with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld; Gen. Richard B. Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, and Alan Greenspan, the chairman of the Federal Reserve. Mr. McClellan said the luncheon with Mr. Greenspan focused on effects of the disaster on the overall economy."
No Cheney? Maybe the rumors are true. Why else would the president miss this meeting, and send Bush in his place?

I guess he need's a photo op inside a helicopter while he looking down on desperate people of NO. What a guy. At least drop some food down if you're flying over.

35. He probably doesn't want to have to have ANY interaction with the |
|
Democratic governor of LA and mayor of NO. He CERTAINLY doesn't want to be within 10 miles of any of the poor black people starving and dehydrating to death.
