Seriously, couldn't Bush just pick up the phone and get relief supplies...

[Zenlitened]

... delivered to, say, four or five drop-spots in New Orleans just like that?

Isn't he the Commander-in-Chief? Isn't he the bold decisive leader, the "war president" and all the other shit he and his followers prattle on about?

By Tuesday it was obvious to everyone that there were thousands of people grouped together at certain points of the city.

Why the fuck couldn't he just pick up the phone, get a general on the line, and give an order: "Get food and water to points A, B, C and D. Now."

:shrug:

1. Because it's not on his agenda.

[Clintmax]

7. You're absolutely right!

Not on his agenda and he doesn't care about those poeple anyways. Not rich enough.

2. Interrupted His Vacation....What More Do You Want? n/t

[Cleita]

3. Of course he could, but he isn't the person in charge.

We have to get rid of him NOW! Impeach! Arrest! Exile! Just get it done.

[Spazito]

4. Is that before he fund-raised for the repubs in California

or after his photo-op with the guitar? He's a busy man, ya know.

[bluethruandthru]

5. He already told us

He has to get on with his life!

[walldude]

6. Yeah he could have. Now that they

waited till everyone is starving and dehydrated there are going to be food riots when it finally shows up.

8. Excuse me...he's working on his "G" chord...writin a song about

Amurika...hmmm...lemmmeee see...goes somethin' like this...no, let me start over...wait a minit...wait a minit...ahem....wait a minit...

"This land is my land, this land is my land...is it 9 o'clock already?...okay...gotta go hit the sack...

[global1]

9. He's Got A Mandate.....

[FloridaPat]

10. Something wrong with phone. Mayor NO couldn't get through all week.

[Zenlitened]

11. Kicking my own thread because, in light of Bush's statements today...

... it seems entirely relevant.

Where was the "bold decisive leader" up to now?

Bush, you miserable little fuck, nobody is buying your bullshit today. You're a fuck-up, an incompetent little dimwit, and the whole world knows it.

:grr:

[ljm2002]

12. Of course he could...

...he could have done it the very moment the levees broke, or at least when the magnitude of the disaster became apparent.

I hope he gets his just desserts, I really do. That is all I ask, a little justice for the man.

13. Just the cargo/logistics involved in his "travel" ....

... could provide water and food for hundreds. Wherever he goes, he's accompanied by cargo planes carrying Marine One, bulletproof limos, secret service SUVs, and a host of support resources. It's not just Air Farce One!
