MSNBC: Lack of Immediate Leadership from Bush
reporter from Newsweek talking about he saw. Bush doesn't seem to have to the ability to think fast on his feet within the first 36-48 hours of a disaster.

Says Third World countries ahve better responses to disasters. Also talked about how one man, a River Taxi worker who was only rescuing white people.

3. In my view these words are not sufficiently harsh
It's time to bring out the big words, in the MSM. Moron. Impeach. Incompetent. Uncaring. Impeach.

4. He has to wait for Rove to get up the script
and all the props in place.
For crying out loud do you want our president to look unpresidental?

6. A River Taxi worker who was only rescuing white people....
That's sad. And just more proof that racism is very alive and well in this nation and contributed, in some respect, to the disgraceful relief effort.

8. TOTAL LACK OF LEADERSHIP! Look not only at his response to Katrina, which
is CRIMINAL, but how about :

1. His attention to warnings regarding 9/11 FAILURE
2. His lack of a continency plan for Iraq FAILURE
3. His tax cuts which have lead to a huge deficit. FAILURE
4. His policies have lead to an erosion of diplomatic good will. FAILURE
5. His environmental policies have contributed to global warning. FAILURE
6. His energy policies has lead to high prices and shortages. FAILURE
7. His economic policies has contributed to increasing poverty. FAILURE
8. His policies have contributed to racial/socieconomic tension. FAILURE
9. The infrastructure of the country is decaying rapidly. FAILURE

etc etc. Can anyone here name one single positive thing this failure of a man has done to better this country?
