Ever notice how Bush talks about "hard work" but never does any?
Bush on the Gulf States: "It's gonna take hard work."

I googled "Bush and hard work" and got 15,900,000 hits. Here is a sampling.

The 'Hard Work' Issue Isn't Taking a Holiday

Now, if you were one of those people who was bugged - or even just plain embarrassed by - Bush's referring to his job as "hard work" fully 11 times during the debates, then chances are that you're a member of the working class, not the risking class.

Hard work, or hardly working?

Bush working hard on his debate style

It’s Hard Work; In that phrase, Bush encapsulated for the American people precisely the problem with his governance: he is in over his head. Way over his head.

It's hard work - Bush runs and hides from Katrina

Never one to let catastrophic events or death get in the way of a good photo op, particularly with his two favorite props, soldiers and the elderly, President Bush "stays the course" and boldly goes to Arizona and California. First, he smites the enemies of freedom while getting his party on with birthday boy John McCain:



Meanwhile, in New Orleans:

1. Wait, he cuts a whole lot of brush at his ranch
Edited on Mon Sep-05-05 02:49 PM by RazzleCat
Maybe he can come out to my house and do it. I was just outside doing the yard work and hit a bee's nest, got swarmed. Now hiding inside waiting for the critters to calm down prior to venturing out again. God I would laugh so hard if he got swarmed while out cutting the brush.

8. True, but give those who are repulsed by Bush to the point of illness
and so never watch or listen to him a chance to respond.

5. He also claims to "understand" all sorts of things
But never betrays an iota of intelligence that would make you think he "understands" anything.

7. Well, It is hard work.
Talking your way around all of that work that need to be done. Sometimes it is much easier to go over the mountain than it is to go around it. This is one of those times.

9. How not to prepare for a hurricane
President Bush vacationed while hurricane Katrina ruined homes and lives. This behavior is par for the president's course.

In 2001, the Federal Emergency Management Agency ranked a major hurricane strike on New Orleans as "among the three likeliest, most catastrophic disasters facing this country," directly behind a terrorist strike on New York City.

Yesterday, disaster struck.

One of the strongest storms in recorded history rocked the Gulf Coast, bringing 145 mph winds and floods of up to 20 feet. One million residents were evacuated; at least 65 are confirmed dead. Tens of thousands of homes were completely submerged.

Mississippi's governor reported "catastrophic damage on all levels." Downtown New Orleans buildings were "imploding," a fire chief said. Oil surged past $70 a barrel. New Orleanians were grimly asking each other, "So, where did you used to live?"

While it happened, President Bush decided to … continue his vacation, stopping by the Pueblo El Mirage RV and Golf Resort in El Mirage, Arizona, to hawk his Medicare drug benefit plan.

On Sunday, President Bush said, "I want to thank all the folks at the federal level and the state level and the local level who have taken this storm seriously." He's not one of them. Below, we present "How Not to Prepare for a Massive Hurricane," by President Bush, congressional conservatives, and their corporate special interest allies.
