Baltimore Sun ..... In the aftermath of Katrina, a call for * to go.
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bal-op.administration08sep08,1,1222575.story?coll=bal-oped-headlines

< When President Bush stays on vacation and attends social functions for two days in the face of disaster before finally understanding that people are starving, crying out and dying, it is time for him to go.>

<We have a president who is apparently ill-informed, lackadaisical and narrow-minded, surrounded by oil baron cronies, religious fundamentalist crazies and right-wing extremists and ideologues. He has appointed officials who give incompetence new meaning, who replace the positive role of government with expensive baloney.>

Watch out for a massive repug/bush propaganda blitz to shift the blame onto
the state and local officials ...... all the while stating in public "this is not a time for
the blame game."

9. and he is not just a "concerned citizen" -- he served the government under
Clinton dealing with national security:

Gordon Adams, director of security policy studies at the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University, was senior White House budget official for national security in the Clinton administration.
