Did the WH Put Up This Display for the Bush/Firemen Photo-Op? --pix->>>

[Stephanie]

I somehow doubt the NYC firemen, or the LA hurricane survivors, took the time out from disaster relief to create this memorial display. Did George Bush bring it with him? It wouldn't be the first time the WH pulled this trick. Scott Sforza is the WH staffer who designs all those back-drops for Bush's photo-ops. Did he do this one?

1. it has to

they did not take the time to craete it

Mission accomplished part two... next he will blame the fire fighters

[Stephanie]

2. Yep. They will say the firefighters did it.

But they will remain nameless.

[coyote]

3. notice how the SS really stands out....

how appropriate

[Stephanie]

4. really creepy

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. did not notice

until now, is bush trying to tell us something about grandpa?

[Stephanie]

6. If he carted in his own backdrop for this meeting with the firemen -

it is absolutely disgusting. And if the Bush WH PR team deliberately displayed that kind of imagery in New Orleans in the midst of this racial crisis it is horrifying.

7. my questrion is, are they even consicous of it

and does george have a nice little body art anywhere with the words AH on it (tatoo). Those boys wear that with pride.

[Richard Steele]

22. First thing I noticed. Now, where have I seen that before?

Oh yeh, now I remember:

[glugglug]

8. What's with the shadows?

The shadows on the sign appear as if 2 people are standing very close in front of the sign, yet somehow are not in the picture.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. subliminal messaging again

[mogster]

9. Hiya, Stef

Good to see you again :-)
I wondered where you was.

[Stephanie]

10. Hiya mog

Was away - just got back. :hi:

[mogster]

11. I guessed as much

Just me being paranoid :P

Good to see you back, hope you had a nice travel! :-)

[fooj]

13. Hi Mogster!

Talked with Merh tonight. She's hanging in. It has been one hell of a ride!

FYI!!!:hi:

Peace.

[mogster]

20. Thanks, fooj!

I have PM'ed with her, just barely :-)

She has a lot to do, no? I hope she will ask for help if she's in need of anything. Poor gal, house gone and everything.

Peace :-)

14. George "photo op" Bush.

Nuff' said.

[FreedomAngel82]

17. Whenever it comes to the public

Remember everything these people do is for PR.

[soup]

15. Is this just insane,

or am I?

Go to the site of a current disaster to commemorate another? a trip down memory lane of his failures? something to be proud of?

Why didn't he go to the 'freedom march'? Rummy didn't invite him?

--

by the way, can anyone decipher what the plaque at the bottom of the display (down by the gift wrapping or whatever that is) says?

[FreedomAngel82]

16. The cross on it should tell you hon

There were many people of different faiths that died that day I'm sure. And people who had no faith. I find that disgusting. Does that mean that they're only going to remember those who were Christians who died that day? :mad: I get so tired of this and I'm a Christian myself!

18. CNN had them fighting fires too

I wrote on this a couple days ago, I think it's immoral to put these guys through another hell for a Bush photo-op and propaganda...

“...the FDNY dispatched to the Gulf Coast is shown on CNN putting out fires in New Orleans while 1,400 other firefighters from around the country are handing out fliers?

They've got people here who are search-and-rescue certified, paramedics, haz-mat certified," said a Texas firefighter. "We're sitting in here having a sexual-harassment class while there are still in Louisiana who haven't been contacted yet…

Roy Fire Chief Jon Ritchie said his crews would be a "little frustrated" if they were assigned to hand out phone numbers at an evacuee center in Texas rather than find and treat victims of the disaster.

Also of concern to some of the firefighters is the cost borne by their municipalities in the wake of their absence. Cities are picking up the tab to fill the firefighters' vacancies while they work 30 days for the federal government. "

What is the reason the initial FDNY request of 3 Chiefs and one SAR Team sent to Biloxi was suddenly transformed to several hundred sent to New Orleans on Monday? Emotionally, don’t you think the FDNY has been through enough and really shouldn’t be dumped into another disaster unnecessarily? What of the hundreds of firefighters who have been” lounging at an Atlanta airport hotel for days while they await orders..."

19. Props, you always need props for photo ops. n/t

[Stephanie]

21. If the Bush WH took the time and effort to create a phony memorial display

and lug it down to NOLA as a backdrop for the photo-op then I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW IT. What a despicable waste of time and resources and exploitation of the NYFD.

[justiceischeap]

23. Notice he's meeting with NY firefighters, not NO firefighters.

Wrong disaster nimrod!

[Imagevision]

24. You would think someone would be more creative- like a bad commercial

I prefer Bush doing flyover from the couch, that was real...!
