No time for blame.....my ass!
I keep hearing that there will be a time for blame and responsibility later. That now is the time for rescue and healing.
Bullshit!
I believe we can multitask. I believe we can pick people off of roofs and get them out of the city and blame that worthless piece of shit Bush for not doing anything about it for 5 days.
It's time for a realistic comparison. Sadaam Hussein gassed and killed his own people. He willingly did it or let it happen and held noone responsible.
George Bush willingly let the people of New Orleans die and did nothing about it. He was on vacation......he was working on it.....he was at a fundraiser. He let those people die and he is morally and criminally responsible. He could have gone and sat in the middle of the city and gotten the entire world to move to get those people out. But he didn't. He could have sat on that levee on MONDAY (Not Tuesday as he wrongly stated yesterday) and gotten that repaired so that at least half of the city wouldn't have flooded.


Now is the time to blame because if we don't then this will happen again and he will kill more people. Anyone who does not demand this should be ashamed of themselves and try and tell the people of New Orleans that they just wanted to wait.

1. everyone I've talked with
is saying, "What if this had been a terrorist incident-and what if it had happened HERE?"

I think that's how a majority of people are thinking at this point, and I think they know where to place the blame.

7. Not necessarily
My boss, who is a big guy (ex high school football player), came in the other day with tears in his eyes, and ordered me to cut a company check for the Red Cross. He then told me how much he hates Bush, and he was shaking with anger! He's nearly gotten into a fight with a 'puke about Bush-and this was a couple of weeks ago because of the lousy economy. The only reason he doesn't want Bush impeached is because we'd have "that ____ Cheney in as president".

This is a guy who only listens to sports on the radio, and who, in the past, has told me with pride that he doesn't listen to news, doesn't follow politics that much.

2. The people who say "no time to blame"
are generally the ones that have totally screwed things up to begin with.


The chimperor has no clothes....
we don't even need to point that out.
He's toast.

6. Gee, I'll have to try that at work sometime
The next time a disaster happens (our network goes down) and I sit on my hands for four days doing nothing, I should tell my employer "it's no time for blame."

Think it will keep me from getting fired?

Think it's time Bush's sorry ass gets fired?

8. message from the Netherlands
:hi: I have a very good friend that lives in the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and he wrote this to me:


<< /I knew that ....
In 1987 i was there and then they knew it too.
Heads in the sand because noone wants to pay.
No its better to make war in iraq.

And now even you only supertamker terminal from the US is closed.
And stays for mnds or mayby half a year.

I learned always to have backup for critical situations.
Second computer elsewhere data copy's etc.

But it is sad for the ones haveing no money nothing to eat and the politics made the troops go after the ones getting free meals that would be runned over by water anyway and stopped looking survivors.
Thats the US for a dollar in jail , good that they are under water too now.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! >>

11. Of course they want to delay the blame assigning......because they
are the assignees. They need time to develop a spin message that offloads the blame and fuzzy up the truth. The actions are crystal clear in the eyes of all Americans today. They want to put off investigations for year, just like 9/11, when most Americans have moved on to other things.

12. How long before they decide it was the Big Dog's fault?
I give Rush about another two days before he finds a way to blame Bill or Hillary.

13. When George Washington was...
fighting the Revolutionary war, the Continental Congress and a whole host of citizens wanted his ass fired because he wasn't winning fast enough. At Valley Forge, they wouldn't even give him money to pay or feed his raggedy army. He had to borrow money from Philadelphia businessmen to pay the army to re-enlist.

Lincoln was under fire all during the Civil War.

FDR constantly took incredibly vicious criticism and sniping from Congress and the Republican partisan press during the Depression and WWII.

Truman took his lashings during Korea.

And someone says we can't criticise the Shrub? The Shrub who couldn't stand in the shadow of any of these great men?

The Shrub who has failed absolutely at everything he has done, or tried to do?

The Shrub who got us into this mess by seeing war as the answer to everything and ignoring the warnings?

With around two hundred million able-bodied adults in this country, one hundred million can work on fixing things and the other hundred million can concentrate on blaming Shrub and his buddies. Shouldn't be a problem.
