It meansa lot since politics are all about image. It doesn't look good for the man who is supposeed to be the leader to be having a party while a major city is in peril. People are already criticizing him for not doing what was needed in the first place. He could ast least have a frown on his face while he's strumming chords, maybe even shed a tear. If someone I was supposed to be protecting is in a car accident and needs help then you better believe I will not be at the nearest bonfire and sing folk songs.

let's see, not only does the liberal half of America agree with me on this one, but we're seeing an unprecedented number of ring wing commentators say Bush's response to this disaster was fucked up at best. This isn't liberals trashing the president. The National Review Editor and the Washington Times both blasted Bush for being a fuck up. Jonah Goldberg implied the republican leadership is incompetent, and said outright that the republican leaders are hypocrites.
Time to crack heads

TODAY'S EDITORIAL
September 2, 2005

Troops are finally moving into New Orleans in realistic numbers, and it's past time. What took the government so long? The thin veneer separating civilization and chaos, which we earlier worried might collapse in the absence of swift action, has collapsed.

. . . We expected to see, many hours ago, the president we saw standing atop the ruin of the World Trade Center, rallying a dazed country to action. We're pleased he finally caught a ride home from his vacation, but he risks losing the one trait his critics have never dented: His ability to lead, and be seen leading. He returns to the scene of the horror today, and that's all to the good. His presence will rally broken spirits. But he must crack heads, if bureaucratic heads need cracking, to get the food, water and medicine to the people crying for help in New Orleans and on the Mississippi coast. The list of things he has promised is a good list, but there is no time to dally, whether by land, sea or air. We should have delivered them yesterday. Americans are dying.

----

This is from the Washington Times, the most read conservative newspaper in America. The National Review is the most read conservative magazine in America. Both said Bush fucked up, so for anyone to call me out for being wrong here is ridiculous.

you're an idiot, the people that control our government are either republican or democrat. when you're talking about federal issues you have to name one of those two constituencies. US politics does revolve around these spheres, it doesn't take a whole lot to realize this much. you can't have a discussion without objects to discuss, do you have a suggestion for words to use other than repubilcan, democrat, conservative, liberal?

you're always whining about muslim repression this, muslim repression that... i don't bitch at you for lack of variety in your naming conventions. it makes more sense to me to discuss issues of republican and democrat competency than it does for you to run around a hiphop message board referring to yourself in the third person becuase 6 years ago you saw the Rock start doing it and you thought it sounded cool.

The way Bush handles this tragedy is horrible , it's sad , very sad for these people

rafsta · « **Reply #16 on:** September 02, 2005, 11:19:12 AM »

could this be portrayed as a symbol that bush doesnt really give a fuck about americans or anyone in general, and that he really was just avenging his father ?

what a fuckin idiot

if terrorism is the subject, muslim repression will be discussed. if the subject is a hurricane, ill be damned if i start yappin about muslim repression u stupid in bred monkey

it seems to u legitimacy is only achieved when some one from the other side dares to agreee. Thats legitimacy for u. You would take more delight in a republican co signin u then actually finding out the truth.
Youre a fuckin stooge basically is what Tech is sayin. And Tech talks like this not because he saw the Rock do it...but because Tech is an internet character created solely to insult white people and or white sympathehizers.

Now fuck off little boy, and post republican commentary on the hurricane.

Normally I'd agree but Bush has proven that he can go on vacation and invade Iraq at the same time. He's a multi-tasker.

lmao I don't think you're appreciating the magnitude of this disaster.

They're are now estimating 10,000 dead in New Orleans alone.

what do you want bush to do.. stand with a foot pump 24/7 removing flood waters?

rafsta · « **Reply #22 on:** September 02, 2005, 12:49:00 PM »

Bush has the responibility as the leader to make sure action is taken immediately and effectively in these situations... as the leader he should cop the fault if something goes wrong, even if he isnt directly in charge of an operation, the people under him are supposed to reflect bush and his administration......
