The photo that says it all...

I feel bad for laughing at that photoshopped pic...*hangs head*

This is the most irrelevent posts I have ever seen Ant...
What the fuck do you want Bush to do? Go over their and start taking out water with buckets? He is just one person. He requested billions of dollars in aid. You shouldnt rely on any huge bureaucratic government, it will never be able to protect you. If you rely on government for anything, anything, you're going to be disappointed, no matter who the president is. If you going to blame someone, blame Governor Blanco of Louisiana, he did not have a disaster plan in place, did not have enough state police and National Guard to secure a city the size of New Orleans, and did not push for federal help soon enough. President Bush was 24 hours too slow in reacting to the disaster. Why? I don't know. And the head of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, seemed clueless for days.
Engineers knew for decades the levee system in Louisiana could not withstand a Category 5 hurricane, but nobody wanted to pony up the $20 billion to shore it up. That kind of decision happens all day, every day
Also, this issue is not about race, It's about class. If you're poor, you're powerless, not only in America, but everywhere on earth. If you don't have enough money to protect yourself from danger, danger's going to find you. And all the political gibberish in the world is not going to change that. So dont blame Bush for not helping people that are dying.
The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina should be taught in every American school. If you don't get educated, if you don't develop a skill, and force yurself to work hard, you're most likely be poor. And sooner or later, you'll be standing on a symbolic rooftop waiting for help.

Yeah Ant and Kerry was probobly sucking dick and eating olives while telling incredibly boring jokes. And what the fuck were you doing man?

I thought it was a bit ridiculous when michael moore poked fun at bush for taking 7 minutes to respond to 9-11. The government took a few days to really respond to Katrina and that is suddenly ok?
Do you even remember Bush's platform? Don't tell me his response was excusable. This was the administration that promised to keep America safe. This was the administration that created the Department of Homeland Security which is staffed with 150,000 employees and has a $30 billion dollar annual budget. You wanna support the guy, but hold him accountable for absolutely nothing. This whole thing was the epitomy of Bush Administration incompetence, but let's review.
They fuck up in Afghanistan trying to find Bin Laden
They fuck up in claiming Iraq had WMD and Ties to terrorism.
They fuck up in going to war with Iraq.
They fuck up in prosecuting the war with Iraq.
They fuck up claiming Iraq will be pretty much no sweat... it obviously wasn't.
They fuck up by blowing a surplus, and burdening the country with massive amounts of debt.
They get caught red handing multiple times buying off the press.
They run on a platform whose CENTRAL message was "WE CAN KEEP YOU SAFE" and at the end of the day...
They fuck up by giving the MOST LACKLUSTER response to a national castrophe this country has ever seen.
So why are you still riding dick? You wanna know why your life sucks, why you can't get a decent job, or a nice steady girlfriend that actually treats you good? Just go look at yourself in the mirror. You sacrifice your intelligence trying to defend a president and political party that don't even know who the fuck you are or really give a shit for that matter. What the fuck are you trying to prove? Bigotry does nothing to improve your life, but it sure as hell goes a long way towards making you a hell of a lot less successful, so why fucking bother with it?
