I get these messages regularly from Buzzword and thought this one was worth sharing here.

Poorly planned and poorly executed.

2. Got a letter from my conman about the FEMA fiasco
he's a repuke, so I guess I should have expected the hand written note from him that it was all the local government's fault (in other words, blame the Dems).

4. I love that.
"I mean, come on, Bush is the President. He's only in charge of the Federal Government, and the final word on Executive Authority.

Clearly, there's nothing he could have done."

(and here comes my favorite part)

Besides, even if he could have done anything, that's not the point. Why should he have done anything? Its not his job!


excuse me? Not his job? Why should he?

WTF?

If he were even half the leader that conservatives claim he is, and if he even gave half a shit about the people of New Orleans, he would have stepped right into action.

Do they honestly expect us to believe that this same man who they were telling us can move the heavens and the earth to get things done can't even make a few fucking phone calls to get some action and to save American lives?

Plus, they say he has no control over the National Guard troops who need to be dispatched for things like this.

Oh really?

I live in Kansas... Its a red state but our Governor's a Dem.

Could she decide that none of our National Guard troops will be going to be participating in any Bush war? Does she have that authority? If not, why not?
