Is Bush a tool?

Why did a catergory 3 hurricane headed to texas refineries receive more federal support from the vacationing president than the poor in New Orleans? Bush was in texas BEFORE Rita hit, but he's on vacation/photo ops for days after the category 5 Katrina? Are there obvious priorties here? If not, something more than oped pieces (or your own opion) would be nice.
 
The repug answer will be that he learned from Katrina... but this is a man who hasn't even learned how to say "nuclear" after 5 years of coaching, I think even learning to tie his shoes would be a bit beyond him. You already stated the true & obvious answer.
 
And the circle jerk begins.

Liberals on the attack. Was expected.

Bush was damned if he did, damned if he didn't on this one.

I'm not a liberal. People from all walks of life and all political outlooks hate Bush, and rightly so.

No, bush was damned because he didn't in New Orleans. "Youre doing a hell of a job Brownie." Rember that? Rember that he was on vacation for days after Katrina hit despite YEARS of warnings (and dont give me any of that "working vacation" sh!t. Clearing brush on your land is not being "presidunt," "fightin' terra," or being a leader)?

You're attempting to argue with someone who is nothing but a disrupter up here. A likely Freeper/RNC Team Load toadie with no critical thinking skills whatsoever.

I have no problem with the President getting involved earlier this time. Rita could have been a very bad storm but it weakened before landfall. There was some political posturing as his trip was originally to be to San Antonio but it was "too sunny" there and wouldn't give the impression the President was dealing with an oncoming storm.

As if you have the slightest idea what the President does at his Ranch. Of course you'd like to believe he is hunting and cutting down brush all day <sigh>

The only "tool" here are those who've shown themselves to be just that.

Also it's those whom the Bub appointed that screwed the pooch. Bush being in the Whitehouse or in Crawford wouldn't have mattered as the mistake was made many months prior to the disaster.

Which you do with each and every one of your posts.
 
dammed if you do and dammed if you dont. well that is a politicians life. i know texas learned a lot from katrinia, but they were near perfect in dealing with rita. just about every person evacuated like they were told, very little looting and that was in lake charles, la., no shooting at the rescuers and people helping themselves to safety.

Now where was that thread where people were completely refuting the fact that this would happen?
 
the reason bush jumped on the 2nd hurricane was he caught so much flak for missing the last one. just more grandstanding by another politician.

As if there was any doubt this was intended to be a circle-jerk thread. Is there anything to even discuss about this issue when it is put in such a trollish post?

:thumbsup:

The usual suspects have hijacked the thread, per usual. But I suspect it was intended that way.

Chee, what a surprise. Conjur resorting to personal attacks / insults when he has absolutely nothing else. You've shown to everyone just how big of a tool you really are, once again. Congratulations!

Nearly everyone, including Bush, put their faith in the local yokels in NOLA, and trusted that they would take care of their own. That didn't happen, so Bush can't sit around and wait for another local failure that he can take the blame for.

Yes, he's a politician first, and has to cover his own ass, but he also has to protect the reputation and effectiveness of the federal government. Which is now expected to provide first responders to any disaster, instead of backing up the local folks who really know what's going on.

Ah...more of the Blame Game pointing fingers at the wrong people. FEMA was just Johnny-on-the-spot as they told the "local yokels" they would be when the "local yokels" realized they were going to be overwhelmed by the storm and were requesting help.

He's not a politician. He's a front for the Rovian machine. And, you might want to check FEMA's website to see that even they state that in Federal disasters they are the primary responders.

What about it? I keep getting labelled one since I don't like Bush and the Holy War. Those of the limited mental capacity required to support him are mostly entirely unable to comprehend this, they only understand very basic 'rules', like "Bush good" and "Anti-Bush/War lib".
