Do to our disaster Bush cutting vacation short by 2 days and going back to D C to run things. I thought he could runs things from Texas? Not Sure if 2 days means much. He's not looking for points is he? Remember his old man looked like he didn't give a shit in 89/90. Last two day he was out in Arizona & California making speeches. Maybe someone smarter whispered in his ear.

Nah, he's just trying to get away form the Sheehan crowd; 6 people and 542 reporters.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. But I guess that's why he gets the big bucks. :)

Figured you jump on low hanging fruit like this one the minute I heard about it. :rolleyes:

Give your fingers a break for the rest of the year after this grand slam of a post. :sleep:

I want to blame Bush for Katrina, but I really think this one is Pat Robertson's fault. God was like all "I'll show you a fatwa, mortal!". Unfortunately God is kind of old and doesn't see so well anymore himself. Missed the 700 Club studios by a thousand miles.

Along those lines I wonder where Jackson/Sharpton/ and their org's awere--still camped out with Sheehan and out of country. I've watched tons of coverage from looting to rescues and in all seriousness if I didn't know before hand I'd think they were covering city of Zaire. I have to assume that these poor folks were the only ones with no way out before storm hit--where were their advoctes when needed? you guessed it--on political agendas.

DTB - Great point. They will only show up when they get tv time for their pitiful self- serving agendas. You didn't actually think they would do something to help their Black brothers or sisters unless they could blame the police, the government, etc.?

The cops were looting too! Absolute mess. It's finally hitting me - this is/will be worse than 9/11.

Can we please get a mulligan on the new millenium?

Why drag Bush's vacation into this? Why drag Sharpton into this? For christ's sake, why drag race at all into this. The poor folks in New Orleans are everyone's brethren - not just Sharpton and Jackson's.

U know i can understand looting if ur stuck in the middle of nowhere and starving to death and just trying to get to food, and this chit is happening.

I don't condone people looting just for profit gains down the road, but people have to do what they to do to survive when fema hasn't gotten to them yet.

All I was asking why cut his vacation short. I thought he could run everything from Texas. And two days what difference does it make. He was closer to the disaster when in Texas. Anyone herd from Cheney. Not a word. Silent guy. Talking about Jackson. Jackson busy last few days kissing Venezuela ass after Robertson shot his mouth off. Sounds like he made progress. More oil to come from Venezuela. I bet Bush sent Jackson there.

Maybe you are not familiar with the antics of Sharpton and Jackson. In South Los Angeles (used to be South Central but they changed it so it wouldn't be a negative term), they only show up when a cop shoots somebody which is always the cops fault. Gang killings go on every day, but you won't find Sharpton or Jackson addressing that issue. Sharpton was out here in LA last week for just that reason. The looting doesn't bother me too much because if I had no food, I would be looking for some anywhere I could get it. What anyone will do with a tv is anybody's guess. Nobody is picking right or left, just making an observation that these camera hogs that supposedly are out for justice, only look at it in a myopic way.

That sounds positive. But really he was closer to the action staying in Texas. Hey it was hard to understand why all the news out lets were making such a big thing out of two days. Heck the two days before that he was off in ARIZ and Calf making speeches about something. I think what may have been better is step up the relief effort. Don't have to come back to D C to do that. It's a day lost.

Because it doesn't matter where he is at the exact time. He can get anywhere within hours, but who cares that he's in Crawford.

The levees didn't break at '9am' on monday. That's what has caused this. As you know, the last thing that i'm inclined to do is defend him, but at 9am on monday, everybody was saying how lucky NO was.
