Them Texans really know how to show they care.

Like it or not it's a part of the job for Governors and Presidents to tour scenes of natural disasters.

People want to see the leaders they vote into office showing concern.

Perry is skipping out because he knows the flack he's going to get from the press over his evisceration of volunteer firefighter's budgets.

Right now the story isn't a national one, and he's doing everything in his power to keep it that way.

Yeah, that is a great answer. The people outside the disastor area want the illusion that their leaders care. The fact that a visit, with all the security measures and administrative redtape that goes with it, hinders the rescue work being done and slows the recovery is meaningless to those out there glued to their tv.

What you want is a media circus at the expense of those who desperately need help. Nice to show such compassion.
 
Insults and ridicule from the left is what passes for adult discussion these days. It's the price we pay for our freedom that we have to put up with any pissant with a computer who is delusional enough to think he can participate in a political discussion forum.

You're the saddest piece of shit I've come across is quite a while on a forum. You and your pal Dune are the weakest lying pissants on this forum. You're uneducated nasty little twits who belong back in school. You' don't have enough actual knowledge to compete on a forum. You have no idea at all what you're talking about. You're nothing but useful idiots for leftist cirminals.

Please - your apologism is hilarious. There is no bigger Bush hack on the board.

America watched people stranded in the streets for over 1 full day before we even heard from Bush. No leadership.

Your relentless apologism for him is embarassing. It was the most glaring failure of leadership this country has seen in the past several decades....

Whats embarrassing is the stupidity of onecell and his posse...

(Friday, 8/26) Louisiana governor Katherine Blanco declares a state of emergency......

(Sunday morning, 2 days later, at the height of the hurricane) 9:30 a.m.: New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin issues a mandatory evacuation order.
(Tuesday), 4 days after the state of emergency...... Nagin orders a forced evacuation of New Orleans.

and who does onecell blame....GW Bush....
Like he is the first line of defense....
Like Bush was supposed to know about the unused school buses....
Like Bush was supposed to know what local emergency plans were put into effect....
Like Bush was supposed to supply the Super Dome with cots, water, food, shit houses....
Like Bush was supposed to personally save people that were to fuckin' stupid not to evacuate....
Like it was Bush's fault that Louisiana governor Katherine Blanco wouldn't give the Federal government control of the NGuard...

But onecell the pinhead got his history from Chris Matthews and MoverOn and Keith Olbermann....a new perspective....a far left wing fake perspective....and he still clings to it...

I never claimed to be anything. I'm pointing out that you pissants like to dish it out, but you whine and play victim when you get it back. If you can't take the heat then get out of the kitchen.

You certainly misunderstand my posts if you think I'm saying Bush was the 1st line of defense.

But, when local leadership failed, Bush did not step up. There was a leadership vacuum. And this is particularly egregious because being a "leaderrrr" is one of about 3 things he campaigned on, and something his supporters always said he had as a quality.

He didn't. Bush was a flunkie who got by on his name. He was never a leader.

The Fed is not the first line of defense. The city is and then the state.

LMAO!! Your hypocrisy is astounding.

In another thread you called me an islamist appeaser and all sorts of crap. No discussion of the issue, just instant insults.

what should he have done? you keep babbling about how he didn't step up, yet you can't even explain what exactly he should have done. he ordered a federal response. BEFORE katrina made landfall. it is not his fault the mayor and governor fucked up so bad. your BDS is strong.

Ah, yes - one of the defenses of the apologist. What else could poor Bush do? The innocent bystander Prez.

For a full day, there was a void. You apparently weren't around, or weren't watching much news then (you have basically said as much on this board). This was a time that called for true leadership; someone to step in & get 'er done.

You apologists are always quoting the "correct order" of things and who is supposed to handle what & when, on paper. Bush had a chance to step up, and he didn't. And history has recorded that.
