Bush faces Katrina disaster zone
George W Bush is touring the hurricane Katrina disaster zone after admitting relief efforts in the past few days have not been acceptable. The US president is facing opposition criticism during the country's greatest emergency since September 11th.

After a brefing with officials in Mobile he said: "First we're going to save lives and stabilise the situation. Then we're going to help these communities rebuild. The good news is, and it's hard for some to see it now, is that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubble of Trent Lott's house, this guy lost his entire house, there's going to be a fantastic house and I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch."

I read this quote from multiple sources. The mental midget president is talking about stabilizing things when that should have been started five days ago. Instead he's talking about rebuilding when people are still dying - when stability is no where in sight. At what point does anyone ask, "When does he have a clue."

Where are all these George Jr supporters when this is the event that measures the mettle of a president? Why so much silence? Oh. Maybe intelligent design will save these victims. Sarcastic? Show me one good reason why contempt and George Jr should not be part of the same paragraph. He’s talking about rebuilding Trent Lott's house when he sat for days doing nothing – promising aid - as American were dying.

Never forget the damning picture of 50 C5As on tarmacs in Louis Armstrong International airport unloading supplies AND taking out the victims. One small problem – the C5As were not dispatched – as the president waited for things to stabilize.

George Jr again makes decisions as any good MBA would. Go ahead. Show me. Show me where any of these facts are in error. Show me where top management took charge during a disaster. Show me. This time there was no Mayor Guiliani to save an MBA's sorry ass.
