Viva Bush! (not)

(quoted from msnbc.com) To make matters worse, the chief of the Louisiana State Police said he heard of numerous instances of New Orleans police officers — many of whom were from flooded areas — turning in their badges.
“They indicated that they had lost everything and didn’t feel that it was worth them going back to take fire from looters and losing their lives,” Col. Henry Whitehorn said.

It is nice that President Bush could come back from his 5 week vacation and begin paying attention to the country that he is the (supposedly) elected leader of. It is a show of his true colors. Seeing him talk today about "teaming up" and "working together" to get this taken care of was a little like hearing him tell us that the war in Iraq is "hard work". Then when he said that he was going to make sure that Trent Lott had a new house and he planned on sitting on the porch, I had to step back and wonder if I really heard the president put aside the rotting corpses and the dehydrated and starving survivors to assure his buddy that his home would be rebuilt. (unfortunately that was a fact...)

I am sorry sometimes to be so powerless to change things in Washington. All I can do is vote and speak my mind. Just for the record, I did not vote for Bush Jr or Bush Sr. I did on the other hand vote for William Jefferson Clinton, who in my opinion was the greatest leader of our time...
