This photo op is going to damage him even more
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 10:40 AM by Walt Starr
It's obvious what the hell he's doing. His body language speaks volumes.

This move by a desperate White House will be more damaging than the phony speech on Wednesday.

9. Another false move by Rove. Turd Blossom has lost his magic touch.
Chimpy just mouthing inane platitudes. His speeches consist of what needs to be done (duh, as if these people didn't know!) not what is being done or what will be done. CNN just stated that Bush could have gotten an assessment of the situation at the White House. Wondered why he isn't out meeting the people who have been hurt. (Weather flash - it is now snowing in hell. Lace up the ice skates.)

He is standing in that hangar buck naked and his handlers know it for a fact.

24. WWL
There coverage has been incredible, calm and dignified. But, they are butt kissing Bush every single chance they get. Whenever his name comes up it's good for 2 solid minutes of praise, at least

3. Anyone have pics of Trent Lott's other house in DC or elsewhere?
Since we are worried about HIS homeless state, I suggest we show everyone his alternative accomodations...

10. Clapping for themselves? They have got to be kidding--
Dumb ass stands there smirking bobbing his head while this witless FEMA director and these two other Gomer Pyle Governors yuk it up and then clap for themselves about what a good job they have all done?

This is disgusting--truly, even for POS bush this is over the top.

15. This is what you get when the asshole "adlibs"
"Out of the rubble of Trent Lott's house, we'll build a fantastic house! I can't wait to sit on the porch!"

I cannot believe this idiot actually had the gall to say such a thing in the wake of such a disaster.

23. You're right, Walt, on the adlibs
He can handle a written speech, somewhat, but adlibs; no way.

The reason is simple; it takes a mind to adlib.

12. Why does POTUS need to be "filled in" on the rescue efforts??!!??
And on camera, no less.

Shouldn't POTUS be up-to-date on the rescue efforts and status of the operation long, long before his plane lands there??

25. Well, a *real* POTUS, like, say, BILL CLINTON
would have been up-to-date long, long before his plane even took off

13. We have no governemnt
Only a bunch of self-congratulating back-slappers slapping the victims in the face and the whole world just had an opportunity to see it. This administration's goose is cooked and falling off the bone.

19. Oh yes,
But wait until he goes to NO - then all hell will break lose.

Our foreign minister (hell our whole government) bungled the Tsunami disaster and people exploded as she took the the government plane over there a week later to "see witness the devastation for herself" - strutting her ignorant self around at the hospitals for photo ops.

She never got over it pr wise, and my hunch is that we will have a new leadership in 06 because of that disaster.

When the survivors came home my friend who works for the state dep. was told not to wear a suit when greeting the people of the plane. The day before a survivor knocked the poop out a civil servant and when the idiot wanted to press charges, the cop took a choke hold on him and slammed him into the wall.

My point is, I do not think * cabinet realize just how angry, frustrated etc. the american people is.

20. being "briefed"
"Sir, there was a big hurricane."
"Oh, really?"
I know the intent was make him look "in charge" like a leader, but he just looked clueless. Nice try Karen Hughes, it's too late.
