Time Magazine: Dipping His Toe Into Disaster (Bush & Katrina)

Slow, awkward and at times tone-deaf, Bush mishandled the storm's first days. Now he has his own recovery problem...

...It isn't easy picking George Bush's worst moment last week. Was it his first go at addressing the crisis Wednesday, when he came across as cool to the point of uncaring? Was it when he said that he didn't "think anybody expected" the New Orleans levees to give way, though that very possibility had been forecast for years?....

1. Thank God for this (a paragraph from the piece)

"Many of Bush's best p.r. minds, including media adviser Mark McKinnon, were in Greece at the wedding of White House communications director Nicolle Devenish. Had they been around, perhaps Bush would not have been accompanied only by his dog Barney when he returned from vacation in Crawford."

2. So basically, unless someone TELLS Bush that he should APPEAR to give a

damn about people he will act on his own instincts which are to turn his back on horrible suffering that he had the power to alleviate.

The man is a sociopath. He is completely lacking in human empathy. People have to TELL him how a NORMAL HUMAN BEING would act.
