Even With The Knowledge That * Knew About The Potential Of....
the levees failing before Katrina hit and him lying to the American public 4 days after that "no one could have anticipated the levees failing" - how could he even show his face to the American people now and not be embarassed at the conditions that still exist down in the Gulf Coast region today - 6 months after the storm hit.

The conditions are deplorable. It happened on his watch. He should have done everything in his power to alleviate the pain and suffering of the people in that region - and he hasn't. That is just inexcusable. He is a miserable failure (to coin a phrase) and the whole world was watching back when the storm hit as they still are today.

He has no right to call himself the President of the U.S. He doesn't know the first thing about being a President.

3. Bush has no excuse
for all the guitar strumming,
cake eating and crony jawboning
AFTER Katrina had struck.

Everyone on the planet knew
the magnitude of what had happened
and Bush just fucked off.

5. He is corporate world king
Edited on Wed Mar-01-06 11:55 PM by Erika
He has no interest in being a president of Americans. It probably doesn't even enter his mind.

There are many articles that the rich in New Orleans would profit immensely from the flooding of the lower income areas. The lower income people could not afford to rebuild so the rich will buy up the land and make a fortune in selling it to the most wealthy, along with deals with the feds to build safe levees.

A win-win situation for the rich.

6. They wanted New Orleans destroyed
I've been reluctant to believe this, even about this pestilence of a regime--and forgive me, for *that* naivete... But there can't be any more doubt. New Orleans was *sacrificed*. On *purpose*. The reasons can be guessed at, and have been discussed here many times...I wasn't ready to believe it. But the population of the Easy is only a third of what it was...and the exiles are mostly the poor and the black...this video is the smoking gun. How can anyone deny it now? They don't even seem to care that people know anymore...and neither does the media...and even the Dems don't seem to care. WTF is going on in this country?

7. One reporter on this year's Mardi Gras
said the only thing missing were the Blacks. They were hit and hit hard.

10. Democrats care. Republicans don't care. That is what has happened.
:cry: Corporatists have taken control and the sheeple don't even know it. :(

13. Cowards are ruled by fear, great leaders sneer at it.
From the beginning Bush was too much of a coward to develop a platform of his own, choosing to capitalize on the generic lowest common denominator homogenized hatred of persecutory 'christian' socialism, the illogical and unworkable 'two' state non-solution for Jerusalem, with continued support of rabid religious socialism in both Israel and Palestine. He dared not challenge the Global Mercantile Nobility and based his entire economic platform on the Rash Limp-Bow theory of economic enrichment through wealthy sewage, and an orgy of Organized Gambling for profit scam for healthcare.

From the moment he admitted he had been "terrorized" by this ragtag crowd of pissant Muslim Fascist fighters he surrendered America and Americans to guilty fear of an anointed, valid enemy. This needless and valueless centralized Big Government - Big Lie "Homeland Fascist" bureaucracy he created was a wholesale capitulation to fear, and he and his band of cowards have promoted, harnessed and exploited Americans unreasoning fear of a tiny, largely impotent and ineffective enemy to destroy freedom and liberty here, and send us hiding under our beds clutching our biblical socialist dogma books for security from the big world of compassion, reason, freedom and liberty out there.

He was so afraid of a captive tin pot dictator in an occupied third world country, and afraid of being unable to capture the Osama Bin Laden our CIA Mafia had armed, hidden and trained so well, and so afraid of having to deal with Israel, Jerusalem and Palestine that he has escalated and hardened the battle between Republican Liberty and Religious Fascism into a global world war.

His wanton and ruthless unprovoked cowardly attack upon innocent Iraqis from the edge of outer space has done more to promote Muslim Fascism in the Arab world than Mohamed ever did (or most likely would have never done). Even Iran which had been gradually liberalizing has now been forced back into the grip of religious tyranny.


Once again we do not have an FDR in our White House when we dearly need one.

Where is the National Retraining and Relocation program to bring the nation's unemployed to the Gulf Coast to work to rebuild our nation? Where are the initiatives for private industries to expand, relocate and get involved in this massive rebuilding program. Where is the National Reconstruction and Re planning Administration we need to deal with the obvious disasters being visited on us due to our ignorance of global warming? Where is the National Energy Program to immediately move us into compliance with Kyoto and dramatically and irreversibly cut our emissions of greenhouse gases?

We have nothing to fear but Bush himself
