1. How Does This Guy Have The Brass To Even Show His Face....

in that part of the country? Listening to his comments - looks like he is blaming Congress for not coming up with the money for the area reconstruction.

He said the Army Corps of Engineers is rebuilding the levees as good or better than they were. Laughing and saying something to the effect that it would be hard for people to come back if that wasn't happening.

If this was President Carter - he would stay in the area for a day or two and actually pitch in and begin removing debris and helping in the reconstruction. But this is * - and you can tell by his speech and action - he doesn't want to be there and can't wait until he leaves.

What a poor example of a pResident of the U.S.A. What a poor example of a man.

3. 6 months later and * finds out now about the piles of garbage?

The man is so far out of his depth it is not funny.

4. Another Fake Photo Op ?

5. I wonder how his buddy Trent Lott

is doing with rebuilding his house? Got to get that done for National Security reasons, right?

8. Last I heard Trent was suing his insurance company

They were refusing to rebuild his house.

6. Got him his blue shirt on with sleeves rolled up.

Workin' hard. Infuriating.

7. Returning to the place where his presidency died.

Katrina is what finally did him in, and I don't think people will forget how the Boy King went to parties and begged rich people for money while Americans drowned in their own homes.

9. ...Looking for a dead rat to poke?? Numbnuts. n/t

10. A criminal always returns to the scene of the crime.

Guess this proves the old adage right.

11. I'd be more interested in a picture showing the SOB

picking up the remains of one, just one; of the hundreds, if not thousands
still lying underneath all that debris.

It's the least he can do, since his administration helped put them there.

12. Photo ops will not rebuild the Gulf Coast
