Bush Concerned for Earthqauke Victims

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON - President Bush on Tuesday offered the help and prayers of America to victims of an Indian Ocean earthquake that saw Indonesia battered for the second time in three months.

"On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our condolences to the victims of yesterday's earthquake in Indonesia," Bush said as he opened a speech on Iraq in the White House's Rose Garden. "The people of Indonesia can know as well that they have our prayers and that our government is ready to assist."

Bush said that U.S. officials, already in the region helping with the recovery from another earthquake and resulting tsunami, are moving quickly to offer assistance and gather information on what relief aid is needed.

1. Wow... a response in 1 day

I'm sure that will piss the Native Americans off even more.

What country does he think he's the president of? He obviously doens't give a shit about ours.

13. That's the first thought that came to me

after hearing of the quake. Wondered if he was going to say anything the next day or wait another 3 or 4 days per his usual pattern.

Jerk!!!!

2. Only cause Karl told him to...

...he totally ignored the last tsunami/earthquake casualties until a week later, when Karl had to spank his butt to get him to do his duty and say something.

Everytime I see him hauling poor little Barney around, I feel so sorry for that dog...poor thing!

3. Give the guy credit.

He fucked up on the tsunami, and he fucked up on the Red Lake shootings.

At least he didn't blow a third chance.

4. He has a little learning curve.

Earthquake on news="Oh, I need to say something nice".

5. Has bush commented on the Red Lake shootings yet?

He's giving me the impression that he just doesn't care.

Edited for spelling...

7. He commended that security guard

but that's about it, afaik.

This is nothing to disturb his vacation, though. Just hundreds, perhaps thousands of dead people and another urgent need for international aid.

Nothing to rile the Congress about. Probably no Christians over there anyway.

6. Well!

A prompt and appropriate response. Well done, George. You get a cookie.

Seems Lancelot Link's train of thought boards the station about two weeks behind schedule, doesn't it?

12. Put down the damn dog and salute properly!

Better yet, can the dog walk down stairs on its own?
