GOP on Bush: "We are not sure he knows what he is getting into"

Reacting to all the pricey promises the president made in his big Katrina speech, a senior House Republican official told the New York Times, "We are not sure he knows what he is getting into."

If that's true, Bush must have the worst memory since Guy Pearce in "Memento" because he's definitely been down this road before.

The coming attractions for the reconstruction of the Gulf Coast play like a shot-by-shot remake of the mother of all disaster features, the reconstruction of Iraq.

"We will do what it takes, we will stay as long as it takes," the president pledged on Thursday. "We will do whatever it takes... we will stay there until the job is done," the president said of Iraq in November 2003. It wouldn't be a "Terminator" movie without "I'll be back," and it wouldn't be a massive mega-billion dollar Bush initiative without a vow to stay the course.

1. Ya think?

When has he ever known what he is doing? It has nothing to do with a bad memory, he DOES NOT CARE. Do they really not know that yet? Someone tells him what to say, where to say it and he does it and that is where it and he part company.

2. Much of New Orleans could be thusly done.... garage

under, house over.... simple, effective... sane.

[Twillig]

3. Yeah, the lesson learned by Galveston.

Only took them getting wiped out too.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

4. They resorted to this in Galveston, I don't mean resorted in a

bad way.... personally, I would love a setup like that...

[MissMarple]

5. I've seen that in Florida. It does make sense.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

6. I believe that shot was from Fort Meyers... yes it was. nt.

9. boat

The garage under the house also gives you a place to store a boat once the floods come again.

[jwirr]

12. That will work in flooding but what about 150 mph winds?

[HysteryDiagnosis]

14. Many of those homes were structurally sound... they were the victims

of rising water more than anything else. I imagine building codes could be implemented that mandate two by six walls and two by six trusses... hell, many "manufactured homes" are coming with two by six walls, and you can get two by six trusses "if" you go wide enough... if memory serves.

[Lochloosa]

15. Not high enough

I'm just saying...

[HysteryDiagnosis]

16. True that.... I would think parts of NO could be excavated into

lakes and the fill used to bring up elevations so that they could be high enough.

23. We have a whole village built this way...

...here at the French Mediterranean coast. It really makes sense.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

7. Other parts of New Orleans could be thusly done on a smaller

scale....

8. Similar designs have been suggest for Tornado Alley homes, too.

The ones I've seen have been sunken into the earth, though, to blend with the terrain. Some have grass on top.

11. Had one like that near Lake Erie.... forget the road it was on,

.... but it was too cool... man parked his car on top of his house...

[ellie]

10. That's what those fucking

Republicans wanted. During the 2000 election, the RW talking heads were making fun of Gore because he was so smart. They wanted a fucking idiot and they got a fucking idiot. He doesn't read, he doesn't follow current events, he is useless. Utterly fucking useless.

[MissMarple]

13. Now, honey, don't beat around the bush, just come right out and say it.

:bounce:

Bush, what is he good for?...Absolutely nothing.

[Disturbed]

17. The Silverspoon Sociopath is loved by...

the Super Wealthy and the Multi-Corps. He is their hero and the money flows like the water from the levees.

[gratuitous]

18. That's where Democrats differ from the GOP

They're not sure Bush knows what he is getting into. We know for a fact that he doesn't have a fucking clue.

[applegrove]

19. Bush is gone in 3 years. He doesn't have to deal with huge Government

debt. He wants government "sunk in the bathtub". The GOP in the Senate & Congress all plan on being around for a few rounds after that. Like the suburban family who think about the future and go green.

Typical CEO thinking - only this election cycle matters. (Bush) If I do what I want or what Karl wants - then people can pick up the pieces. All that matters is my "record" and my "accomplishments". Nothing long term. Nothing about the future. Me me me me me.

Welcome to why human beings want to be government by human beings.

[TheStates]

22. This is the fault of the entire GOP Government. Remember the meme...

Bush could not have got there without the GOP covering his ass every step of the way. All that matters was the bottom line with them.

The GOP made this mess, they made Bush. The GOP=Bush. So does his base.

Democrats should jump all over that meme nonstop and show what real government can do for people in need.

[applegrove]

24. Oh they will. But GOP running from Bush policies means he cannot

force feed the country - and whatever elite gift policy he doesn't manage to pass - is a few billion more dollars left in the Government to try and fix things in the 'post' Bush years.

[TheStates]

25. It should really mean immediate impeachment.....

But we know the GOP doesn't have an interest in keeping its seats. Plus there is all that money being pumped into Diebold based fraud in different places, that little snibit is obvious to the naked eye.

Lets hope Bush doesn't have a meltdown over being left lame-duck.

[applegrove]

26. Diebold is "fear". There is money being pumped into voter suppression

by creating apathy using diebold. We have much evidence of all kinds of suppression. Diebold is just a wedge. New Technology. Just as much proof that the exit polls were dicked with. Even in counties where there were no diebold - exit polls have been wrong - especially when George Bush runs in an election.

20. News flash, senior Republican guy: - he's YOUR boy.

Take him out to the woodshed and whup his ass.

[TheStates]

21. Right back at the GOP House: This is on YOUR hands. You let him..

You let him get away with all the crimes. This is all on your hands.

The blood is on your hands, the responsibility is on your hands.

The buck stops there doesn't it?

You're supposed to hold your own and other crooks accountable.

Now you've failed completely. Why don't you pass the buck or pass the bong?
