maybe if nyc was underwater instead you'd understand.


Tom, I'm not arguing with your ideas here. However, if a US President showed up to survey every single disaster...natural or not, he would spend his time touring the country and would essentially become the CEO of a disaster clean-up crew. Then who would worry about intelligence reports, national security, Nato relations, foreign wars, homeland security, the US budget, passing and vetoing proposed laws and amendments, keeping healthcare privatized, the environment, global warming, NASA...etc...etc...

Why bother with States Rights? If he has to babysit every state...we may as well have prayer back in school too. But, that's States Rights...not the Presidents responsibility. I know that you and a million others are eager to point your fingers at Bush for everything from Penile Warts to World Economy....but this simply had nothing to do with him. As FEMA is the responsible organization for all Federal Emergencies....let them take care of it. Whether Bush shows up 1 millisecond later or 8 years later...it still won't get food to those people any faster, it still won't dry up the water any faster. If we blame him for not getting there for 2 days...we may as well blame ourselves for not showing up at all.

On a side note: Even if Bush approves another $40 Billion for the clean-up....congress still has to ok that money before it goes anywhere!
