Follow the bouncing ball
If you connect the dots between the various Bush
Administrations failures, you can see the pattern emerge...
Hurricane Katrina showed how devastatingly out of
touch and how slow to action George Bush is, right? Maybe you'll get this
realization if you've never seen the timeline for President Bush on 9/11. Just
as Bush waited days before doing a flyby over what was left of New Orleans, he
entered the classroom after the first tower had been hit. Hundreds of people had
just died in a major catastrophe in a major American city (it may not have been
clear that we were under attack at that point) and the President ignores this to
sit down and read to children. It wasn't until several minutes after the second
tower was hit that he stood up to leave the room and only when his staff
basically hauled him out. If there was ever any doubt to the lack of engagement
of this president, 9/11 should have made it clear. The aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina just showed that the man still hadn't learned the lesson that he should
actually care about the American people instead of just using their deaths to
further his own agenda.
Similarly, if
you remember the flap around Armstrong Williams and the Bush administration
planting false news reports and paying for favorable editorials in American
media, the fact that we were doing the same in Iraq shouldn't surprise
anyone.
What surprises me these days
isn't the fact that our President continues to violate American law and the
trust of the American people but that anyone is surprised about it
anymore.
