This picture is worth 1,000 words
Look at the contempt on Clinton and Bush Sr.'s face.
First day after the storm hits. The dams are breaking and the city is flooding, Bush is... playing golf. The second day, people are drowning to death in the own attics, Bush is... going to the baseball game. The third day, Bush decides to take air force one on a site seeing tour over the site. Afterwards he pops out gives a horrible speech followed by a bad joke. A joke. A freaking joke. As bands of armed looters kill and rape their way through the city. And finally, finally, he decides to mobilize the government. Rescue ships now set to arrive next week, while twenty thousand starve at the convention center.
The incompetence and arrogance is stunning.
Clearly, the worst president ever.
And my anger isn't reserved for him. I heard Chertof on the All Things Considered today. Here was the guy who is coordinating the federal effort who was only talking in vague terms about services and rallying points. The host was more upset than I had ever heard him, telling him over and over that there was a correspondent at the convention center who was witness to the suffering of thousands. And Chertof? Clearly didn't even know that there was anyone at the convention center. Ridiculous.
Oh, believe me, it doesn't stop there. I'm on the RNC mailing list and what do I get in my email today? A request for more funds to fight the estate tax. What the hell country are these people living in?
