Speaking of FEMA and the President, I just realized yesterday that he "downgraded" FEMA from being it's own federal agency to being a part of Homeland Security, and is being run by a couple of his college buddies who have no experience in disaster relief.
What a bonehead. Who voted for this guy, anyway? SOMEONE had to, and it wasn't me.
Well, after this, we can all see the Homeland Security is a joke. what if this hadn't been a flood, but a "dirty" bomb? There's no evacuation plan, it takes 5 days to get aid (food and water) and just as long to get the National guard. Unfreakinbelievable.
Oh, and most guys I work with on the Stock Exchange voted for him.
Has anyone seen his Press Conferences? You'd think he'd show some somberness, sorrow and leadership. All this guy can do is smirk. Agghh!
I certainly didn't.......BOTH TIMES. BUT for some reason people love him. I think they are slowly realizing how he REALLY is.Quote:

I think his smirking is due to him being embarassed....I mean, who WOULDN'T be embarassed that it takes them 3 minutes to get out a 5 word sentence! I really thought that his press conference was weak (which is pretty much how I feel about him as a leader of this country...) and I can't blame the American people for being upset and angered with him and his cavalier attitude!Quote:

That's funny Jeblina, wasn't it your governor (his bro) who fixed the first election? He shouldn't even have one; he lost the Popular vote.
Geaorge W. doesn't even look like a leader whenever is see him speak. At least Clinton looked and sounded like a leader.

George W. is LAUGHABLE when I hear him speak...he sounds like some nervous teen giving a speech who keeps losing their place.....personally, I think George W is making a mockery of America every time he speaks publicly......I think the rest of the world must be just laughing at us when they see him!
They are. :(Quote:

NOT tv's, dvds, namebrand shoes, jewelry. etc.
Thats because they WERE the help :bored:Quote:

True....they pulled together when 9/11 happened. But there was help there almost immediately.Quote:

I mean ......Bush sat in a classroom for 7 min reading to some kids....after hearing about the whole 9/11 incident. What kinda moron is that? I'm sorry if he didn't want to be rude by leaving the kids....but honestly....its part of his job and he just sat there with a dumb expression on his face.Quote:

The whole point is there was no effort made immediately. I mean at least show some effort.....and he lacks that. Too busy vacationing many many times a year.
