Looking at the way George Bush dealt with the whole hurricane disaster, do you like him as a president? I think he did a horrible job. I haven't done tons of research or anything but first of all it took him 5 days to get people food and water, and before he even stepped FOOT in new orleans. Remember the tsunami? He was helping out the very next DAY and he can't even do that in our own country. I was just watching the news and it was pissing me off when they showed a clip of him hugging some new orleans residents like he saved the day, so i had to make this poll.

You know Michael Moore was sued over F 9-11 because he took newpaper head lines and stories and photo choped them. I feel sorry for anyone who actually believes what he says in his "documentaries".
The major of New Orleans and Governer of LA f'd up. They new days before it hit that the levies would not hold up, yet they did not call a mandatory evacuation which is what they should have done. And yea the relief efforts were F'd up to, but look at all the stupid morons that won't leave, and can't fend for themselves, not talking about the old or sick ppl. |

[right][snapback]332343[/snapback][/right] Go to his website and you'll find out where to find those "photochoped" documents, usually from the Washington Post, NYT, or CNN guess they're in on his propoganda also (at least he didn't hire an actress to do it all *cough* social security report). For those who think he couldn't do anything know nothing of the chain of command, in certain times of crisis the president can supercede all and give direct action unless congress decides to step in, this is enough to become a national crisis and Bush had the authority to send help at any time. IMO I would have at the very least dispatched a Marine Reserve unit (in which even Congress or any other part of the government can't control that, Marines are directly ordered by the president without approval from anyone). As far as people not leaving, hey you miss the boat then you had your chance for help and refused, that means the government did their part. |

[right][snapback]332486[/snapback][/right] Why would I go to his website, I saw this on a reputable news source. If you are gullable enough to believe what he says that is up to you. President Bush did declare a state of emergency for LA and Mississippi 2 days before the levi's broke. This gave the full power to FEMA to respond at any time. Why did the state government not send in national guardsman? Why did the major of New Orleans not help? Lets blame one person for the whole thing. Personally I like the clips of perfectly healthy people sitting in chairs saying "Help us we are dying" get off your *sses and go help your selves! GO FIND FOOD GO FIND WATER! I also like the clip of the guy carrying a TV on his shoulder in the background while a guy in front says "we have need food to survive." |
