Our incompetent and inept president is a day late and a dollar short. Pathetic per usual.

Ignorance flows free! It's the mayor and governor who are to blame for not having a GET THE HELL OUT OF NEW ORLEANS plan. They know the situation of their below level city better than anyone.

This was posted August 27th on the Mayor's website:

City of New Orleans

Mayor Nagin is working with Gov. Kathleen Blanco and other City, local and State officials are watching the storm

N8TIV:

This thread is about President Bush and his role in allowing what happened to happen. Perhaps your unsuccessful attemp to deflect from Bush would be better placed in a thread on Blanco and Nagin.

B)

The top guy should ultimately be responsible for national affairs...It's the price you pay for sitting in the big chair. He's to blame for many things: The CIA's misinformation on WMD's in Iraq, letting Casey Sheehan die 'needlessly' in Baghdad, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (the failure to set an example for Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin) You'd think he must hate black people.

It seems our lame duck here is trying to be the scapegoat. Even if he is/is not responsible for all of the failures, might as well take all of the blame.

No, he's not trying to be the scapegoat. He finally stopped listening to his advisors for a couple of minutes, and said what he should have said a week ago...that the buck stops here. The president sets the tone and the policy. The policy of FEMA was shifted 4 years ago away from natural disasters and toward terrorist attacks. FEMA's feeble response to this natural disaster is a direct result of that change in policy.

This is the first time in his presidency that he has accepted responsibility for his actions or his policies. While it may not reverse his record low popularity, and it is way late, it was the right thing for him to do.

I don't think he hates black people. He clearly likes Condi. I just think he's a clueless incompetent. I hope this will finally wake people out of their stupor and realize what an inept administration this has been. The bungled war. Irresponsible tax cuts resulting in mind boggling debt. And now death and destruction in NO. It is absolutly indefensible.

all the experiences i have had with busher's lead to the generalized conclusion that they stick with him through thick or thin, stupid or more stupid(er)...heh

maybe it's a betting pool... :blink:

The ignorance is gushing with this one... You're inept ability to find another word besides inept is funny and you continue to put blame on the federal government for the death and destruction, when in reality...it's a natural disaster and those people should have been evacuated beforehand. Shame on those state and local leaders for not having a plan...It's their responsibility for knowing what to do in an emergency...Not this inept administration. Next time you run out of money at the casino's...why don't you blame BUSH or any republican administration for the insufficient welfare check. Handouts for the poor.

Libs should stop relying on the federal government to save them.

I agree. But unlike other members on this thread, I'm not going to abuse my post by filling it with needless smiley faces & exclamation points.

I will editorialize for just one moment however: Liberals, if left soley in charge of this country, would eventually give away everything Christian conservatives have fought to create & preserve over the last 300 years to those who don't deserve it.

Welfare & NAFTA are just two examples that more than prove my point.

Oh, f*cking brother!

BTW, Jeebus, please explain the Medicare Prescription Benefit to me, including who pushed it through Congress.

Also, could you explain CAFTA to me, as well?

Yaa Screw the librals!!! If it weren't for good Christian Republicans we wouldn't be taking it to those "terrorists" in Iraq that attacked us in 9/11. Shame on the "libs" for needless idiotic anti-American "Bush bashing". And now these "hate America firsters" are at their Bush bashing once again, why? Just because he was speaking at a fundraiser in California a day after one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in US history occured and couldn't provide adequate asisstance until 4 days after the levees broke. The nerve of these viscous libs! Now when those moronic liberal democrats in New Orleans and Louisiana who didn't drag the remaining 20% of New Orleans out before the storm needed federal assistance desperately, why rush it to them? After all Karl Rove, Limbaugh and Hannity will be right there to point the blame right where it should be....on all the incompetant democrats in Louisiana.

Now if Bush were getting BJs from his mistress on his frequent but ohh so necessary "working" vacations in Crawford..now that would be a worthy reason for criticism!

Look, I know.. I know.. I voted for him - so its just as much my fault. We're just going to have to wait for '08 and see what changes we can make.

That's why I'm mildly conservative..

Well, this has just turned completely bizarre.

Jeebus is "mildly conservative"?

N8TIV is still deflecting-grousing over my description of the Bush Administration as "inept"-I can't find a better description. Maybe incompetent?

Neither one of them can defend Bush.

So it's blame the "libs". It's blame the cigarette smokers.

Again, why don't you defend Bush instead of deflecting. This thread is about Bush.

Stand up for your guy.

The only thing bizarre here is your complete inability to grasp reality. Blame the cigarette smokers? Blame them for what? How about blame those who buy cigarettes with money given to them to buy necessities - not luxuries. Again, you're attempting to drag a simple converstation across threads in an effort to insult me. You're transparent and its evident by your replies to my posts.

I have never claimed to be a proponent for Bush. I voted for him for two reasons:

1. Every vote counts - Every election.

2. He wasn't Kerry.

So based on those two reasons, why are you expectant upon my defense of him? I've been the first to put him down. Bush is an idiot. If you would grasp reality, and listen (or in this case read) - then these misunderstandings would be non-existant. Of course your need to post would then be non-existant as well.

i can proudly say i've never voted for anyone that i thought to be an idiot

there are *usually* other alternatives to the two idiots in the two most prominent parties... :rolleyes:

(especially in texas, where the biggest idiot would win no matter what... :lol: )

If you're referring to the Independent Party, then yes, I agree completely. Unfortunately, with war looming, I had to pick not only a president - but an administration.

I'll be the first to admit that I might be wrong. But his administration isn't over yet. So I'll just have to wait. As for the other alternative of "not voting" - well, that's just Un-American! Besides, if you don't vote, how can you have the right to gripe later??

You defend Nagin because of this quote from you?:

..."be cause Bobby Jindal is a 1. a minority 2. a man 3. NOT BLANK-O. Surely you cn see now why he supported Jindal after watching Blank-O make her mess."

Do you see why you aren't taken seriously? You support draft dodging idiots because they aren't veterans like Kerry and candidates based on their genitalia and skin color. Now if that isn't bizarre, I don't know what is.

You are all over the page, man.

Bush takes full responsibility?

'Responsibility' includes accepting the consequences for his actions. Impeachment is called for. His ability to lead our country is legitimately under question.

Regardless of a person's political leanings, President Bush has shown the glaring errors in judgement and bizarre behavior that are characteristic of people who suffer from long-term alcohol and drug abuse. He cannot grasp questions, nor can he formulate answers. If he were black, in rags, and on Main Street, you'd immediately peg him as a burned-out old wino. Bear in mind that he once had the intellegence to graduate from Yale - not brilliant, but certainly not the shell of a man we see today.

We test our atheletes for drugs, and drivers for alcohol consumption. Why shouldn't the leader of the free world be held to the same standards? We cannot - must not - take the word of a confirmed alcoholic that he's been 'clean' since he was 40. There's too much at stake.

No. This is in the same category as the drunken wife-beater who bursts into tears and tells her how sorry he is when he knows she might leave him. "I'm sorry, baby! I'll never do it again! I take full responsibility!" He is neither mentally nor emotionally equipped to continue being President.

So, this liberal has stopped hating Bush. He's not just mean and stupid - he's sick and brain-damaged because of a disease he cannot control. I pity his children, because these things run in families, and they seem to be off to a rip-roarin' start.

Our country comes first. Let's not let one man's personal failings bring it down.

Be a man, Bush. Resign. Don't put us through another impeachment.

Good post. It brings to mind the "pretzel" episode. If I were in a room choking on a pretzel and knew there were SS agents right outside the door, I think I would have run to the door and made some sort of signal that, "HEY! I'm choking here!"

I seriously don't think I would just collapse to the carpet hitting my head on the coffee table on the way down. It seems he clearly has unresolved issues.

One correction to your post, however: he has never admitted to being an alcoholic.

That denial is what keeps him from being a whole individual again.
