Finally the worlds biggest con man and liar gave up. Any moron with a working brain knows that Bush only took responsibility when he knew he couldn't lie his way out of it and after charges where brought against the owners of a nursing home for negligent homocide (hint)..it's like I told you neocons.."you'll never lie or con your way out of this one"...you gave it all you had though..I liked the one about playing the blame game, that was a good one.
Yeah, well if the buck stops with BUSH, he should do what a real man would do, RESIGN! Or better yet, commit hari kari on national TV. That would restore some respect for that fucking idiot, and PROVE he's taking responsibility. He thinks taking responsibility means, going on TV and saying so. Nothing more. The REAL reason he took responsibility is because those who REALLY are responsible are too important to Cheney's plans to fire. And since no one can fire Bush, and he's a lame duck, NOBODY will pay any consequences. Chertdoofus, that asshole running Homeland "Security", is the one REALLY responsible here, since he oversaw the gutting of FEMA and did nothing to improve the response of FEMA except to commend everyone on how great a job they were doing, just like Bush did. For some hidden reason Chertdoofus is being protected, perhaps because he has a big responsibilty for diverting the funds FEMA & the Army Corps of Engineers could've used in protecting and rescuing New Orleans. Diverted to Bush cronies for things that do NOTHING to enhance the security of Americans and LOTS to line the pockets of Bush's friends. There is a LOT of BUSHIT here, and Katrina only exposed the TOP layer of corruption going in Homeland Security and the Bush Administration. I sure hope the world gets to see the bottom of the corruption of the Bush Administration while he's still in office.
Uh, he ADMITTED responsibility for JUST ONE of his messes at last. You think this is the ONLY fuckup Bush is responsible for? I'm sure he only admitted it after he was assured by everyone around him that HE, personally would not suffer any ill effects. Indeed it's just hiding all the others who have responsibility, and won't get disciplined now. So what are YOU as an American going to demand from Bush for his accountability? You can't fire him, you can't demote him, you can't discipline him, and even SAYING anything negative about Bush seems to raise the hackles of EVERY fucking American conservative, like you're BLASPHEMING GOD! Bush is JUST A FUCKING MAN (a poor example of a human, admittedly). Stop putting him on a fucking pedestal, and see him for the epitome of a greedy, corrupt, conservative, hypocritical, elitist, imperialist, warmongering asshole he really is.
IM tired of hearing people say "dont blame bush". like I said before, what happened with the buck stops here?? plus, what the fuck was he doing sitting on his ranch while the hurricane was hitting the coast, and it took him what, 4 days to even survey the damage?? a "fly over" doesnt count. he was there to help out his brother when the hurricanes hit florida, in a heartbeat, why was this different?? I guess kanye west said it best "bush hates black people"
Defensive? Its so blatent that Bush and Company fucked this up on purpose and the first thing out of the Bushites' mouths is "Obviously the natural disaster is his fault". You know how many times I've seen people use that as a defense? No one, and I mean NO ONE is blaming Bush for Hurricane Katrina. Bush is being blamed for taking money that should have been used to repair the levees and would have prevented the flooding in the first place, and thought it wiser to send it over to Iraq along side with our dying brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, to fight his illegal war. Bush is being blamed for the mockery of a 'response' brought forth from FEMA, a department expressly set up to respond to emergencies such as this, and Homeland Security, an organization set up to throw tax money into and scare the nation with its color coded threat chart. But you know what, you keep living in your happy little Bush-land. Duct Tape your windows up and tell us to put on our tin foil hats. But hey, Bush doesn't hate black people, look how well this is working out for them.
The defense of "Its not Bush's fault there was a Hurricane" would be the defense. Who is using that defense? 'Bushites' as I mentioned allready, or in other words, supporters of Bush. I've seen people write to the newspaper and say that, I've seen people on TV and heard people on radio say that. And now, I've heard you say that. Its not ONLY black people, but the vast majority of people affected by this were poor black people. If this hurricane had hit Martha's Vinyard or some other upper class white community, you think FEMA would have waited four days to do anything? Even though they knew that this would be a large enough hurricane to put the levees in danger, they still didn't begin to do anything until the city was in ruins.
Now, I understand that you made it clear you weren't defending Bush, but the attitude of mockingly attributing all natural disasters to bush (as I saw someone write to the newspaper) and seeing your attitude towards it is what provoked my original response. If you still want to continue this, though, I'll be back tomorrow. Its about 2:30 in the morning and I'm going to sleep.
he didnt have to go down to new orleans!! even in mississippi, he didnt get there till 4 days after!! like I said before, bush would have been there the next dayif it happened in florida (which he had done, previously....... and oh yeah did I mention it was election year then?? 2004??)
I'm confused, now the idiot accepts responsibility...what does it mean to "take responsibility"? Just say I did it and walk away? If that's the case then we better free Saddam - he took "responsibility" for killing the Kurds. Now that Bush has taken "responsibility" for the deaths of hundreds of poor blacks, shouldn't somebody arrest him?
look y'all... none of y'all are from the south. I live on the Alabama/Mississippi line and I live on the coast. Me and my family were idiots and we stayed bc we have too many pets and we are devoted to them and them to us so we stayed. Y'all that are from Mass. and New York, you don't know what it was like during Katrina. New Orleans just got flood damage and Mississippi and Alabama got a lot of the wind damage. I'm a liberalist democrat and I absolutely loathe Bush. But this has nothing to do with "He hates black people"... I really hate it when people bring up quick solutions to problems by confining them to simple terms as a racial issue. I'm not black, myself, but racism upsets me. Just as much as war and corruption and allowing idiots to run the country. We have a list of problems that run to let's say... 4721 problems and Bush is on number 8! He is so behind. He was sitting on his ranch in Texas so oblivious to what destruction really is. Katrina wasn't anybody's fault. I should say that I do believe that the world as a whole is responisible for upping global warming. The Gulf Waters get warmer every year, which means that the Summer Storms thrive and breed and warm water and hurricanes are giving us hell down here. We are counting down to June 1, here on the Gulf Coast. It's become an epidemic. It's like nothing else down here. I promise y'all that. Bush was focusing on Iraq and any devious scams to add to it, when we [the gulf coast] were drowning and money was being swallowed by the government. To pay for Katrina casualities and this pointless war that will never end. It's like the never ending war. I mean, you gotta be purely stupid to pick a fight with the middle east. I'll tell you, I just got from Jazzfest in New Orleans [I'll say that Dave Matthews and Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen ROCKED] and Katrina victims are still there. The stuff you don't see on the news. I mean, the houses all have water lines on them, the stench of dead bodies is still there, very faintly, but there, and there are refugees living in makeshift shanties, I mean, it was like The Great Depression... driving through and families are living in tents underneath bridges and highways. That hurts. When you're driving through and surveying what damage is left. It's heartbreaking. I don't think that's what Bush saw. Bush saw a flood and stranded people on top of their houses getting ready to collapse... and dead people. What really gets under your skin is what I saw. I live 2 hours away from New Orleans... that could've easily been me. I just want to do the best I can in furthering our country to choose the right people. Bush is not the right person. At this moment, no one really knows who the right person is or ever will be. I'm just so hurt by all of this. All the people that have given their lives to this country, have fought and died for us 400 years ago, if they could see us now, and see what the leaders of this country have gotten us into, they would've died for nothing: at this point, the whole world hates america. I just don't know what to do. There's nothing I can do but wait til 2008 and hope that somewhere in Bush's heart [if he has one] that he sees that his approach is not working and is not winning the hearts of america, than he needs to gain his trust back and try a different way of dealing with it. Thanx. A
