Almost as classy as GOP conventioneers wearing Pruple Heart ribbons with Band-Aids on them.

Seriously, it should have been called Hurricane George.

Well, folks, the only thing left up in the air now is whether George Bush is the worst president ever. Herbert Hoover has held the title since 1933.

It's been neck and neck for a while, but I think Bush pulled ahead with his spectacular failure in handling Katrina.

George Bush is a walking catastrophe. Far more than even Katrina, he is one of the worst disasters to ever hit America. His performance these past two weeks seemed a showcase for his utter stupidity and indifference, complete with flood, fire and floating bodies.

It was an epic performance that, more than anything else thus far, has revealed his true, craven self. [/b][/quote]

“This is the Katrina administration,” read prepared remarks posted on 2004 Democratic presidential nominee’s website, www.johnkerry.com. “Katrina is a symbol of all this administration does and doesn't do,” read Kerry’s script, portions of which were included in an e-mail to supporters that ended with a fundraising appeal.

“Michael Brown [Bush’s former emergency-management director] … is to Katrina what [former Iraq administrator] Paul Bremer is to peace in Iraq; what [former CIA Director] George Tenet is to slam-dunk intelligence; what [former Deputy Defense Secretary] Paul Wolfowitz is to parades paved with flowers in Baghdad; what [Vice President] Dick Cheney is to visionary energy policy; what [Defense Secretary] Donald Rumsfeld is to basic war planning; what [House Majority Leader] Tom Delay [R-Texas] is to ethics; and what George Bush is to ‘Mission Accomplished’ and ‘Wanted Dead or Alive.’”[/b][/quote]

Sounds right to me.

Where's the link to where he says what he and John would have done differently?

No, really. I'm interested in reading about potential solutions.

Yep, me too. I am interested in hearing what all these people would have done differently in ANY of the above situations. All we've been hearing is a lot of Bush-bashing, yet no one has offered up what they would do/or have done differently in the past.

Gracie, Lois, he's the worst president in the history of the United States.

Why do you still cling?

Tell me please what you would have done in response to any of the above-mentioned on Kerry's website. I don't think Bush did anything any differently in any of those cases than any other President.

In which situation? There were several listed on Kerry's site that you quoted. Also, please show me where/how Bush did not follow the National Response plan. If this is in relation to the hurrican, I believe there is something in there about coordinating efforts with the local and state governments. Since they did nothing, it was probably a bit difficult for the federal govt to do much right away until they were able to assess the situation for themselves.

QUOTE

Chertoff's hesitation and Bush's creation of a task force both appear to contradict the National Response Plan and previous presidential directives that specify what the secretary of homeland security is assigned to do without further presidential orders. The goal of the National Response Plan is to provide a streamlined framework for swiftly delivering federal assistance when a disaster - caused by terrorists or Mother Nature - is too big for local officials to handle.

But gas is so much more expensive now....so it took longer to get there.

It's too bad we don't have anyone to blame for the gas prices.
