The Silence of Bush is Disturbing

Posted on 08/31/2005 7:10:27 AM PDT by Monty Python

I know the Navy is bring ships, that oil reserves have been tapped but why hasn't our President appeared on TV and addressed this catastrophe? In a time of crises, the leaders should be very visible. As of now, Bush hasn't been seen. Please let me know if I've missed something.

Dude! What do you want the President to do? Paddle a raft with TV cameras on an adjacent raft showing him lifting people out of the water? And even if he did that he'd be denounced as grandstanding?

Bush is already assessing the situation - man you people whatever Bush does isn't good enough for you, isn't it?

Uh, yeah he has been seen. Monday and Tuesday he has made comments about the hurricane. Try and keep up.

Looks like your getting beat on a little bit here friend.... so I'll come to give you my insight

1. One thing I like about the Pres is he tries to get all his facts about a situation before making comments

2. I rather him be silent and get help (military) down there

3. I am sure he will make more comments in the days to come

He doesn't want to step on Governor' & Mayor's toes so he is giving them a chance to step up & lead. My prediction is that if "they" don't start speaking out today regarding the looting; the Navy coming in with supplies; the natl. guard's from other states on site and more coming....he will step up with the FEMA & Homeland Sec. guys and they will take over the lead.

BUSH CONSIDERS ADDRESS TO NATION; CALL FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION

Wed Aug 31 2005 10:20:34 ET

President Bush is considering an address to the nation asking citizens to conserve energy, a top White House says.

Bush ordered the release of oil from federal petroleum reserves to help refiners affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Bush returned to Washington on Wednesday to oversee the federal response to the historic disaster. He plans to coordinate federal efforts, across more than a dozen agencies, to assist hurricane victims.

"Still undecided is whether or not to call for a nationwide effort to reduce energy consumption during this emergency," a top Bush source explains. "It is seriously being considered." A second White House source says there are no plans for the president to address the country on gas. Developing...

Good try.

This is a walk president, not just a talk president.

It's called Google.
