OK, so it looks like Florida is going to get cloberred by CHARLEY. Maybe this doesn't mean anything to you CA types. But trust me, in Florida it's all that is being talked about. Bush could easily turn this to his advantage.
I sure hope Bush 43 remembers what Clinton did to Bush 41. Bush 41 may have lost Florida because of him not acting fast enough with hurricane aid. Now is the time to get ready with federal help.
Anybody who knows anybody better put out the word. Bush needs on TOP OF AID NOW and be ready. Make it known early that he is standing by with federal help. This is political dynamite if not handled properly ... and promptly
I can see the headlines, Bush doesn't care, Bush didn't help, Bush didn't ... add yyou headline here.
OK so it's a vanity, but it's really important.
I agree. I hope they have done all they can in advance. All the way up the coast.
Vent over... now can I continue with my hurricane preparations?
How nice that we have to BRIBE citizens to vote!
This country will get exactly what it really deserves - hopefully, I won't be here when it does.
Well, you know it all his fault in the first place, right?
The problem is that people have come to expect the federal governemnt to help out in what is a state task.
I hear that our governor is actually the president's brother! Man. What luck!

One of the few legitimate roles for the Federal government is to assist its citizens in times of natural disasters.

Hopefully.
If my office gets flooded...which is VERY LIKELY...I want the President to send EMERGENCY FUNDS to my company so that we can rebuild. Then I want him to apologize.
The elder President Bush WON Florida in 1992, though the slimy Dems did their best to try to blame him for Andrew.
I suspect if things get really bad after this storm and GWB goes to FL and is seen on his hands and knees helping with the clean up the first thing the lefties will say is "can't you do more?!"
Bush didn't lose Florida because of Andrew. I live in Homestead and the people who live here, and went throught he storm, have nothing but praise for the President sending aid down here, visiting the destruction etc.
Bush lost Florida because we've been taken over by northerns who think democrats are the best thing since sliced bread.
Exactly! LOL.
Don't you people realize that John Kerry's solution of calling the U.N. is a far superior solution?!!!!!

Dan Rather, a couple days from now: "The timing of the Presidents getting on his hands and knees was well-orchestrated to come AFTER the hurricane struck. Why didn't he do more to prevent the disaster?"
Absolutely keerect!!
He didn't ratify that there Keeyoto treaty, and so all them there carbons dioxide are directly attributable to him. Happened on his watch, you see.
:)
You're right, Bush did take Florida in 92. Just ignore my previous post - well except for the state being taken over.
What? You're going to beat him up?
