***

He could have prevented this...by signing the Kyoto Agreement.

Actually saw this on some other politics website. :)

I have never seen nor heard of any President facing so many challenges as have confronted G.W. Bush. There have been great wars, and even civil wars, but never has any faced so many challenges on so many diverse fronts. Whether it is war, the economy, our divided politics, NASA blunders, or now natural disasters, it is a daunting task. But, it is all part of the job, and Bush is either going have to step up to the plate, or step down and hand the reins to someone you can. The buck stop at his desk; and what he does, or fails to do, will determine the future of his administration, his party, and the nation.

Bush is going to have to do whatever can be done to get ahead of game. He is going to have to partially break with his supply side ideology and do what needs to get done now. No matter how uncomfortable it may be, the facts are that private enterprise has not done anything to stem the tide of illegal immigration, nor has it done anything to boost domestic oil production or gasoline refining, nor has it added nuclear power plants, nor has it been able to produced a structurally sound urban environment in New Orleans and elsewhere. Our country's problems have not and are not going to be solved by free market forces alone, and it is about time that our government steps up to play a direct leadership role in solving some of these issues.

Bush and the Republican Party, can either step up to the challenge, or pack their bags. You can't sugar coat and gloss over what is before us; nor can you statistically manipulate your way out of an overt situation that will confront every voter as they gas up to drive to the voting booth. The time to act is yesterday, and this President will either be remembered as one of our greatest, or as an absolute failure and narrow minded ideologue.

I am waiting for DU to start a thread about how the Hurricane Katrina disaster is but one more example of how Bush "Made It Happen On Purpose [MIHOP}".

It'll happen.
