Morning friend. I'm just passing through.

And George Bush has nothing to do with that.

OF course not. It was Karl Rove! 8^)

I like GW and think he is by far many times better than Kerry, but he is failing to be a leader.
He has allowed himself to look like he is hiding from Cindy and now he flys over the hurricane damage in AF 1, A leader must appear to be leading and you do that by being on the scene. He should have been doing a helicopter fly-over with Governor Blanco and Governor Barbour. He should have lander at the Superdome and hugged some of the suvivors and promised aid from the Feds.
I know this is all for TV but that is whjat a real leader must do to instill confidence.
I can only think of the superb performance by Guliani after 911 and even GW's own performance at ground zero.

Boy are you going to get flamed ....... although I feel you are mostly correct.

[rhombus]

He has allowed himself to look...

I feel your pain. Now get back to work.

No no no, it was the JOOOOOOOSSSSSSS!!!

[John W]

You would think good conservatives would know the difference between style and substance.

[Ranald S. MacKenzie]

Cindy who?

[rdb3]

No no no, it was the JOOOOOOOSSSSSSS!!!

Jews... </Limbaugh>

[libertylover]

Upon returning to Washington, Congress should immediately repeal the just-passed transportation bill and reexamine our priorities in light of the devastating damage done to the region by Hurricane Katrina.

[rdb3]

Cause I'm A-I!

A-I!

R-B!

R-B!

O-R!

O-R!

N-E!

N-E!

When I can run again, I'll gladly sing that cadence.

Michael Reagan has been on a tear lately. Writing has definetly improved.

With all due respect, you are delusional. You have no idea how chaotic the situation in New Orleans is right now. Having the President land in that city (as if he could) and show up a the Superdome to hug a few black folks would be the equivalent of having him show up at Ground Zero to "feel our pain" ten minutes after the Twin Towers fell to the ground on 9/11.

I can only think of the superb performance by Guliani after 911 and even GW's own performance at ground zero.

Giuliani's "superb performance" after 9/11 began long after the danger was over. He damn near lost his life that day by showing up at the fire/police command center before the buildings fell, and wasn't looking like much of a leader when he and his entourage had to flee away from Lower Manhattan on foot like everyone else.

The chaos and disorder in New Orleans has only just begun.

And you ain't running if you don't have a 60 pound pack on your back!

[Jedi Jake]

Where's Bono?

[Toadman]

I respect your opinion oz but I disagree. I believe in substance. GW has that. I don't agree with everything he has done (or hasn't ala illegal immagration), but overall I think he has done a great job as President, especially considering the crisis he's had to deal with.

The MSM loves him so much (/sarcasm) that he's in a position where he's damned if does and/or damn if he doesn't.

I agree with you about the president's need for somewhat better PR about Katrina, but not about She-ham. The she-ham had her moment with the president and at the time, she sounded grateful. If I were him, I would meet with Casey's actual family instead. If what I've read here is true, the She-ham wasn't as involved in Casey's life as she makes out.
