According to the media, Bush has been a lame duck since Nov. 5, 2004. We didn't believe them then, let's not choose now to start.
We're all on emotional and MSM overload. But, even so, I'm still able to feel gratitude that the same steady adult that has lead us through every crisis for five years is still at the helm.
I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Godspeed, friend.
Today is not a good day for me. What can I say? :-)
MrsCinAZ, you asked about a baby who was separated from his/her mother.
BurbankKarl posted a photo of the white mother with a water bottle in her hand -- she was being interviewed so I'm assuming it was given to her by a member of the TV crew.
As I understood the TV interview, the mother passed the child to a passenger directly ahead of her in line to board a bus to Texas. Just as the mother was about to step into the bus herself, she tripped and three other passengers cut in line ahead of her. As she tried to board the bus herself, the doors were closed in her face and the bus pulled away without her with the child on board.
The TV crew intervened on her behalf while on camera, flagging down an NOPD officer who in turn brought over a state trooper. The LSP officer put the mother in his car and drove her to the location where the very next Texas-bound bus would be leaving so she could retrieve her baby. I don't know whether or not she was successful.
Hope this clarifies the posts both of you left.
Senator,
I write to you today to IMPLORE you to not let the MSM and the radical left wing of this country get away with proverbial murder.
I took the day off today in advance of Labor Day and have been watching Fox News and posting on Free Republic all day. I can not tell how disenheartened I am to read and hear what the MSM is doing to President Bush.
I think it is time for you and your colleagues to stand up and support the President 100%. Who advised the Governor of Louisiana to evacuate BEFORE the hurricane? Who tried everything in his Federal Power to prevent what happened? Who is now stepping to the forefront after the Democratically controlled local and state politicians froze like deer in a headlight and allowed this atrocity to happen?
President Bush.
As a Republican and strong backer of you for many years, I ask you to set aside ambition. Set aside the "inside the beltway" mentality and do what is right. Which is to support to the fullest extent of your power, as a duly elected United States Senator, President Bush. Represent me. Represent my voice on this. Use everything in your power, even though it may cost you politcal capital, to expose the lies, manipulation and outright slander fired toward President Bush.
Do not go quietly into the night.
"According to the media, Bush has been a lame duck since Nov. 5, 2004. We didn't believe them then, let's not choose now to start."
They called him lameduck since the Dec 2000 Supreme Court decision but the President has a way of rising above all those labels. He's not going to go 'down' with any hearings. The NO mayor, and Gov Blanco have a lot to answer for about their so-called disaster planning. Sounds like FEMA didn't plan enough for a Cat 5 hurricane either, so this has to be corrected for the future.
