Bush should show some outrage.

Nagin and Blanco are failed leaders. Bush needs to step in front of the cameras and show some of the feelings Americans have about this diaster.

He can explain, he can praise, he can fire, he can show he's pissed off.

I think Americans need to know he's pissed off.

I agree. I am increasingly frustrated by his lack of leadership during this. I am a big "W" fan and am sick of him taking the beatings for EVERYTHING and doing nothing about it. His poll numbers are lower than ever now as a result of Katrina. He had very little direct responsibility and those that did are going unscathed for the most part. What is wrong with him?!

As nice as that would be for us...the President is a grown up. He has work to do. This isn't about him, despite the incessant yelping of press and its liberal spinners.

President Bush steps up to the plate once again. He will get the rebuilding job done in a lot shorter time than is being predicted...just like the speed with which the water is being pumped out. He will make sure all the bases are covered. The economy will be fine. The Iraq situation will continue to improve.

The President can sleep at night because, by his own admission, he is a praying man who waits on the Lord to get him through these kind of crises. The rest is just noise and thrashing. In the end, the President will come through looking responsible. That is not to say mistakes were not made, because they ALWAYS are. But they were not a result of incompetence on the part of the President or his team.

The Dems know that and that is why they are thrashing so hard. In the end, most Americans do not appreciate people who try to make political hay out of tragedy. It flies in the face of how we perceive ourselves.

So...he needs to keep doing his job. No more, no less. Even if we would love to hear him go postal....just once. ; )
