And I think you're being an irrational knee-jerk Bush cheerleader.
NO president, with the exception of FDR, has had the problems thrown at him that President Bush has. He has had to deal with terorist attacks, wars, national disasters, treachery (Jeffords), and all the while very few stand in his defense, certainly not many in the media.
Apparently you think that your carping is productive. I do not. You offer no constructive solutions, only rants about what you don't like. You have never answered the specific questions I put to you. Your reponse is to call me a "Bush cheerleader" and gripe about "throwing money." WHen it has been demonstrated to you that 1. a good portion of the spending is required by the Stafford law and 2. that private sector will pick up a lot of the cost and 3. there will be heavy oversight of federal money, you refuse to answer.
I consider your comments to be without substance.
