I agree with you. On another note...Pres. Bush was here right after the flood for a fundraiser for Blackwell. He called the area a disaster, but that wasn't enough for people. They are LIVID with him that he didn't come "talk to them", yet were P.O.'d because his visit tied up traffic!

It's not enough that they are being handed money, now they want the President to PERSONALLY see their soaking wet carpet!

I wonder how they think he was supposed to come talk to them without tying up traffic. What a bunch of goobs.

On the other hand, prayers for you, since that's just a helluva hassle.

They must not understand how many people were effected by Katrina.

The people that wanted him to visit them... I'm astonished! The man is busy. I'd rather he be doing his job than giving me a hug while my life crumbles around me. That's what family and friends are for. I don't want him to be the "comforter in chief"... like Clinton's false sympathy. Bush doesn't pander or patronize.

Plainly put, I wouldn't feel worthy of Bush's attention when he has so many other matters to consider. Are these people without brains? Do they even remember that we are fighting two wars? How self-centered and myopic can they be?
