Well look who just got up: the head Doom and Gloomer.
Howlin, she's (or it's) been pi**ing all over this thread. Makes me not even want to mention her, lest she get bumped to the top of everyone's ping list. We know what we have with W. Plain, direct, hat AND cattle. If we want some faux tears emotionalist in the WH, get Bubba...or Jimmy Swaggart. For my vote, W is the guy we elected. Daily I'm reminded how blessed we are to have him at this time.
I would have had him condemn the looting. I would have had him make some kind of statement that Americans are better than some of the pictures have shown. I would have had him say that the rescue workers are heroes...and I would have had him (without fully mentioning it) say that these rescue workers are the equal of any in our history. I thought he sounded kind of silly talking about "144 generators." We're sending generators. Period. The laundry-list-by-the-numbers was not Presidential. Again, just my opinion.
I offered this opinion very respectfully.
In my view Bush and Chertoff were excellent today, He asuaged a lot of my fears that they didn't know what the hell they were doing. When he said it would take years to rebuild, I knew he knew exactly what he was doing. For once, I both support and am greatly relieved that the feds have taken the bit from the states.
