I'll try to find out when President Bush made that call. I'm sure it is documented somewhere. Maybe another FReeper may also have this information. I'm just furious about the politicizing of this national tragedy by those whose main focus is to tear down President Bush. It's sick and disgusting, and THAT is an understatement.
Look. They're going to try and impeach this President. Mark my words. This isn't like the Clinton impeachment: the press won't provide cover this time, they will be on the hunt.
The lupine desire to blame the President is based (I'm guessing) on the idea that he was slow to coordinate a response because he doesn't care and he's a racist. The truth, I'm sure, is that he delegated responsibility right away to those at FEMA and homeland security. This was a logistical nightmare. The roads and bridges were damaged, and if you drop food from the air, it just gets wet (and ruined).
My point is that what the Democrats are doing is shameful, and we have to stick together and get ready for a long fight.
Thanks.
