He "was" the hope - he screwed-up big-time this week. All he had to do was say "Let's all concentrate on saving lives right now and worry about the rest later." And then, shut up.
Most people here feel that way.
We are sick of the political posturing, race baiting, blaming. We are in the midst of this and I think he spoke for alot.
He is working in NO.
Freepers are quick to judge and slow to admit that things are not always the way they see them.
Believe me, we are sick to death of this crap. If you were living here, you would understand.
I misunderstood your post.
He talks fast, says too much. And if you think he screwed up so bad, well that is too bad. He is alot better and more honest and decent than what we have now.
