A day in the life of President Bush (9/11/05): photos

People in my own neighborhood were immediately out with chain saws clearing fallen trees from the road...

The lack of such self-sufficiency is what sickened me the most about what happened at the Superdome and NO Convention Center. Granted, it was not pleasant in those facilities for the two to four days people were stuck there. But it could have been a WHOLE LOT better if people had organized and policed themselves, did everything possible to maintain some sanitary areas, helped the ill, elderly and mothers with young children, and otherwise acted like rational human beings rather than savages.

snugs, thanks for the additional photos of Rummy. He sure does make me smile when he is laughing!

Gee, I don't think Rummy is afraid of Bush. (might be the other way around! LOL)

Your photographic timeline of Katrina is the best way I can see of preserving what really did happen. You did an magnificent job--thank you!

I like these two.

It's so hard to see the pics of all the abandon animals.

Great photos, snugs. Gen. Myers' term as chairman of the JC is almost up, and he will be retiring shortly. I'll miss him.

These little guys are just looking for their Masters. I know humans come first but it is so sad when animals are left and don't know what happened to their masters. Don't flame me please, not putting animals above humans. This whole week and day has gotten to me.

They were saying on FNC they are looking for people who are willing to look after them for 3 months...

Oh, if only my former landlord had not died suddenly and I didn't have to move last year. Where I am now is way too small for me to foster any rescued animals, although I'd love to do it. Sigh...

"May God continue to strengthen and encourage him."

And every chance we have to email the White House our encouragement and appreciation, we should take.

I think this is a fitting toaster for today

Hello to all of you! Hope you had a good weekend.

DrDeb, thank you SO much for that link. I've been saying the federal response was NOT SLOW from the beginning. Trying every which way to get the truth out as best I can from the grassroots. I agree. We must send this to Republican congress-critters, as well as to every newspaper and TV station we can think of. The MSM has maligned a magnificent job by federal first responders who saved thousands of lives.

Hi oz the rain helped today with the cricket

[homemom]

Good job on telling the FBI about your co-worker . . . wonder if he/she will be at work this week?

[ozbushkin]

Yes it is so heartbreaking to see those pets suffering; a lot of them have owners out there somewhere who would be missing them too. Its awfully sad.

[homemom]

RE: VP Cheney and Lynne; I noticed him touching her too; I wondered if he was comforting her, or seeking comfort himself?

[ozbushkin]

See my raindance is working (hehehehe). All my workmates are pretty glum about the Aussies chances now; me ... I'm thinking it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!

[homemom]

Anyone remember that old cartoon with the two dogs?

I remember that cartoon and loved it! Great comparison in the picture, too--LOL!

[pollyannaish]

At least most people understand what's happening to them. Those poor animals are not quite wild, yet not quite human. Instincts will take over and they will be fine as long as they are running loose—for a while. But then something will have to be done.

I keep wondering what I would do in that situation. My first responsibility is to my children, so I would probably have to leave the pets behind in order to ensure a dry, safe place for them. That makes it even sadder.

[I take great solace in knowing that God is preparing a special place in hell for those who are attempting to destroy our godly president!!]

I hope He calls us for ideas for torture . . . and I hope you are right!

Not only was the federal response NOT slow....The number of bodies is a fraction of what was predicted ....The pumps are emptying the bowl faster than they expected. The airport will be open for commercial traffic in a week.

Some folks could be going back much sooner than they expect....Much of NOLA was NOT flooded and suffered little damage.
