Bush should be on the ground in mississippi or louisiana right now, any way you look at it. He is the leader of the fucking country, other Presidents ALWAYS go to the site, immediately after the hurricane.

Exact-i-fucking-lutely.This is what I mean - forgetting all the money not spent on preparation for this very forseebale event, forget the whatever % of LA Nat'l Guard serving honorable in Iraq, forgeting tha inability to control the weather, etc., giving th ebenefit of the doubt that this IS a disaster of monstrous proportions that any administration would have difficulty dealing with. I will grant each and everyone of those caveats.
Heck, I am sure Bush feels bad about this. And I am sure he's praying about it.
The whole point is there is a total vacuum of leadership. You got the resources there, but no one is guiding where shit should go. FEMA has been underfunded and politicized. Condi the freaking Sec of State is in New York shoe shopping.
Why is Bush or even one of his secretary's not on the FUCKING GROUND. It's called leadership. You lead from the front people. You inspire. You embody what is best and give hope.
Bush does a flyby and then he's going to give some speech?
